~ Pretty Pink Post ~

As my world is filled with even more pink now I could not resist a Pretty Pink Friday Post so here are some very pretty pink things.




Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 

Bird Cage

My sister gave me a bird cage as a present. I had originally put it in my office, but on completing decorating our bedroom I thought it looked great sat on top of my wardrobe with a small decorative bird inside instead.

~ A Week of Firsts ~

We are now back home after a wonderful few days of firsts for our new little girl!

The past 5 days have been absolutely wonderful for me - knowing that this is our last addition to the family I have just really soaked in my 5 precious days of one on one time with our devine newborn.  She has been an absolute angel and pretty much slept for the entire time - I even have to wake her to feed her as she is so sleepy.  Now time to get back to the real world and try and organise 3 little munchkins and a husband!  Fun times ahead ... wish me luck.

Thank you to everyone for they lovely words and best wishes.

LIfe - A Journey Not A Race


Life is not a race
But a journey to be savoured
Each step of the way
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift

Do not fret over what has passed it can not be undone
Remember tomorrow always becomes today
So cherish the moments that today has bought
And above all - Take time to smell the roses


Bicycle helmet

Yakkay smart one bicycle helmet
So I have found my dream bike, and what I think is the most adorable bicycle basket. This got me thinking about finding cool bike helmets because as much as I would rather not wear one, I realise it's better to be safe than sorry. After much searching I found this cool one from Yakkay.

"Yakkay 'smart one' is a new smart design that differs by its rounded ear straps and adjustment buckles in polished stainless steel. But the real difference shows when one of the many different covers is attached to helmet – It changes from its characteristics of a helmet to a hat and becomes an accessory to your outfit. You adjust the helmet to your head with a number of adhesive foam circles which have the added advantage that air can circulate between them. When you are riding your bicycle, air will be pushed into the helmet, and pleasantly cool down your head. In addition, your head will stay dry in rainy weather, as the covers are designed without open holes."

I love Flickr. It's what got me started on my blog, so I wanted to highlight here some of my Flickr Favourites (view them all here). I will endeavour to bring you four of my Flickr Faves every Sunday from some of the most inspirational photographers on Flickr.

Pretty! Oh, so pretty! Some beautiful shots that I have favourited (clockwise from top left):
