Aussie Aussie Aussie Oui Oui Oui
My Aussie Girls on Australia Day - what could be more Australian than a swim in the backyard pool followed by a great backyard barbie. Hope you had a great Australia Day too.
Made it love... Bits & Bubs
I have been meaning to show you some of my Made it Christmas purchases for a while now - I LOVE LOVE these Holly Hobbie pants from Bits & Bubs I got for Lou. Holly Hobbie is a fav. of mine (you might remember my LLFF Holly Hobbie Hair Pretties) so I just had to get these lazy lounge pants. They look so great on and I always get comments from other people when she wears them.
Brooke 's shop has gorgeous modern vintage items from pants and pretty singlets to big girl notty necklaces - which I just HAD to get too!
We reached over 200 fans today which is awesome!

Would YOU Take a One-Year-Old to a Wedding?
We travelled to Canberra for a wedding over the weekend... 4.5 hours in the car with a 12 month-old baby = fun times! My parents came down with us to babysit Fern throughout the reception which was nice, but we decided to take her along with us to the church ceremony. I had my 'bag of tricks' and thought she might just sit contentedly on our laps. Ha!

The extreme heat over the weekend meant that even inside the big stone church it was a good 30+ degrees, and we were broiling from the moment we all squeezed into the pew. Fern did sit on her dad's lap... for about 12 seconds while she munched on some sultanas, then proceeded to squirm from his lap onto the floor and then crawled into the isle where she threw sultanas around like rice confetti and then ate them off the floor. V glamorous, my daughter.
Once she grew bored of flinging sultanas, my daughter discovered the flowers tied to the end of the pews and I spent most of the remainder of the service prying orchid stems from between her sticky fingers...
Fern's latest trick (and we have no idea where this has come from) is this sort of fake, chipmunk giggle which, once she gets started, she can continue for hours at a time. The wedding was apparently hilarious to my daughter, who laughed like a hyena, causing people to turn around and no doubt wonder what type of marsupial had escaped from a zoo into the church. By this stage I was hiding in another pew with my head hidden; so I could only shake my head in bemusement.
Yes; it's interesting times with a baby/ almost toddler.... but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Have a great week!
