Busy Bee That's Me!

A fabulous birthday dinner with 22 of your besties on Valentine's Day is always going to be a great night, so we more than happily assisted our friend in celebrating his 38th birthday at a scrummy Greek restaurant in Brunswick St, Saturday night. My jetlagged husband claimed our mutual friend of 10 years was his Best Buddy, so I was DD whilst he enjoyed copious amounts of great white + red wines, many of which were supplied by the birthday boy and many, many more by O who works for a very well know winery. (Great friend to have!!!) The conversations flowed just as fast as the wine hit the back of folks' throats whilst we were serenaded by a hilarious guitarist for a good while (all ladies with blonde hair were his faves). Delicious food + great company = a brilliant night. Thank goodness I didn't drink because next morning I had to assume the role of Soccer Mom and take Jack to his 9am class - jetlagged/hungover husband just couldn't make it! Isla was left to her own devices for a while before she climbed into bed with Daddy + had another 2 hours sleep - alright for some, huh?
The rest of the day I spent photoshopping a tonne of product images for an online baby shop. Right up until bedtime at 1am! Ouch, long day. Followed by another one today. My better half left at 5am for an early flight, I started my swimming classes, did kinder + school pick up, squeezed in some more editing, night time swimming presentation and just time for a quick glass of wine before I collapse into bed. Night night, zzzzzzzzzzz

Lazy Weekend

This is my first blog and a very warm welcome to anyone that happens upon it!
I'm a mum of 2 gorgeously vibrant children. Jack is 5, sporty, imaginative, and a caring wee fella who started his 1st day of school this month. Isla, 3 has a strong personality, in a wee fairy dancing world of her own who raced into kinder!
They keep me busy as I try to transform into Supermama! I hope to start up a photography business. I have a couple of clients who give me products to shoot for their online websites.
I have also recently passed my AustSwim Teacher of Swimming + Water Safety exam and am about to commence my personal development hours required to begin teaching young children how to stay safe whilst in the water.
Busy times ahead in our household. My husband has a full on job with lots of interstate and overseas travel, so a lot of the time things are put on hold. He did make my morning this morning though. After returning from a business trip in Singapore around 9am, he appeared with a lovely fragrant bunch of flowers and proceeded to make my favourite poached eggs on turkish bread! He is now snoring his head off in bed! How romantic, huh???
Think I'll go wake him - kids need to run off some steam at the park.
Bye for now,
