#37 One Of Those Days

Today I feel like this.

Which seems to be making Master C feel like that too.

Which makes me feel guilty.

Which makes me feel even more like this...

Oh my.
So cute.
If I ever have a daughter, I will give her a typewriter.

#34 Q&A

I know it's not that long since I posted a video but really, it's not my fault.
I just couldn't resist sharing this one too!
Watch it & you'll understand I'm sure.
So funny but also so sweet & so moving...

#33 What? Wood Again?

Clearly I love wooden toys.

There is really no point in denying that.

But seriously... Can you blame me?

#32 A Fathers Journey

A photographic series by Phillip Toledano was mentioned quite a lot in my web travels today, eventually curiosity won out over the laziness that was preventing me from tracking it down & I did...
Rather than tell you how you really should read it & why, I will provide you with said link & let you get on with it!

#29 Little Red Dream

As a child, I guess I had what most would consider 'boyish' tastes.

I loved playing with lego, digging holes to hide out in (weird?), looking for old bottles & cans etc left by miners in the gold rush, getting purposefully lost in the state forest behind our house just so I could try & figure out how to get home - luckily those activities always ended well & I avoided any bottom of a mine shaft incidents!

I loved catching frogs & yabbies (sans net) in the pond out the back of our house more than anything else in the world, & I loved matchbox cars.

I had two favourite cars.

The first was a black english taxi cab, on which the doors opened backwards.

The second, was a little red treasure, which now belongs to Master C.

#28 Babushka Babushka Babushka (yah yaaah)

I saw these online a while ago & promptly forgot about them until seeing them in a store last week...

Uh hello, cute much?!

They're made from some fancy very strong glass (oh I'm so knowledgeable, clearly! It's called borosilicate glass) so I'd be brave enough to let my little one use them.
Another plus, dishwasher safe.
They also, as you can see in the picture, stack inside each other like real babushka dolls, so are very handy for those tight on kitchen storage space.
Whether that be because there isn't much of it or because you have no self control when it comes homewares... *cough cough*
What do you think? Convinced myself?

You can have more than one mobile right? Like maybe, a whole ceiling full?

#25 Movie Monday (take three)

The sweetest song, the sweetest dance too! It has to be in at least the top 5 highlights of children's films?

Master C watched a movie for the first time a couple of weekends ago, it's the first time he's had the attention span to sit through one, although he was a bit sick too so that very likely had something to do with it...

So he watched "Babe" which is a super cute movie, & even though all the American accents might lead you to believe otherwise, is actually an Australian movie.
He was very impressed!



Bless.

#22 Movie Monday (take two)

Hang on... a week? It's been a week since my last post???

How did that happen?!

Oops...

This is a fairly popular clip but it's just so cute I can't resist!

#21 Movie Monday Begins!

So I think I might start doing this every morning?

Affirmations all the way!

#20 Shoesational

Argh! CUTE!!!

What a clever idea right? They just loop in with the laces, so outgrowing shoes needn't mean they outgrow their wings either!

When I saw these in an Etsy article I got very excited, but then I steeled myself to look at the price... believe me when I say I was VERY pleasantly suprised.

At that price, I'm going to get a pair in every colour. hehe

Just as soon as they are back in stock anyhow... Clearly I'm not the only one loving them!

I'll most definitely be checking back regularly. Master C will think they are awesome.

#18 Dreaming with Pretty Dreamer

I'm having such a day of super finds today!

My wish list is getting completely out of control.

Lottery anyone?

Thankfully, Pretty Dreamer is exceptionally kind to the bank balance as well as being exceptionally easy on the eye!

We should start whispering now so that my credit card doesn't hear me coming...

via pretty dreamer

Sweet little unsuspecting toaster you are mine!

And the boat & serpent...

And the woodcutters axe...

How clever is that stacker of teething rings? Versatile much.

And the birds are teethers too but it's no stretch of the imagination to see that they would be played with long past babyhood.

Dear Pretty Dreamer, how I love thee!

#17 Apple Accessories

I don't know a child who wouldn't love one of these in their lunch box.

How cute are they?!

I would have loved one. Wait, what do I mean would have? hehe

Perhaps I could get a little cosy for every apple in my fruit bowl? Wouldn't want my mandarins to feel left out though... hehe!

via deuce goods

The 1st & 3rd are my favourites.

That little button crossover detail is just adorable.

What makes these even sweeter? The price is nice!

I'll be getting one for sure. I mean, um, Master C will be...
