~ Saturday Night ~
The Fourth annual Stillbirth Foundation Australia's Little Feet Taking Big Steps Ball is on again this weekend in Sydney.
The night once again promises to be a wonderful evening and while I have had to take a tiny step back from planning the event this year I know how much time and effort goes into putting together a fundraiser.
We hope to raise some vital funds for research into Stillbirth and I am so proud to be involved in this wonderful foundation that is really making a difference to peoples lives.
I look forward to sharing more about the evening with you next week.
Enjoy your weekend!!

~ Four Generations ~
What a lovely day we had today - the girls and I went to my mums so that Indiana could meet her Great Grandmother for the first time.
Here were are - all four generations of girls - how wonderful to have so many generations here. My grandmother will be 90 in November, she has 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and next month will welcome her first great great grandchild.
Amazing!!
