14 Days of Valentine’s

January 31st, 2011|Categories: A Little Delightful|Tags: |2 Comments

I am so excited to be working with Jade from Super Organiser Mum on a range of printables she has in mind for her lovely readers. I had the pleasure of meeting with Jade and when she asked me to design these Valentines printables I was so excited. I think this is just a beautiful idea, very simple to do but what a lovely little tradition to start. These are a set of 14 little numbered cards that you can use to write little love notes to your special loved ones. For us, Valentine’s has […]

gifts

As Christmas has now come and gone and the initial novelty of new gifts has worn off, what are we loving still?The little guy:Blocks! He has been playing with these non-stop for ages now. We have progressed from building on the floor to building on a table to keep his masterpieces away from a certain crawly baby.I have become quite the real estate photographer!This house has a carport … But this one has an outdoor pool …This Globe is a hit, too. We can colour it in, put dots on places he has been to, […]

Happy Australia Day!

January 25th, 2011|Categories: A Little Delightful|Tags: |0 Comments

I hope that you are enjoying your Australia Day!I am proud of us, we are a great country and we come together when our fellow Aussies need a hand. Over $100 million has been raised for flood victims in the last month! I am heartbroken by the extent of the damage these floods have caused. The loss of loved ones is of course irreplaceable. But we can help rebuild lives and we are doing that.Hug an Aussie today! I know I will be. 🙂

here

Right now, I am here.This is where I grew up.This is where a bit of my heart will always stay.This is where my family all converge, even though we have grown and moved and made lives elsewhere. We visit our parents here, and life is as we knew it before. Fun, laughter, late nights talking. My holiday here is almost over. It’s not as often as I’d like that we get back here, and I am going to miss it. I love that I have the chance to teach my children so much about another […]

valentine’s day fortune cookies

January 21st, 2011|Categories: crafts, printables|Tags: |3 Comments

I found this super cute tutorial for Valentine’s felt fortune cookies here. They were really very simple to make.Instructions:Cut your circles out. I used a ramekin to get my circles, I think they turned out to be a good size.Fold in half and use a hot glue gun. Remember to leave a space for your ‘fortune’ or place it there just before gluing to make it a little easier later on. {trying to smoosh the little messages into the finished cookies was a little difficult}.Once dry, fold in half and secure with a little more […]

technical issues

Firstly, I am delighted that so many of you want to download my Australia Day toppers & flags! It really makes my day to know that people like the work that I do and the thought of them being used to brighten up an occasion in your homes is such a nice feeling. Secondly, I have received a lot of emails about it not being able to download properly. I’ve had a look and I can’t work out why it isn’t working so I’ve decided to try out another site for downloading. Please let me know […]

love, when you are 3

January 14th, 2011|Categories: A Little Delightful|Tags: , |1 Comment

It is exactly a month before Valentine’s Day.For us, Valentine’s Day isn’t about gifts and chocolates and flowers, but about love and family and being together. We show that we love each other each and every day and don’t need a day specifically for it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun to make a big deal of Valentine’s and the lead up to it!For us Valentine’s is about putting a little extra effort into sharing and smothering the LOVE all over.Love is what you have for your family members, or your husband, wife […]

being thankful

January 8th, 2011|Categories: crafts|Tags: , , |2 Comments

Each day I ask Noah what he is Thankful for. It can be something small, or something big. Often, I am blown away by his responses. Sometimes it is something I didn’t think he thought much of. Sometimes it is something I am truly touched he is thankful for. Sometimes it makes me laugh out loud. But it is always beautiful to hear.When Noah started to understand what Thankful meant we started this daily ritual. And after a few months I wondered why I wasn’t writing it all down. It is such a beautiful and true […]

growing up

January 7th, 2011|Categories: printables|Tags: , |1 Comment

We all know growing up means more responsibilities. I know I’m a grownup with responsibilities as we just paid for a major car service! Haha. {Oh okay and I have two kids and all that raising them entails but you know what I mean}Luckily when you’re 3 you don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff! Instead, your responsibilities are things like making your bed, and putting dirty clothes in the laundry basket. I made up a rewards chart for my little guy – I was tossing up between ‘chore chart’ and ‘reward […]
