Colour My World

{Colour Explosion}


Well this project surely brought out the child in me. It was so much fun to do and super easy. Again it caught my eye on Pinterest with all the gorgeous colours. I did mine on a slightly smaller scale but still had the same colorful effect. I used 53 crayons all together but I did double up on my favorite colours. All you need is:

~ Canvas Boards
~ Hair Dryer
~ Enough crayons for your board
~ Hot Glue gun to glue yours crayons on
~ A hair dryer

Lachlan loved looking at all the colours too. Here are some pictures:





I needed an extra hand here..Thank you to my ever so patient husband (There is only so many crazy ideas he can handle) 

*SQUEAL* I LOVE all these colours...


So this is proudly hanging on the wall like one of my children's artworks would haha.
Cant wait for my next project now xx

Bath Time Fun

{Shaving Cream~ Bath Tub Fun}

Again I was on "Pinterest" and I found this really cool idea. My boys have never had so much fun at bath time. Trust me this was a VERY messy occasion. But im sure these are the best times. Lachlan enjoyed painting pictures and mixing colours and Xavier enjoyed using the paint brush, painting his brother and sticking his hands into the shaving cream.

The Palette: I used a muffin tin with shaving cream squirted into it and a small amount of food colouring in it.

 Paint Brushes: The idea I saw on "Pinterest" was to use thick brushes. I didnt have any of these so I had to use thinner brushes.
 
The Easel: Our bath of course !!

Artists: My clever, artistic boys :)


(Excuse the quality of the photos they were taken on my phone..ALOT of supervision was needed for this task so I couldn't use my big camera)




Much more fun with my hands

My brother painted me instead of the bath

Lovely Lunch

{What's for lunch Mum}


Hello...


It's been a while since I last blogged but boy have things been busy around here. This is a brief look at what I have been up to in the last few weeks.


1. A poor little man with very sore gums

2. Planning a "Ninja Party" for a very special soon to be 6 year old

3. Designing my new business logo

4. Putting together "client welcome packs"...I have another wedding booked (YAY!!)

5. Catching up with friends and family

and most of all spending time with the most important people in my life...my boys 




Something else I have been working on is creating beautiful food for my boys and presenting in a fun way so they enjoy eating it, whilst still eating all the healthy stuff too.
I still vividly remember my school lunches. My mum put so much effort into it and it's not until I have had my own children that I realised how lucky I was, mind you at the time I thought I was deprived because i didn't get to have packets of chips or roll ups like the other kids.
I guess I knew I was on the right track with Lachlan when he said to me
"I have the BEST lunches ever"...
I also find the mornings can be a bit hectic for us so I try to have it organized the night before and I freeze his wraps/croissants/cheese and bacon rolls so I don't have to make them of a morning.


Here is a peak at what Mr L. has for his lunches.






Some how all of that is packed into his little top gear case and off he goes. At school they always have a separate piece of fruit and they have that for "fruit snack" at school at about 10am. He loves his tinned pears and mandarins at the moment.


Will be back later to show you all my new business logo.
