{Photo a Day Challenge] - Something I Wore

I wish that my photo today might have looked something like this ....

Can you imagine hanging washing and changing nappies wearing this?!

 Sadly, no! Maybe that's exactly what my day yesterday needed, but instead what i wore looks more like this .....

 

Yep, no amount of photo edit makes it look any flashier! 

In case you missed it, I'm joining Fat Mum Slim in her Photo-a-Day challenge for the month of January. Pop over to her facebook page to check out her photos and find more people playing along!

Hopefully, it won't be too long before this is repalced, but it is the last thing on the list of renovations!
Still, i love our little letterbox. Its brought me lots of wonderful parcels of late!

Guest Post

Just a quick note to say, I'm guest posting over at Handmade Kids today. 

Pop over to learn how to make a fabric bunting with my easy tutorial!

{Photo A Day Challenge} - Breakfast

There is no making A cuppa in this house!

I love that my little people love 'cuppas'! Though i fear  my middle daughters 'cuppa' addiction might stay with her into adulthood!


This is my morning coffee. My breakfast!

{Photo a Day Challenge] - YOU

Ok, so Me, really!
Chantelle over at Fat Mum Slim is so full of great ideas lately (Social Media Secret Santa was her brain child also!) Her most recent idea was the 'Photo a Day' Challenge for the month of January.  I've decided to join her in this challenge, and Day 1 was particularly scary! I hate havign photos taken of myself - HATE IT! But my sister had her camera pointed in my direction for alot of yesterday, so in the end, i DID have a photo to post for yesterday, and here it is!

So this is me on 1st Jan 2012, having had barely any sleep the night before. We had welcomed in the new year with some close friends, enjoying my birthday dinner and games of cards. I'm still carrying a bit of 'baby fat' leftover from Mr P's pregnancy some 6.5months ago, which i hope to lose in the new year.

Chewing on my baby boys scrumptious cheek!

I also hope 2012 is a year of more conquering of fears (such as having my photo taken - i don't look half as bad as i always assume i will!) and stretching myself - getting out of my comfort zone!

Here's to 2012! 

May you kinder to the world, and those i love than 2011 was!

{Social Media} Secret Santa

Recently, I was lucky enough to participate in a Social Media Secret Santa, the brain child of Fat Mum Slims' Chantelle.
What better way to celebrate the festive season than to not only 'stalk' one wonderful lady, but also, to get to know a bunch of other ladies in the big wide virtual world of blogging, tweeting and all that is Social Media!

I thought I'd share a little of the Christmas Spirit and show off some pics of the gift I sent, and the one i received as well!

I thoroughly enjoyed 'stalking' my secret santa recipient (i even got lost in her blog, forgetting what i was there for!) and found her answers to a few questions posed on the Facebook Group really helpful. I just hope that she loved her gift!

Wrapped and ready to go!

After posting off my gift, and seeing that she had received and liked it, I sat back and waited patiently (Ok, so I harrassed the Postie and any other passerby) until the day my beautiful gift arrived!

Gorgeous right?!

 And was soo pleased with what was inside...

My Secret Santa (who at this point is still a secret, but shhh, i think i might know who it is! ;)) did such a wonderful job of picking a gift for me. I especially love the little birdie, and the apron!

THANKYOU SECRET SANTA!

And thank you to Chantelle for organising the whole thing!!
