Long time readers will know that I’ve got something of a crazy plant lady streak in me that no amount of plant-killing has been able to cure. And now that spring is upon us, I couldn’t help but illustrate the level of plant-ownership I one day aspire to (much to my husband’s dismay haha). Although
Someone please tell me how it’s almost the end of August? That can’t be right. The first cherry blossoms have bloomed in our backyard and the weather’s getting warmer every day… but surely it was the middle of winter only last week?! Clearly I’m in denial about the crazy passing of time (nothing new there).
My, the days just whiz by. I blinked and somehow nearly a whole month has passed since my last post. There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes lately – Lauren’s started daycare, I’ve found part-time work, and adjusting to these big changes has left little room for creative side projects.

So I’ve been channelling
Having lived with bare walls for the better part of a decade, I’ve become a bit addicted to hunting for wall art. It’s a lot of fun to see a piece and imagine how it might transform the look of my living room (or bedroom, or heck any room really because I’ve got blank walls
At 11.18pm today, my little girl turns one. I truly can’t believe it. As clichéd as it sounds, it feels like only yesterday that I met her for the first time when the midwife placed her on my chest, red and wrinkled and bawling her eyes out. As the weather gets colder, those memories of
Tomorrow Lauren turns 1, can you believe it? I sure can’t – I’m really not ready for my baby girl to be growing up so fast! Nevertheless, planning for her birthday has put me in a party mood, so I decided to make up some printable invitations that you can use at your own kids’
