Busy Little Happy Bee

I have been a busy bee lately.

I have been busy baking...

Recipes coming soon!

I have been busy drawing, designing and sewing...

Some experimenting in the kitchen (another recipe that will be here soon!)

I have been out with friends,watched a movie, wined and dined...

One night I jumped into bed to find a giant Dora tucked in waiting for me...

The kiddies have been all over me (as usual)...

And my boy LOVES to climb in the dishwasher every time I open it. His next favourite thing is to push the power button while it's mid-wash. The only button that the child lock does not cover!

But I am a happy little busy bee.

Maybe a little tired, if only there were more hours in the day!

Maybe I need some of these cute little honeycomb bee themed cupcakes to get me through...

How cute are they!

Now I run off, my ten minutes of child-free time is up and they are banging on my door....

Bargain Hunting

I love a good bargain.
When I see sales starting my curiosity gets the better of me.
I don't always buy though, I am terribly practical.
99% of the time....

I got an email last night from one of my favourite clothing stores.
40% off everything sale.
I had to have a look.....


I browsed...


I found the bargains...


$3 dresses, $3 tops...


I thought to myself, should I?


I went to login and realized I had no idea what my password was.
I sent off the 'forgot password' email and remembered I had kept another email from them.
It was a $10 off any order coupon that I received on my birthday for being a member.
Woohoo!


So in the end I snapped up a few bargains...
At a total of (including shipping) $23.97.

I can't wait to get my hands on these!

It's Going To Be A Big Weekend!

It is exciting.

One of our closest friends, whom my husband has known for many, many years, is getting married!

They are such a lovely couple, and great friends.

We love going out on dinner dates, not often enough, but when we do, we always have a great time.

Not long ago I went out for a big day/evening adventure for the lovely bride-to-be's hens party.

I got to meet some of her friends, and catch up with someone I haven't seen for years. It was a fun day.

Of course my hubby went to the bucks party and the boys had a blast!

They went to Jamberoo (water recreation park kinda all round fun place) for the day and did what boys do best, they had so much fun and all ended up with bruises, scrapes and cuts.

That night they went out for dinner and drinks and were picked up in an amazing car.....

A complete surprise for the groom-to-be!

So now, the wedding date has finally arrived.

The weather is horrible, raining and cold.

But that can't dampen our excitement!

I went out shopping for a dress for the occasion and stumbled upon a 50% off dresses sale at Crossroads (it's still on by the way!)

I had seen this before and wanted so desperately to try it on, but the $50 price tag turned me off. The second I saw it marked down, I leapt into the nearest store!

I love it.

I really do.

It's fire engine red, and sexy without showing off a tonne of flesh.

I was even happier when I found some lovely black shoes to match...

For $5!!!

Yippee!

They are so huge, so tall, I am towering up so high, even a little taller than my hubby!

So now, as the excitement builds, all we can do is wait....

Maybe a little pampering, but mostly just waiting!

Shopping Obsession

I love doing window shopping online.

I can't help myself!

My favourite sites?

Old Navy (They have the cutest kids clothes!)

They also have some nice, fun and affordable women's wear too...

But ASOS, have amazingly beautiful women's wear...

Gorgeous!
