Little Dress

Lil wore her first dress to church on Sunday…oh so cute! I especially love the little tights underneath with lace around the bottom. 🙂

Hoodies

Who can’t resist a good bargain? I was in Kmart doing a bit of shopping and came across these Bonds hoodies – usually $40, reduced to $8!! Too good to pass up, so I bought myself a few! And Miss Whitney, look out…one is coming your way!

Tub Time

Lil has outgrown the kitchen sink, so we have graduated to the laundry trough! This is where I used to have a lot of my baths as a baby/toddler…it is so convenient! Oscar decided he would join in on the fun too!

Recipe Monday

On Friday night Filipa and I made this beautiful salad for dinner. The recipe was from a Woolworths magazine…unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it, but luckily Filipa eats super slow and still had a bit left when I thought about it! So, there are photos of her half eaten bowl and the picture from the magazine! It was soooo good…light and summery and left you feeling fresh and fruity!
