Long time readers will know that I’m hopeless when it comes to Halloween. I don’t like blood, I don’t like being scared, heck I don’t even like the colour orange. I suppose it’s no surprise then that this month’s wallpaper is cute and rainbow-coloured. But it’s got a halloween theme so I score some points
The weather’s been completely miserable over the last couple of weeks, which has been hard because Lauren’s finally getting to the stage where she wants to move, explore and be outdoors. (I say ‘finally’ because we’ve had some delays with Lauren’s gross motor skills, which up until now has limited what she can do outside.
Sometimes, the best ideas come from nature. And other times, the best ideas come when your creative pals are inspired by nature! These friendly flowers came about after Rachel from The Crafted Life posted a super happy daisy pic on Instagram. Her shot was so cheerful that just had to draw some daisies of my
It rained buckets last week when I was sketching these flowers. Which would usually cause me to rebel and draw something summery in defiance of the weather. (long time readers will know that this is the time each year when I start busting out palm leaves and flamingoes like a crazy person to combat the
It was Lauren’s 2nd birthday on the weekend, so I drew a cake and shared it on Instagram to celebrate. And after receiving a few requests to turn it into a desktop wallpaper, I’m happy to say here it is in all it’s sugary glory! Side note: we also did other things to celebrate besides
This year marks my second as a mum, and while I feel much more comfortable in the role nowadays than I used to, it’s still the steepest learning curve I’ve ever been on. Each day is different; in fact, every 10 minutes is different, and while choosing this journey is the best thing I’ve ever
Even though it’s nearly winter here and the leaves have fallen from the trees, May still brings to mind flowers. Maybe it’s because Mother’s Day is around the corner? Or perhaps I’ve listened to one too many nursery rhymes about maypoles and posies (thanks Lauren). Either way I’ve had flowers on the brain big time,
With the temps having been so warm last month, I kind of forgot it was supposed to be autumn. And then BAM – this week the weather turned, and suddenly it really feels like April. For the record, chilly, wet and windy days are not usually my favourite. But it’s nice to finally be heading
Guess what? As you read this, we’ll be boarding a plane to Bali for our very first overseas trip as a family of three! I’m SO excited. Travelling with Lauren is something I’ve been wanting to do ever since she was born because there’s something truly magical about showing children new places. Especially a kid
I don’t know if I can blame mum-brain for this (surely I’m allowed to use that as an excuse for everything?) but I’ve been busily working away for MONTHS to add new phone cases to my Gocase store and I completely forgot to tell you guys about them! Which is a shame because having a
I drew this month’s heart-themed wallpaper not just because it’s almost Valentine’s Day (yay, another excuse to eat chocolate!), but also because it seems that the world could use a bit of extra TLC these days. Having these hearts on my screen is a gentle reminder that it doesn’t cost me anything to be kind,
“I know things have been very quiet around here lately” I feel like every post I’ve written over the past year seems to start with this sentence, so I thought it was high time I wrote an explanation as to where things are at, why I’ve been so silent and what that means for Make
