charlie's 8 month portrait

little happy harper charlie. all smiles. especially when mirka is around. there is no better sound in the world than hearing your babies laughing together. the last month has been another big one for charlie. he can now confidently sit up on his own & has even started to crawl. we've tried lots more fruits & vegies and amazingly, he eats anything. anything. so refreshing after our little darling mirka would only eat yoghurt for months, with or without various pureed fruit hidden underneath. anyways, charlie has also started making a lot more sounds. lots of gurgly da-da-da, bub-bub-bub, ma-ma-ma-ma, la-la-la-la.. you get the picture. oh and would you look at that. charlie is dressed in red white & blue, ready for the big royal wedding. not an accident.

happy easter!

happy easter! i hope you're enjoying some time off in the sunshine, just to do sweet nothing like we are. mess, mayhem, tiredness, laughter, love & chocolate pretty much sums up our easter. oh and hot cross buns. how could i forget the "hot buns" as mirka calls them. funny.

p.s. i bought the little 'blossom bag' easter basket from polkadot lane on madeit here. i love the bright yellow scalloped edge. if  that doesn't say happy easter, i don't know what does.

happy feet

that should read very happy feet. i've had these boniko socks on all day & the sewn in toe is so awesome! i'm sitting here like a total dork wearing socks & thongs, but that's nothing new. at least now it's super cosy & comfortable. i bought these from the finders keepers market before xmas, but i've only just snapped them open today. why oh why did i wait so long? my feet have never been so happy. get yourself some here.

slacker

i've been a little quiet around here. rest assured, i've been doing very important stuff like cafe-ing, just not blogging. lots of ideas. none of them photographed. the husband called me a slacker the other day, to which i took quite the offence, but maybe i am. anyways, if you feel like some relaxing, refreshing, slacker time yourself, then i highly recommend hausfrau in yarraville. 

helvetica kids tees

i had some time to kill last sunday because of a mix up over what the time really was due to daylight savings. for once it wasn't me, but whatevs, i still had the luxury of having my hair cut & coloured and i got in some real life shopping. i don't know about you, but i have a love/ are-they-for-real?? relationship with american apparel. i mean, how many people can seriously pull off a shiny purple stretch lycra jumpsuit? but that said, i do love their simple kids range, not to mention the t-shirts they stock with mirka's favourite monster on them. so there i was trying to decide on which grover t-shirt was the best, when i spotted the kids version of the helvetica alphabet t-shirts that i first fell for back here. cc for charlie chumba-wumba & mm for mirka muppet. done.
