Ko-ko-ko Kids

Brrr, it's another wet and wintry weekend in Cape Town but there's a teensy bit of sunshine peeking out from behind the clouds. The Baby is asleep and The Boy and Mr Hello Olive are creating Lego masterpieces while I sneak in a little blog post.

Ko-ko-ko Kids is another Etsy discovery and I am loving their products! The fox plate and cloud cushion are definitely being added to my (rather long) wishlist! You can see more lovely kids' accessories, toys and clothes here.

Have a great weekend :-)

Hello lovelies! Don't you just love this swimsuit by Boodwah? It's totally cheering me up on this rainy, wintry day.

I just thought I'd pop in quickly and say I'm still here, lurking about in cyberspace, and thank you all so much for the sweet comments on my last post. Life since The Baby's arrival has been wonderful but crazy! Juggling two kids is hard work but fortunately I have mastered the art of making sandwiches with one hand :-) The Boy is totally smitten with his wee brother so thankfully we're not dealing with any jealousy.

Things are slowly getting easier so I'm hoping to blog more. In the mean time I'm pinning away here - much simpler to pin with one hand than write a blog post :-)

And then there were four...

For months now I've been planning a 'I'm pregnant!' post but as you can tell by the pic below, I've left it a bit too late :-) Two hours after arriving at the hospital we welcomed The Baby into our lives. I still can't believe he is here! I'll be taking a bit of a break to enjoy my boys but will still try and pop in online every now and then to say hi... Love, Col x

Hello, I hope you all had a fab long weekend! We were treated to typical Easter weather here in Cape Town: grey skies and lots and lots of rain. I really enjoyed pottering about indoors though... The Boy and I baked these chocolate banana muffins, lots of amazing Lego creations were built and way too much junk food was consumed. All in all, a great weekend :-) 

Hope you like my latest pins. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that tea pot. Isn't it a beaut?

And hello new followers. It's lovely to have you here :-) Once The Boy is back at school I'm hoping to have some more time to visit your blogs. But in the meantime, thanks for visiting mine!

Bonjour mademoiselle

I've been indulging in a spot of window shopping at online store Human Empire and have spent far too much time browsing the Poster section! These designs by Blanca Gómez are my favourites. The first one may just will make it onto my birthday wish list :-) See more fab posters here.

Splash!

Hello all! Hope you've all had lovely weekends. Ours was long and lazy - just the way I like it :-) We're making the most of the sunshine over here. The mornings and evenings have turned quite chilly. Duvets have been hauled out of storage, laundered and plonked back on beds. That really signalled the end of summer for me... It seems to have flown!

I haven't been blogging much lately as I've been too busy pinning. I've suddenly become addicted to Pinterest again. You can see all my pins and follow me here if you like.

Hope you have a great week! We're all looking forward to the long weekend and a break from school for The Boy. If the weather holds I'm sure there'll be lots more splashing going on around here :-)

Have you heard about

...Jessica Nielsen? I'm sure you all have - her designs have been popping up all over Pinterest and blogland lately. I couldn't resist reblogging though. I'm just loving her simple yet striking designs. They're making me very happy on this extremely hot day and energy sapping day. Thank goodness The Boy is having a nap this afternoon (sadly they're happening less and less these days). I certainly am not feeling up to playing Sea Monster, a game which basically involves me chasing him around the garden with a picnic blanket draped over my head :-)

You can see more of Jessica's designs here.
