It's been forever since I have done a quick snapshot share of what's happening at home...
I like to have the record - nice to look back on
We have been on a really strict budget for a LONG time with the rule of NO non compulsory buying ( though Richards and my version of compulsory does vary LOL) and so I was very self indulgent this weekend with three buys - My copy of Exhibition 36 a paper version of Molie Makes -it's so so fabulous I love it and some new shoes Mollie makes - eeek crazy cover price of $15.95 Ill be switching to digi but more on that later . Sadly I think that's the end of the splurging and it's back to budget again.
This is my lounge room right now - yes the Easter decorations are still up. I must take them down but the tree looks pretty. I have a new idea for it for the girls party coming up for their confirmation but I may not have the time to execute it - we will see.
By my bed is this book - its been on my read list since Christmas when I nabbed it in the throw out bin at Borders for $5 - So this weekend I got started - really enjoying it so far and was very tempted to spend some time on the couch this afternoon with it but resisted - just.
Instead the girls talked me into a Uno flash marathon. This truly is the best game - if you love uno you'll love uno flash - it makes your turns random - you only need two to play but three is better :) For the record I won three games Sof won two and Talia won two with a new record of Talia having to pick up 12 cards at once when we all had Pick up 4 cards :) She was not happy -and needless to say she didn't win that game.
We were excited to see this little compendium in along with the Sunday Mail this week - I think you have to collect coupons and then pay $2 a week for the rest of the little books - we are totally into this sort of thing in our house :)
I am clueless as to what is going on here - but it's happening in a few corners of the house - and we had to get some balloons and straws with the grocery shopping to make it happen - some sort of science experiment around rockets apparently.
My new shoes - from Novo - aren't they so lovely? I tend to be a one pair of shoes girl for work - at the moment they are black boots - but I have a lovely navy spotty dress with a red belt and red cardigan and I really wanted some red shoes to go with it - I have been looking for ages and then today I spied these. They weren't on special - I was really hesitant about that - I don't think I have paid full price for clothes or shoes in a long long long time.
We visited spotlight today to see what ideas we could gather for the girls communion party in a few weeks time - we settled on some balloons and these little table weights. The were having some awesome specials I was very keen to get some cute as owl fabric but I didn't.
Yesterday we went to Jill's for a special photo shoot for a new project I have coming up - and she surprised me with not one but two beautiful beautiful hand crafted pieces of jewelery - Totally my style she knows me too well. I was so surprised and touched. She will no doubt be horrified by my dodgy photo - but they are so so pretty I can't wait to wear them.
Jilly's Jonah introduced my girls to Moshi monsters - well apparently they already knew about them and had been bugging me for ever to get one but I hadn't been listening - who knew? So yesterday we made two new accounts and they both have a little monster. Super cute - I am yet to cave into the membership which is $6.95 a month I am told - how do they know all this stuff? I'm waiting to see how hooked they get before I make the commitment. Oh and yes you guessed it I am the meanest Mumma in the whole world again.
So that's our home - how is yours?? Don't you just love my new shoes ? sigh In my next life I will wear a different pair of shoes every day of the week.
Happy Sunday Night
