Two very cool people and a water tank photo

There are numerous things I learn from people around me.  My friends, family, random people I come across.....they teach me about life (good and bad), parenting, friendship, existing, etc.  Blogging has become a whole other community for me and it has taught me SO MUCH.  I started this blog really because the Mr isn't really into d&m (deep and meaningful) conversation and  a chance to work on my photography (cause he was getting a bit sick of that too!) but it has taught me a MASSIVE amount of things.  I now try a huge amount of food, cooking, drinks that I otherwise would not have known about, I learnt about Montessori schools thus Miss almost 4 goes to one, crafting, photography, art, politics, etc.  It still amazes me what you all teach me everyday. 

What I'm getting at is I have more links.....see your excited about that aren't you........

A little bit of lana  Is a blog by an Aussie mum who started this wonderful company called Aromaplay which has non- toxic, gluten free, wonderfully natural play dough. Which the madam is getting for Christmas. She also has children with food sensitivities and is a passionate advocate for awareness of food issues with kids and is a wellness warrior.  Lana is one inspiring lady, I came across her via a face book friend, so if you have a second please jump over and check her out.

Taurus Rising is Kelly's blog.  I can't remember what her day job is - I think it is quite fancy with lots of big words - but she is the ultimate in green.  I think Kelly was actually the first person to ever follow my blog (and I will always be grateful !)so I have read about her for a long time.  She has three kids and wonderful husband and she can use every single part of everything for something! What she does with a duck is incredible.  She also has a business called the ethicurean which is reusable and recycled fruit & veg bags.  They are brilliant - I actually have a tote bag and a veg bag and the tote is used for most of my shopping (I live in a market/co - op kinda town) and actually doubles as a brilliant handbag - especially when you carry enough stuff around to survive a nuclear attack like I do.

These are just two of the great Aussie mums I have come across whilst blogging and there are so many more out there - if you get a chance have a click over and see what they are about.  I would love to hear what discoveries, inspiring people, interesting things you have all found in the blogosphere......

*Neither of these people asked me to write this nor even know about the post yet so it is not a paid advertisement*

Sunday love links

Well I have actually woke up today feeling a little inspired (or motivated you pick) so I am went off to take some new photos today - but first here is a list of my favourite things this week (in no particular order)......

Vic has made an absolutely stunning quilt - check it out here - this mama can do anything with all the amazing pieces she collects.

Tralalere! Have a look it will just make you happy

I think I would love to go to The School Of Life

I'm thinking about making these as the Madams birthday falls this week (so Halloween week)

I would love to try to cook a recipe from here - just have to decide which one

Enjoy these hopefully I will be back as soon as I have edited with a few more photos and a bucket load of inspiration!

My love, My links

One of the things I absolutely adore about blogging is learning from others.  I swear I have learnt more about parenting, photography, feminism, vintage and life in general in the year and a bit I have been blogging than I did before.

Anyway here is my latest hits......

Blue Milk...........the blog that gave me the idea for sending the Madam too a Montessori pre school and reignited my feminist side.

Aurajoon.......beautiful photos AND they are having a baby which is always cool!

Sometimes Sweet......  A wonderful blog with another soon to be mama, stunning tattoos & please follow the link and vote for Brians dress it is fab!

Merry May Handmade....The best post about the top 20 most influential albums (mmmm an idea!)

Sarah Wilson....a great post by the beautiful Nat & it is also one of those blogs that makes you want to run and mainline spinach so you can be just as super healthy as Sarah Wilson is!

Here is my new favourite band with my absolute new favourite song! Enjoy x

What to do this weekend.....

Well it is rather on the cold side this weekend, the Mr is working and my parents have taken the madam for today so I thought I might have a bit of an adventure. You know the sort of adventure that you can have with a wine, or cuppa, in hand next to the warmth of the heater and it doesn't cost a cent......

First I would start here because they are such a cool family it makes me want to actually develop the ability to sew more than pin cushion and move to France - and they look like they have the coolest home!

Then I would love to catch up on some talks from here - you know the talks that you only get to see a little bit of or read the explanation before the call of "MUM"....well lacking in Madam today I may indulge.

I may call over and check out the August break photos from Boho Girl - cause you know they are always food for my soul.

Then for a second serve of soul food I will pop in on Susannah Conway

For the grand finale I will take my adventure here great writing, great photography, wonderful family and a rockin album to boot.

Have a good weekend!

Fairies & lovely links

This is what the madam came out of the bedroom wearing the other morning........apparently she had some sort of transformation into a fairy........as you do........

Now........ I have spent a small (mmmm.....kinda) amount of time wandering around the blogosphere trying to kick the creative brain cells into gear......I thought I would share the little gems of happiness and inspiration I came across......

Not only is this lady a phenomenol artist and has a brilliant blog but she must be a great big sister - she suprised her little brother and this is his reaction.....

I am trying to talk the Mr into doing something like this beautiful, exciting family - I don't think I have much chance but a girl can dream can't she?

Get yourself a cuppa (if you get a chance) and spend five minutes with this family........they are lovely, creative, and check out their film and vote if you love it.....

I......

Someday I would love to be talented enough (which therefore means recognised enough) to be invited to this

I just read this book and it was excellent - a great life story of brotherhood, family, difficult circumstances with some highly talented fellas and a few laughs thrown in.

I think the pants on the lady on the left (the big flowy ones) are stunning - and they are Italian women so they are obviously very exotic! I love these pants, I would love to wear them, I would love not to look like a member of Playschool when I wore them.

I would love to live in this house - I think it would satisfy me morally, ethically, astetically and it would just make you wake up with a smile.

Now I think it is about wine time, don't you?

These are a few of my favourite ...links!

Just because......thanks to Kelly
I got my linking issue figured out here are a few things;

I so want to make this cake just cause it looks cool and my sister would love it!

I am so inspired by this little princess set I am starting to make one for the madam - I hope it turns out half as good.

I am humbled by this lovely blogger/artists way of helping out Haiti.


This organisation rocks......I have been a member for a long time and they never cease to amaze me with their humanitarian work.


Anyway ....I'm sure I will link for a longtime - have a good night x
