Our Week

How has your week been?

It's the end of another busy week. I know I keep saying it but I can't believe how fast the weeks and the year are flying by! I'd love things to slow down a little.

Finn's footy team made it into the Grand Finals, they lost out but they all played so well.

Even though Finn has been injured and missed half of the games he has been down there every weekend running on the tee for the kicks and staying part of things. Every one has been so lovely at keeping him feeling involved. It was great to sit out in the sun and enjoy the game.

I met up with a friend at The Grounds. I "met" Cill through Instagram a couple of years ago and even though I feel like I've known her for ages it was the first time we've met up face to face. 

It's amazing the connections you can make through social media isn't it? 

The weather has been beautiful! A perfect start to Spring. 

We've been enjoying a few walks in the sun this week. I have the cutest little walking buddy ;)

I couldn't resist putting this bunch of colour in the trolley when I did the grocery shopping this week. 

A pop of prettiness for the coffee table.

I finally finished this 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle! I had grand plans of us all sitting around the table as a family laughing, chatting and doing the puzzle.  Hmmm, I think I was a little ambitious. A few too many pieces and a little intricate for everyone. But I HAD to finish it, so I worked on it a little each night and Simon took pity on me and helped me finish it off.

Jasper earned another stripe on his belt at Jujitsu. Soooo proud!

We started to spruce up the outdoor area for the warmer weather and went to Bunnings for a couple of things. We came home with a car load of pots and plants (as you do!) and outside is looking great.

I've got a few things to finish off and then photos to come!

We ended the week with a sweet treat. When we were younger the Mr Whippy van always drove around on a Sunday. It's still exciting to see one!

What did you get up to?

How has the weather been at your place? Spring like?

Our week - Back to reality

The holidays are over and we are slowly getting back into routine. It's actually quite nice to get back into a regular rhythm again. The boys are excited to be back at school and with their friends.

Lets hope the enthusiasm lasts!

Here is a look at our week -

With everyone back at school it was up and at em! 

Getting the house back in order after the holidays means fresh flowers too. 

I couldn't resist these dahlias.

The weekends are for pancake breakfasts.

Simon and I saw 2 movies in 2 days. Our movie drought is well and truly over. The Theory of Everything was about Stephen Hawking's early life, marriage and children. It was a really sweet but sad movie. I really liked it and found it quite interesting as I didn't really know much about him.

Wild was the 2nd movie. A true story about a woman who decides to hike alone for 3 months after her marriage breaks down and her mother dies. I enjoyed it as it kept you watching  and hoping for a happy ending.  Reese Witherspoon was great in it.

I signed up for this Social Media workshop being held in Sydney in April by The Digital Picnic.

I can't wait to learn some new tips + tricks. I love the motivation a good workshop gives you.

Is this is something you'd be interested in?

Finn was away on school camp for a few days and I took the opportunity to rearrange his room and freshen things up. I also couldn't resist this cute little side table from Kmart.

I bought a new hanging plant to sit on my kitchen shelves and the latest issue of Real Living arrived.

The week ended with a little disappointment when we walked out to the kitchen yesterday morning and found water squirting out of the gaps between the floorboards. It turns out that when we had the dishwasher repairman out last week, he didn't reconnect the hose properly. So we have had a steady leak all week that has seeped out under the majority of the floorboards in the kitchen and living area.

We're getting advice on where we go from here! Luckily insurance covers everything.

I also reopened my Etsy shop after a long break over the school holidays.

So how has your week been?

Stills - my week in photos

The summery weather meant it was time to bring out the dresses. This one is from Little Tienda

We did the Bondi to Tamarama walk and checked out Sculpture by the Sea

I had lunch at Kitchen by Mike with some friends and checked out Koskela afterwards

We bought out the old school ice cream for dessert. 

 All flavours are currently being eaten ;)

Noah loved his ice cream  and I am loving his cute t shirt from Mini Mayhem

 Mum's house was looking extra pretty this week 

Halloween was lots of fun and the boys loved celebrating and trick or treating with their friends

Fresh sheets and new pillowcases from Kip and Co

I shared a few of my favourite beauty & fashion loves over at Style on V

I managed to take a snap of all of the boys.

We added a couple of flamingos to the garden, ready for summer
