Baby Bird

Today has been a busy one! I woke up at about 7.30 because JA is still sick and as soon as he gets out of bed I wake up. His flu has morphed into a tummy bug, poor thing. I was going to post today about the party (which was fab), and I haven’t posted [...]

Bloggers ♥ Favourite Friday Five

I’ve been wandering the intarwebs and have stumbled across some mighty fine blogs lately! The kind of blogs that draw me in are usually people who have passion and can tell a story (it’s not quite Friday yet but I’m not sure I’ll get time to post tomorrow, so we’ll just have to pretend I’m from the future)…

My top 5 blogs for this week are:

#1. Kim Vallée – this woman has some amazing links! I’ve been going there a lot recently because she has so much stuff for Halloween (with my Halloween Party coming up)

#2. Design*Sponge – Vast collection of crafty eye candy, withlots of lovely DIY projects

#3. The Shabby Nest – Wendy does a great job of interior decorating on a budget, and doing it right (Shabby Chic not Crappy Cheap). Look at this innovative use of space: A Mini Mud Room

#4. Making it Lovely – Nicole Balch has a really well designed site, it’s just nice to look at! She also details her home renovation / decoration projects, which I love reading about!

#5. Caity.nu – my parrallel universe buddy, we are both teachers, same age, both cut our hair the other week.. haha. Caity is cute and lovely, and newly Vegan (for health reasons! love it)

My own little floriade

A little while ago I posted about planting bulbs in my garden and watching them grow, and the other day I went out and took a few more snaps of the blooms, as they are really coming out now! Unfortunately the dogs have been getting in and stomping all over everything, so I had to [...]
