I Love Pink Shoes

I find it difficult to keep Poppy out of my robe, and today I found her with all my pink shoes pulled off the shelf (maybe to match her top!)  At least she has a good eye for co-ordinating colours already!  x

Stuck On You

I have ventured into the world of sticky labels for Poppy’s ‘plastic items’ that go to day care with her.  There are two other “Poppy’s” at her childcare centre – so important not to get the container’s mixed up!! The choices were endless and for this very indecisive Libran, it took me longer than I care

Swanny

My dear friend Anja dropped this around for Poppy to ‘swan’ around in!

Back to Reality :(

I don’t have a smiley, happy photo to share with you today as this week has seen some massive changes in our house-hold.  I have started back at work for three days a week! The reality of this change struck when I dropped Poppy off at child care on Monday morning, and realised it wasn’t

Swim Star

I have been taking Poppy to swimming lessons for the past seven weeks, and on Wednesday she was presented with her Swim Star Certificate!  It has been an interesting journey – from the very first lesson when she cried most of the time, to now where she is happily kicking, splashing and dipping her head

Mountain Girls

On Monday afternoon, Poppy and I went up to the mountain (Mt Wellington) for a walk with Eve and Flynn (and Maisy).  We walked out to Sphinx Rock and it was the first time Flynn and Poppy had been in the backpacks.  It was a very successful maiden voyage – both seemed very content hitching
