Hair advice PLEASE...

Hi everyone, I'm going to the hairdresser tomorrow and I need a bit of help please...

I'm considering toning down the blonde and going more of an auburn shade. 

Basically because I'm sick of the blonde growing out and my natural shade is more of an auburn now so I'm think that with Baby B soon to arrive it will be more low maintainance. 

But I've been blonde for EVER and I'm worried I will feel a bit 'not myself'.

Amy Adams has auburn hair, light skin and blue eyes like me, her eyebrows are also quite light like mine... what do you think?

Or I could keep a bit of the blonde on top like Jen has - she has quite dark eye brows and skin though.

This chick has similar tones to me and her hair is more of a proper red/orange tone - too different???

Ok, here is a very unglam pic of me so you can see where I'm coming from:

Note the regrowth

The auburn underneath

So I'd love some advice - stick to the same or try the auburn, with or without some blonde on top???

Thank you lovely ladies!!!

Nudists seem less crazy...

This poster makes me laugh and totally resonates with me lately.

You see, Will is toilet training so his itsy bitsy teeny weeny undies, daycare sheets, lots of trousers and shorts are constantly being washed.

But if I think I'm busy washing now, I don't want to think about the washing load when Baby B arrives! :) When are they going to create robot housekeepers like Rosie on The Jetsons?

Anyone else considering a nudist colony? :) Hehehe

I'm dreaming of a home office...

Now that the study/home office is Will's new bedroom (pics to come, I promise!) I have been dreaming about a dedicated home office space. 

Check out these beauties...

Ooo laa laaaa! Tres Chic No? Love those floors and profile on the drawers and that wall colour is gorgeous against the white skirting isn't it.

I bit more relaxed but still using those gorgeous built in units and look at the wonderful light coming through! And I think that's the biggest pin board I've ever seen.

 Image Source

Really cozy, love the red and white. I think I'd like a sofa in my dream home office as I like lounging around on my laptop rather than sitting in a chair all the time.

  Image Source

Love the layout with the Ikea unit behind the desk and the floating shelves on the side. And just give me that gorgeous chair and I'll be happy :)

  Image Source

A double desk space is really practical and I think that's something I'd do. This one looks like a practical space - everything is at arms reach.

  Image Source

But I think this is my ABSOLUTE favourite! Double desks, the arm chairs behind, the black frames, the old fashioned lamps.... LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Gotta love white and symetry...

I like the simplicity of the floating shelves, the colours and style are very 'me' but I think I'd need more storage under the desk.

So what do you think? Are you inspired too? Could any of these be your study/home office???

Have a great Friday,

Sneak Peek of Will's new room

It's coming together now and nearly ready for him to move into his new 'big boy' room! Hopefully he'll have his first sleep in his new room tomorrow night then I'll share the finished photos.

But here is a little sneak peek in the meantime...

 

 

 

 

Have a lovely Friday,

Bump update - 26wks

Good Morning! I thought I'd do a little bump update - I'm now 26weeks!

 

So here is me today... the weather is crazy and I never know if it's going to be hot or cold so I've gone for layers :)

The outfit isn't a maternity one at all...

 The navy and white stripe jersey dress is a super cheapy from SES and was about $8 or something crazy like that!

The navy top is from Seed and is very soft and cozy.

And navy/denim ballet flats from Walnut Melbourne.

All very comfortable which is the key at the moment ;) hehehehe.

We have nearly finished getting Will's new big boy bedroom ready, just waiting for the mattress and to put a few more things up. I'll show you when it's ready!

Have a great day everyone!

Best of Berry: Lisa Madigan store

While we were away down the coast we did our usual visit to Berry.

And I discovered a gorgeous new shop called Lisa Madigan. It's in a cute old house on Albert Street and just oozes loveliness. Take a look...

Lots of beautiful bits and pieces and set in such a tranquil atmosphere. I particularly liked the screen printed gift tags and all the ceramic creations, especially the egg shaped lanterns.

 And the good news is that if you can't make it to Berry, NSW then you can shop online! 

Check out www.lisamadigan.com.au

Lots of treasures to discover so make sure you take a peek.

Have you stumbled across any gems lately???
Have a great day,

Hip Hip Hooray!

This little blog turned TWO yesterday!

Gosh what a journey! 

I remember I had just gotten back from our holiday down the South Coast - which we have just arrived back from again this year. And I decided as a bit of a New Years resolution to start a blog after loving and following so many anonymously.

Little did I know that blogging would open up so many friendships, so much support and also just the joy of documenting all the ups and downs in life for me to look back on.

Thank you so much for all the comments, support and friendship I've received through my blog over the past two years.

My New Years resolution this year is to dedicate a bit more time to my poor little blog which has been feeling a bit neglected during the second half of last year - due to the joys of the first trimester of pregnancy and being very busy. And I hope to be able to be commenting and visiting on all your blogs again like I used to.

I will announce a giveaway in the next few weeks to celebrate the 2yr milestone!!! So stay tuned!

Have a lovely day and Happy New Year!
