Its-the-weekend

Hi lovelies! Well it’s been another busy week here. We’ve survived the first week back at school after a frantic (but enjoyable) school holidays, we’ve well and truly welcomed the arrival of the winter season, and we’ve been getting back on top of all of our extra curricular activities. Hello ballet, gymnastics, drama, music, french, jazz, japanese and horse riding. You’re all so much fun to do but sometimes I don’t know where we find the time!

I’ve also been busy working on a very exciting new project to be announced soon. Hopefully it will be the start of some great new resources for you and provide lots of fun new tips, tricks and info. I can’t wait to share so stay tuned for the big announcement!

On Friday I also had a quick trip to Melbourne to attend the Kids Business Bloggers Brunch. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet with some other bloggers and share our stories. There were some great brands showcasing some awesome new products to be released later in the year and a very inspiring story from Taryn Brumfitt of The Body Image Movement. If you’ve got a spare few minutes, have a read and get on board. I promise, you won’t be sorry! Plus, I’m still dreaming about the new products from Crayola and can’t wait to get my hands on some to road test with the kids!

My visit to Melbourne put me in a proper wintery feel good mood. The layered winter coats and scarves were warm and protective against the icy cold chill and these new boots were a much-needed retail therapy splurge! So now that we’ve welcomed the cooler weather to Australia, and heralded my favourite season, here’s a few favourites collected this week for The Weekly List.

Think water is boring? Here’s why babies and toddlers don’t need fruit juice.

Do you like recycling and reusing. Quick Tip: use your leftover Jalna pots to hold your paints and craft things and give them a makeover too!

Dear Nannies: A Nanny’s best tool is herself is another great read from Nanny Magazine. If you’re not subscribed to Nanny Magazine electronic articles, you should be!

This collection of picture books about friendship will keep your night-time reading with the kids well stocked. Plus, pretty colours are always needed!

Some snail mail earlier this week brought the arrival of my newly designed business cards and reminded me that I’m on the way to making my dreams a reality!

What’s your winter style? Do you love the cold or hate it?

Happy weekend lovelies!

    I love the cold!! I do hate autumn though… Makes too much work for me in the garden! I did buy some pink flamingos so hopefully that will entice me to get outdoors… That is if the dog doesn’t eat them first! Xoxo

      You love the cold too! It’s great isn’t it, the fresh crispness in the air and the smell of fireplaces. Ahh, heaven. It’s true, autumn leaves are pretty but hard work that’s for sure. Oh uh, cheeky dog – there’s trouble..
