Valentine's Day ideas

I love any day that celebrates love, so celebrating Valentine's Day is a given for me!

I love to give Simon and the boys something simple like a card and chocolates and just acknowledge the day. It's also fun to bake some type of Valentine treat, usually something heart shaped.

I've popped a few cute ideas below...

Simone & Simon...21 years x

Simon and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary the other day xx

Thursday's Thoughts x

I came across this the other day on Instagram via @sistersvillage and thought it was beautiful x

Jasper turns 13.

Well, we have another teenager in the house! Jasper turned 13 today.

We had presents in the morning, phone calls from family then off to school. 

We then celebrated with Jasper's favourite chocolate cake for afternoon tea and a promise of a future celebration with friends later on in the year. 

Of course we had the obligatory helium balloons in the birthday numbers but they were a tough find this year! I had to hunt around and the only 13 I could find was in rose gold. 

(There must be lots of celebrations happening this month?!)

Jasper had a smile on his face all day and had a great birthday. 

He is just the sweetest and we love him so much!

Happy Birthday Jassie xx

Mother's Day 2020

Mother's Day 2020.

Hand made cards, presents from the boys, breakfast in bed, our annual feet pic, catch up with my mum, afternoon in the sun in the backyard, feeling LOVED.

20 years - a city break to celebrate.

A few weeks ago Simon and I booked a couple of nights at a hotel in the city to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It's the city where we met when we were working together at The Renaissance Hotel (now the Sydney Marriott) We chose a staycation close to home to enjoy Sydney and all those things you never take advantage of in your home town in your busy day to day life. 

I never get over how beautiful the harbour is and how lucky we are to live surrounded by so many amazing spots!

We stayed at The Langham as we had never stayed there before and we loved that there was the Day Spa attached and it was in walking distance to The Rocks and several restaurants/bars.

It's a gorgeous boutique hotel with a lovely vibe. They also have a great new restaurant that recently opened " Kitchen on Kent" and the buffet there was amazing!

During our stay we booked in for a couple's massage and took full advantage of the pool and spa.

It was lovely to pop in here in the afternoon to relax and refresh before going out for dinner.

On one of the days we drove over to Bondi for a walk then headed to Watson's Bay for a seafood lunch. The blue skies and crowd made us feel like we were on holidays and miles away from home.

Also a Frose at lunchtime on a Wednesday definitely had us in vacation mode.

One afternoon we wandered down to The Rocks for a drink at The Lord Nelson. It's such a beautiful area with the old sandstone buildings and trees everywhere. 

We couldn't resist a stroll past Pottinger St in The Rocks, the site of our first kiss! Simon walked me to my car after work 23 years ago and the rest is history ;)

We chose our favourite Mr Wong's for dinner one night. The food never disappoints!

The cocktails were pretty good too.

Later on we walked off dinner by the harbour and enjoyed the pretty lights and buskers.

It was so lovely to take a couple of days off from normal routine and celebrate our anniversary.

I can't believe it's been 20 years! I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 20 hold x
