natural

Anyone would think that I have only one child... But I really do enjoy taking pics of my youngest child. She is just natural and uninhibited in front of the camera - she hasn't got to the fake forced smile stage yet... My only complaint is that I really wish I had a good camera :( I find it a bit frustrating, but have to make do with a bit of tweaking with photo editing ;)

Adrian and Charli went out for the day so I spent the day with Miki. It was lovely to spend one on one time with her. We did some cooking and snuggled up on the couch with some popcorn and watched a movie called 'Chestnut' a feel good movie about two orphans and a dog called Chestnut.

I have been caught up with lots of things lately like work, renovating, keeping on top of the housework, and spending time with my little girl today reminded me again to stop and take stock of what is important in life. Ok getting a bit deep, but you know what I mean!

birthday celebrations..

Gosh this post is well and truly overdue (insert embarrassed face). But better late than never I suppose...

I have a gorgeous bunch of girlfriends, that get together to help celebrate each others birthdays (great excuse to get together for a girls night out). It was my birthday in August and the lovely Karens birthday in September, so it was decided that we would celebrate our bday's together (it is quite a task to coordinate a night that is ok for eight busy women). We went to a restaurant that we haven't been to before called Pistashio's and it was such a lovely night! We will definitely be going back there.

We were very spoilt with some really lovely presents - thank you so much girls xx

Here is a few pics of the night (thanks to the resident photographer - Karen for the photos x), unfortunately we were missing Fiona on the night - hopefully she will be ok to come to the next dinner!
