Stay fabulous darling!

Grace turned seven years old this month.

We decided to keep the celebrations small and exclusive with just the family (in light of the current situation happening all around).

It was a toss up between a day at the Perth Zoo or a visit to the Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm. Grace went back and forth on the options for days. Finally she chose the animal farm so she could cuddle some guinea pigs and rabbits.


It was a fantastic day for the whole family!

Her birthday cake request was a unicorn cake
(which I pimped up myself ✌).

Her other seven year old wish was to finally get some bling!
💠
What a sophisticated young lady she's growing into.

These days she's also into Katy Perry and Taylor Swift; Lego Friends; Skipping ropes; Enid Blyton and The Bad Guys Series (by Aaron Blabey). She also loves being my little sous chef, helping with washing, peeling and cutting vegetables, pouring, stirring and mixing ingredients together.

Her mind is tuned a little bit more scientifically, honing in on more practical questions like how things work or exploring things with her senses. She is always eager to try out new experiences and activities. Her favourite questions include "What will happen if.." and "I wonder what it feels/tastes like...".

I sometimes wonder if this insatiable appetite for the new all stemmed from when 7-month old baby Grace discovered that foiled wrapped chocolate on the floor and I found her chomping the whole piece, wrapper and all. Since then, however strange and unusual that new thing looks, try it first... you'll never know!

Her daddy says she's growing a bit too fast lately (I think so too). This is the age when those long giraffe legs start streeeeetching out. Time to go easy on daddy with those piggy back rides.

But no matter how long those giraffe legs stretch...

Stay fabulous always darling!

And so Nathan’s very first day of kindergarten is over. It was a mixture of good, bad, sweet and sour. I think that so much happens throughout the day, it can be challenging for a little person to filter through it all.

These days my days are packed full to the brim. From the moment I wake up to the sound of Grace calling through the baby monitor and Nathan’s cheeky face peering at me over the edge of the bed… to the evening when I finally tuck them into bed and say goodnight.
