Beau Monde

Beau Monde sells the most adorable cards and stationery, my favorites being from the creative director Kelly Hyatt. The above three illustrations are from the Juliette collection.

Above three illustrations from the St Germain collection.

Don't forget the ever so lovely Mathilda's market is on this weekend if your a Melbournian. So many of my favourite labels are there and I am devastated (well a little) that we have planned a little trip away on the same date. Arrgh!

~ First Food ~

A big week for Miss Indi - a christening one day and then we gave her her first taste of solid food! Surprisingly she swallowed it - hoping this is a good sign and she follows in big sisters foot steps and is a good eater (middle sister is not so great and very unadventurous)

Mommy and Me Photo Challenge

The adorable Rachelle over at Kenzie Poo held a 'Mommy and Me' photo comp recently... and I couldn't resist! You might recognise this one from my profile:

This pic was taken at Watson's Bay during a visit to Sydney to see my sister for her birthday. We had a lovely day down by the water, eating fish & chips and seeing how the 'other half' live!

Visit the results of the competition here -- there are some gorgeous and inspirational pics, not to mention links to some fabby blogs you may not have seen!

~ Happy Christening ~

This weekend we celebrating Indiana's Christening.

We had a lovely lovely day filled with love and laughter from our families.

Indi was a gem and we did not hear her cry all day - happy to watch everything going on around her and sleep in between.

The cake was so yummy and was demolished very fast!!

Most importantly the kids had a wonderful time together ...

here are 10 of the cousins (just missing Indi who was sleeping and Marcus who we couldn't catch to sit still long enough).

It is so lovely having a big family with lots of kids around.

And the new house survived it's first "party"!!!
