Well I'm doin a little flashback friday of my own today! Seeing as it was Mia's 3rd birthday on Tuesday I thought I would post a couple of pics of her as a newborn! The one in the pink stripey top is of her at 2 weeks old, and the other one is of her about 20 minutes old! I love this pic sooooooooooo much, just looking at her baby photos makes me want another one pretty badly! We will see about that in the next few months.............
Some pics from yesterday! Mia was sitting on the dining table as you do, playing with her new play-do she got for her birthday! needless to say there was playdo all over the place but she had fun... except for trying to eat it! The one of Mia is in her new Bathers that her Nanna and Poppy bought her inDarwin on holidays a couple of weeks ago! She thought it was her ballerina dress! It was 31 degrees here yesterday so I thought she might have fun in the backyard with her outdoor play-stuff that you can hook hose up to. There was a lot of squeeling and carrying on but no actual get wet! But again, fun was had!

A Lo from last night, did a couple of wedding ones
too but they are so simple and plain not sure if I will post them! Maybe later! These are all the chicks I hang out with here! They keep me sane, except Kylie & I are the only ones with kids but the friends without kids, love our kids, so we are lucky that way!


Finally here is my radish seeds making thier emergence.... Dad wanted us to plant them because they pop up quickly and maybe Mia could appreciate more how things grow!!!
Have a great day, gotta get myself together coz it's playgroup very soon, and I have spent alot of time wasting time this morning!!!

Hiya! Anyone miss me???? Feels like I haven't been 'putering much lately! It's been flat out around here......

Had my parents here for nearly 5 days, and lots of jobs have been happening around my house... We planted a heap of seedlings and a few seeds too. Now we have snow peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, mingon lettuces, radishes, red capsicums as well as all my herbs that are already powering along.... Will be kinda satisfying to watch them all grow...

Top photo is when my parents took Mia to the playground, next one is me planting snow peas.....
hamburger night here Sat night after all the planting going on, they were so yummy! Our friends C & S came for a visit and ended staying for tea which was great as we hadn't had a meal with them for AGES.........

Mia's 3rd birthday yesterday, she ahd a ball, little party with 3 of her friends and a few champers for me... another year full of milestones... We gave her a bike and other thing too, she's into Dora big time... You can see from her photo with her cake that she is sooooo happy, we were all singing happy birthday to her at this stage & it was almost like she couldn't believe we were singing it to her.... SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE... she really is shining....












And as for scrapbooking I am so having withdrawals...haven't done any in over a week, and I'm hating it!!! SO tonight my DH better not pester me and just let me SCRAP!!!!!!! I have mini-layouts to finish and just want to play with new goodies I bought from two on-line stores, haven't even hardly looked at my purchases, finally got some Prima Sprites and just want to put them everywhere I really love the look of them! Well it's off for a coffee and a tidy -up around here I have been sooooooooooo lazy today!

p.s. sorry about the list numbers over this post, I cnnot figure out how to NOT have them on my post but can't and am not happy! Still learning how to control this blog......

Ok,thanks to CrazyMumm, for this Rockin Girl Blogger tag! And I'm a bit partial to pink, so I love it! I'm not sure who to tag so I'll try and remember who has blogs that maybe you haven't already been TAGGED!!! Maybe I will tag.....

THANKS LUCY!!! xxxx

OH MUM!!!!



I was trying to take some photos of Mia yesteray morning coz she looked so cute, all ready for Pre-Kindy but she was having none of it! She was down-right telling me 'Mum, don't take photos of me'. It IS getting harder and harder to take photos of her, she just doesn't like it! I guess after 3 full-on years of having a camera in her face, she might be getting just a tad sick of it! But persist, I will!!!!

My parents are coming for another visit today as it's Mia's 3rd birthday on Tuesday! We have her a new bike and a helmet, a DORA clock and money box in one, and asst little other things! When we went back to the 'hometown' a few weeks ago, we bought back a few presents from family for her, I can't wait to see what's inside them! I'm sure I will post a heap of pics of her day!

Making mini-chicken pies for tea so had better go and see how the brew is going....

Am planning to update my list of blogs that I visit, because in reality, I lurk on heaps of them, I have a HUGE list of Favourites and will be adding them to my list soon!!!


Have a great weekend, I will! (well i hope)

bla bla bla


Mia asleep on the lounge! She WILL NOT have a sleep during the day (according to her) and then falls asleep willy nilly all over the place! She was really tired on Saturday, we had a full on day. And a late night the night before! Had Garage Sale and Op Shopping to do! The op shop isn't as good as the ones in the city but it's pretty good for an outback one! Up here you make do with what you have coz there is a big drive ahead of you if you want to get to civilization!






Few LO's I did yesterday, I picked out a few older phots and scrapped em!
Mia sitting on Father Christmas knee, she was 3 and a half months old and couldn't give a rats about it all but being the Mum that I am, couldn't wait to puther on Santa's knee for a couple of snaps..........


















When Mia was 2 we gave her a 6v ride on thingy! She loved it and if you can see her face in this pic, she looks VERY smug! She couldn't really steer that well to start with and we had to keep rescuing her after she had ridden into the couch, walls, tables, doors.........
















This one is of Mia when she was a little tacker.... She was so cute, you don't realise how small they really are until you look back on pics and realise, she was a cute little chubby thing! Now she is tall and growing out of clothes pretty fast..... I love this pic, but the LO I'm not so sure about, maybe a bit more paint around the other edges, what do you rekon? If you have the time, let me know!!!


Mia's 3rd birthday next week so off to write some invites for a few friends to come and run amok in the back yard!! Maybe ring a rosey or something like that too!!!

Hope you're having a good week so far! xx
