Birthday Pips!

A mini-homage to our 8yr old beauty & her birthday celebrations xx

Blockheads!

Us Anscombe girls (and Paulee when he is home!) are fanatical Blockheads!

So imagine our excitement when we visited THE BLOCK!  The real life current reno-apartment block in South Melbs!

Check out the awesome 'green walls' - It is somewhat strange to be star-struck over a building!


 






PaD catch up!

I have been keeping up with my photo-a-day.... just!
Here's the last few days: -
12 - 11 o'clock... yes, I missed this one!

13 - kitchen... our wretched square sinks

14 - texture... badly interpreted on my part but this bus appears on my lifelong fave textile of all, silk xx

15 - from above... the most totes delish cob dip in partial state of demolition!

16 family... doesn't get closer than these two xx

PaD 11 something funny

Having a little garage tidy up yesterday, I came across boxes of 'things' from a street shop all the girls in our road had been playing at a couple of months ago.

At the time I had suggested maybe they make some Rose water. In the boxes I found this... Rosemary water! Just love it!

Now you see it... now you don't!

What a difference ten minutes can make...


And the latest letter from the Tooth Fairy read: -

PIPPAAAAAAA!

How quickly did that tooth pop out!  I was talking with Victoria (special tooth fairy ambassador for the best dentist in the Universe, Dr Victor) and she mentioned you had a wobbly one!  She also told me how proud I should be of you because you enjoyed the dentist so much.  I feel so happy right now!

I love your new house! And your room is so awesome.  Your house in Sydney was nice but I prefer this one it’s so close to the sea.  I love dolphins, you see, so I love being close to the ocean.

Now, you asked me about my brothers and sisters I have 1 sister called Tilly and 9 brothers!  We have much bigger families in Fairyland, don’t you think!  My brothers names are Rupert, Dougal, Fergal, Calum, Jasper, Tarquin, Charliebob, Llewelyn and Rory Rory was just born at Christmas time xxxx

As always, I have taken your tooth’s magic and strength with me.  Do make a wish remember it will only come true if you carry happiness and kind words in your heart everyday.

Remember if you feel that little tickle on your cheek while you are sleeping that’s the flitter flutter of my wings as I collect your tooth!


See you super-soon
Your fairy-friend,
Maxilla xxxx

PaD #5 enrivonment

PaD = Photo a Day!  yeah... lazy!

Today I had the joy of volunteering at the girls' school and joining a working bee tending to the Kitchen Garden - lots of barrowing and raking of mulch, whilst the Environment Team (kids including Megan xx) weeded and chatted!

Here's my FMS photo for today, chosen because my daughter planted it!
 And here are a few other pics from the Enviro Warriors!

FMS Photo A Day #1-4

Here are my first ramblings into the world of taking a photo a day....

#1 B is for... BIG! - Here is Paul's Veggie Calzone at Groove Train... it's on a huge dinner plate!
#2 a moment - capturing Sunday hair xx
#3 on my table - honestly, not staged!  This little collection was on my dining table... and has been for about 4 weeks! #procrastination
#4 after dark - I just love this little Sun Jar which sadly only really comes into her own in Winter when the sun goes down early enough for the kids to see her glow
Pretty proud of myself for going a whole four days!  I wonder how long it will continue ;o)

FMS Photo A Day June

OK!  Here are the deets!  Gorgeous Fat Mum Slim sets some daily 'prompts' to encourage us (the participants) to take time to think / look / breathe ... that's my interpretation anyway!

Here's the list for this month....
