Wow, It has almost been 12 months since we moved into our new house and probably just as long since I posted here!

After much soul searching and a return to work I decided it was time to utilize my degree.....so without further ado.............leesa perry photography is here! Yep, I did it, threw myself right there in the deep end. I'm still getting myself organized, but things seem to be coming together quite well, so fingers crossed!

Other big news is that my big boy started Prep---where does the time go! so now its just me and the little one at home, and 3 0'clock comes around all too soon! He is lovin' it, and not a tear was shed on the first day from either one of us. Had he started to cry I would of been right there with him believe me!

Hello there, poor neglected little blog. I have'nt forgotton about you...no really I have'nt! It's just I have been extremely busy moving from this 

to this........

with alot of this to deal with

It is safe to say that I never want to move ever again!

The Party! -success, the cake-not so good. Oh well, I can't be good at everything! :)

The birthday boy had a great time, even though he was sick. What is it with my kids that they always come down with something before a big event! I think he was a bit overwhelmed with all the people, and I was too busy entertaining the older kids and only cuddled him when we blew out the candle on his cake and unwrapped his presents.  He received lots of great gifts which his big brother has broken in already! I'm still recovering - thank goodness they only turn 1 once!

Oh, and the bubble machine was a huge success, I would highly recommend one at your next kids event!

The countdown had begun, and this time last year we were preparing for the arrival of our sweet little Blake.

I can't believe it was a year ago that we welcomed him into our lives. Turning one is so bittersweet. I can't believe my baby has arrived at toddlerhood! He still has cute squishy arms and adorable chubby legs, but that beautiful baby smell has disappeared.  It has been replaced with a cheeky sense of humour (just like his brother!) beautiful smiles and a personality all of his own.

This weekend is the big party. I  decided to go with a blue/green bubble dot theme! I have hired a bubble machine (cool!) and made bunting. Let the baking begin! 

It must be a change in the season, but I think I can feel some inspiration.  Maybe its the onset of Christmas that is stirring my creative juices, or the purchase of some new linen, whatever it is, it's time to dust off the sewing machine and find an activity to engross the kids for longer then 10 minutes!

There is some exciting news that I have neglected to write about, my little 'Lucky the Dog' has been published!

I'm such a proud softie maker! Look at him, right there on the front cover! You can also catch up with him and his softie friends at Softies Central.

Can you also believe that the second littlemunki Master 'B' will be turning one in just over a week! This time last year I was busy preparing the nursery! The birthday preparations have been going full steam ahead, we are having a bubble theme with the colours being a limey green and a deep blue. The invites are made, all I have to do is remember to post them! The goodie bags/boxes have all been labeled and stuffed with gifts, and the party food is all planned. I guess the next step is to think about the cake.....I'm really good at the thinking part, not to good at the rest!

You can always count on kids! - we were at the shops the other week and a man went by in his electric wheelchair, the littlemunki pipes up and remarks in his loudest voice 'that looks like fun Mum!' Ahh the innocence!
