"Messy play is one of the great joys of early childhood" ~ Cathy Sheppard Towards the end of last year Sebastian and I were asked to review the book 'Recipes for Messy Play' by the ladies at Kiwi Mummy Blogs. I knew it would be something Sebastian would love, at fifteen months he is at the age and stage where he loves experimenting with things and 'messy play' is one of the BEST ways to learn. Messy play is so many things - fun, dirty, relaxing and creative. It is the freedom to … [Read more...]

Birth Keepsake Wall Art
Last month I shared one of my favourite rooms in our home - Sebastian's Nursery. One of the reasons I love his room so much is it's filled with lots of treasures and is created with only him in mind.

Christmas this year was extra special, because even though you still don't understand you were able to enjoy it. You loved the lights and colours. … [Read more...]
Sebastian’s Nursery
I love having a look at how people choose to style their home; which pieces they pick to go where; how much or how little they add to the space; what colour palate the decide to go with. I feel it gives you a truer sense of who they really are, you can really see their personality shine through. Sebastian's nursery is one of my most favourite rooms in our house. It is a constant reminder of how precious time really is, as I know all too soon we will be changing his room to a 'big boy' toddler … [Read more...]
