10 things...

 

Spring was here and then it was gone in the blink of an eye. Does anyone else feel that the last three months just whizzed by?

Here's a few of my favourite parts of spring this year...

* evening walks along the river and beach, even if the water is still a little chilly
* our school's spring fair - event of the year for our little ones!
* watching Sadie make her spring crown at the fair, crown making is serious business
* Lola's excitement over finding Gnome's gold at the fair - magic!
* our little ones proudly arranging their spring fair treasures in their playroom
* a spring clean and purge around the house
* days spent in the sunshine working on stock - I'm extremely grateful to be able to do what I love from home
* watching our tiny dancer perform for customers at our favourite cafe!
* a change in our menu - lighter and raw foods with a sneaky rum on the side!
* bike riding adventures with our little ones, it's so nice to be able to all ride together now.

Did you have a lovely Spring? Or Autumn, depending on where you are? xx

things i'm loving

It's the spring school holidays and lately I've been loving...

* sunny spring days watching our smalls build mud cities

* eating from our winter harvest

* making daisy chains and silly faces

* The Whole Pantry app - these vanilla almond choc-chip cookies have been a favourite this school holidays!

* quiet afternoon crafting

* a bigger and more organised work space

We have just 3 more sleeps until the school holidays are over. No more sleep-ins and back into routine. I'm terrible without routine so this is good! I have enjoyed the break with our little ones and I'll miss Lola when she's back at school!

happy spring

It's officially Spring, hooray! What an exciting time of year it is. Blossoms, butterflies, baby lambs. Oh my. It really is a dreamy time of year!

Spring kicked off with a super warm day.... unseasonably warm but who could complain?!

As if the first day of Spring wasn't exciting enough, father's day was thrown into the mix too! In our house, with two little girls, the excitement was pretty nuts.

A morning of gift giving, bacon and eggs, singing and dancing to records. We marked Spring by planting some sunflower seeds in the garden.

We made our Spring nature table together and arranged it in Lola and Sadie's bedroom. They're super proud of their little arrangement!

 It was the perfect day to pop on a vintage frock and bake a pie while the little ones ran around nude in the sunshine trying the catch butterflies and making mud pies.

A playful bath, a fresh dress and we all set off to my parents for a Sunday roast. There was a sunset adventure spying cherry blossoms, roses and horses before we filled our bellies and settled in for some family time.

How was your weekend? Did you celebrate Spring, Autumn or Father's Day? xx
