Eye spy.... A morning ritual

I confess there is no morning ritual at our place.
We all sleep together, we all get up at different times, some mornings the following happens:
*we cry because we woke up all wrong
*we play in bed until we need to go to the toilet
*we sneak out of bed and let others stay sleeping (my favourite!)
*we have milo in sipper cups
*we watch a movie in the lounge room (or in bed if daddy hasn't taken his laptop away...)
*we eagerly wait for daddy to come inside from the studio to give us morning kisses and cuddles
*we jump into the shower and wake up

Who can tell what we will do tomorrow morning?
Perhaps THIS is our 'ritual'... to wake up and embrace a new day in a different way!
Well, what do you know.



Thank you 3 Red Buttons for this weeks theme.
Head on over to Bug And Pop's for more morning rituals..... hopefully they'll all have some!

Snailblazer Swap package arrived today!!!

Feeling a bit low today and this really cheered me up......
About a month or so ago I signed up to participate in the mega hand made swap that is the Snailblazer Swap. I had to make 10 of the same item, send them off to Cass from Snailblazer. I'd be put into a group with 10 other people doing the same thing and therefore get 10 different items back! Very exciting stuff!!

Want a stylish but playful nappy hold all?

Poss Bloss have you covered!
We've got a few new nappy wallet styles in at bpab. A bit more elegant, but funky for the more fashion conscious bottom cleaner (was going to say 'mummy', but everyone gets to change the nappies these days don't they??).
Not only for nappies, but great for swimming togs, organising bag contents or holding make up and jewelery for those quick (non-frequent) get-a-ways!
Hand made in the Dandenongs (Vic) by one clever mumma.

Oh yeah, we've also got the popular Poss Bloss red spot apron back in stock too! Time to make some mess...
