Thoughtful Thursday


I can always rely on Simone over at The Bottom of the Ironing Basket for fantastic quotes and sayings and this one seems highly appropriate for today.

May you perform one random act of kindness today which makes you smile!

New Kitchen

Mini Le Creuset



Pretty kitchen utensils



Cute baking!


I am so excited! We are going to put a new kitchen in our house! Our current kitchen has electric blue skirting boards, a brass hood, missing lino floor tiles, missing handles, doors etc, a beige sink and a fridge freezer that covers the window. You get the idea, it is one nasty kitchen!

As kitchens are once or twice in a lifetime projects I want a kitchen that has longevity, with a classic design but one that feels modern. I am looking at white door and drawer fronts as white is definitely a classic in kitchen design. It gives a light and airy feel, yet is elegant as it is not the most practical colour for a kitchen. I'm hoping it will work as a classic backdrop to my colourful kitchen accessories and personal style.

I will share with you here the great finds and pretties I find along the way!

Have a sweet day!

Ever wondered What Would Happen if You Ate Crayons?



Have you ever watched an episode of Myth Busters? I felt like my very own episode this afternoon...

When I was a kid, I ate my share of grossness. Cat biscuits. Raw sausage. Random weeds from the garden. That sort of thing.

So I wasn't too surprised when Fern decided that her first box of crayons held far more potential as a snack than as a drawing implement. It happened before I could stop her, and when she smiled, red and yellow wax was wedged between her teeth.

Anyway, I discovered categorically that --

-- if one eats a fair proportion of a box of crayons... yes, it will materialise out the other end. And yes, the same colour as it went in.

Ahhhhhh, motherhood.
