35 & Sydney!

View from the hotel room...the dryest place for sight seeing!

Going on a ride on the porters luggage trolley...room service!

A break in the weather for a photo moment!

Grey skies & the habour bridge...we love Sydney!

Well it's happy birthday to me today & I've reached 35 years & am happy as can be! I don't understand why people hate birthdays. I think I do because of my love of celebrations, food, friends & champers. To make such an event we took the two big girls to Sydney for the weekend & it rained like you wouldn't believe, we spent a lot of time in our Hotel room with the hairdryer in our shoes trying to maintain some dryness for our next treck outside. Husband couldn't beleive that we paid $15.95 for an inhouse movie when we had the city at our toes (wet toes that is) The purpose was to see the Harbour Bridge & the Opera house as the girls had never seen them in quote "true life" unquote. Big girls thrill of the trip was staying up late & Miss middle's favourite thing was having dessert before dinner, an icecream in the pouring rain was the least we could do for them! Little spud stayed home with Poppy & Kerryn & had a blast, but I missed her so much. x So happy birthday to me & here's hoping our 'next' trip to Sydney is filled with the sunshine we missed.

Dinner invitations on hold!

Now that Three Potato Four is expanding & the extension to our home has started we have had to make some sacrifices & the first being the dining room. We not only now have a great space to create but also have some great new shelves to put in the new office once the building is finished. Big girl insisted that she also be provided with her own creative space so the tressel table that was purchased for markets has been taken over & a new one purchased. Even the chandalier has been tied up so that we don't bump our heads (it was above the table so it could hang low!)

A celebration of a Mum's Business...

Our first interview is from Karin who was my first ever customer from Etsy!

Thank you again Karin.x

Name: Karin
Mum of Finn and bub on the way
Describe your home?

A work in progress (major renovations underway)
What does a day in your life entail?

Being with my son, working as a web producer, writing,

planning and organising,

relaxing in front of the TV with my husband.
What's your greatest organisational secret?

Not exactly a secret but a to do list - I couldn't survive without my to do list.

And I can't bear to not cross something off it so everything eventually gets done.
The perfect present for a 2 year old boy would be a tea set.

Boys tend to miss out on these role playing type toys which is a pity.

My son has one and loves to have a tea party with his softtoys.
A short term goal of yours to share:

Completing the first draft of my novel before bub #2 arrives.
