Point & Shoot 29-11-2010

Weekends go by too fast! Our weekend was spent mainly indoors due to non stop rain! Sunday morning though we managed to get out early in the morning to our local markets ( no rain while we were there thank heavens!) we bought Jesse his first fishing rod, he was so excited & cant wait to test out his new rod =) 

My point & shoot this week is little Miss Aaliyah waking me up saturday morning with this gorgeous face...

She's so precious, loves cuddles with mummy early in the morning. And lucky for me I had my camera sitting on the bedside table. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Join in the Point & Shoot fun over at FatMumSlim =)

Couple more shots from the weekend...

Point & Shoot 22-11-2010

What a superb weekend my gorgeous family & I had! Picnics, playtime at the park and a scenic drive to the lake. My Point & Shoot  picture was from the weekend after a play at the park, a cute shadow family pic.

My princess.

The next best thing.

I've been searching high and low for a maxi dress. For me its hard, no bust and skinny as a rake, it's hard to find a flattering maxi dress or any dress for that matter. Until stumbled across this long skirt! Its so comfy to wear and it makes me look bigger than I actually am (which i LOVE) I bought this little bargain at Tempt for a whopping $14.95! Hopefully I will be able to find a few more gorgeous flowy skirts like this one =)

Thursdays Polly Dolly Challenge this week is:

Jumpsuits

The days are getting warmer, so perfect weather to wear a gorgeous little jumpsuit like this one above. My dolly would wear this outfit for a relaxing day at the beach or cafe. I especially love the little beach bag so cute! Got my trashy gossip magazine to keep my dolly occupied whilst relaxing by the water. And forget the all important sunscreen to ward off yukky sunburn.

Pop over to Danimeza to check out not only her cute little outfit but other Polly Dolly lovers too!

My first storyboard.

Been playing around with Photoshop Elements tonight.

For the first time I made my own storyboard template!! 

Just a simple 3 pic white border one. 

Added some cute pics of my daughter, she was bout 10 months old here.

Just a little proud of my first attempt at a template!

Playing Around.

Got a little bored this arvo while the kids were happily playing tea parties together, so I decided to play around with the design of my blog. Not happy still so there will be more changes and different look, but for now I gotta go cook dinner!

Stay tuned for my new "look".

Thursdays Polly Dolly Challenge this week over at the wonderful/creative Danimezza is all about 

asymmetrical 

 I decided to do a red theme seeing how today is Remembrance Day and inspiration from the gorgeous poppy flower. Not sure if the heels would necessarily go with the dress but they are too gorgeous not to give it a go. Top off the look with some fanger eyelashes and nude lips. Red nail polish for the toes and fingernails, nothing sexier than manicured nails with a fiery red colour! Lastly that clutch, oh that clutch! I want one for myself! $95 for a clutch... hmm maybe one day I'd splurge and buy myself this gorgeous must have accessory.

On another note......

Well I have been MIA for the past week. I have been busy with Tafe and motherly duties and to be honest haven't been very enthusiastic about blogging. I'm pretty sure readers don't want to read about my depressing moments lately, hence why I've been so quiet. But things are looking up, I'm feeling positively content and have some new ideas about what to write each week! There's plenty of mum blogs out there that share photos, recipes and what not and I'll be following close behind. Why not share what I love doing. Photography, cooking and being a Mum! ( Not necessarily in that order!) So bare with me as I get my mojo back and start blogging more. =)

Polly Dolly challenge this week is all about the beautiful bump.

Ive chosen a casual look, I hated dressing up while pregnant because when your belly is a bit bigger and your already feeling uncomfortable you dont want to be wearing something you dont feel good and relaxed in. I was lucky enough to be able to wear all my jeans still right up to the day I gave birth thanks to pants extenders! I thought the flowery top was just gorgeous and beautiful top for spring. The flowy cardi is perfect for when its cool and looks so comphy! Bio-oil to ward off the dreaded stretchmarks. The baby car seat I thought was absolutely adorable! Would of loved to have something like that for my babies. So many nice baby products out now that werent out when I was pregnant, makes me very clucky. I miss being pregnant even more doing this challenge looking at all the cute clothes I could wear!

5 years!

Today is my sons 5th birthday. I cannot believe how quick these past 5 years have flown by, his 1st birthday is still fresh in my mind like it only happened yesterday. Ive been feeling quiet emotional today, trying not to cry. I know that probably sounds a bit overboard but just the fact he is no longer my baby boy gives me a lump in my throat & teary eyes. The day I gave birth to Jesse was the best day of my life. I felt my life really started that day, he has brought so much joy & love into my life. Today Mr J went off to Pre-school and I went back in to give all the kids cupcakes I baked the night before so everyone could sing Happy Birthday to Jesse. He loved it and so did all his kinder friends =) Now he's busy playing with all his new pressies & I have a chocolate cake baking in the oven! Here is a little poem I wrote to Jesse in his birthday card... 

My baby, my son, my precious prince
Came into this world 5 years ago and loved ever since
A smile so big with such happiness and joy
The pride I have, to have such a good little boy.
To love someone so much, I never knew I could
The things I do for you, for no one else I would
I wish I could be with you every second of the day
but I can't be selfish, things just can't go my way
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath & embraced my heart.

Happy 5^th Birthday my sweet little boy

Hope your day is filled with lots of fun & joy.

Love Always Mummy, Daddy & Aaliyah xoxo
