Super Cute October Snaps of the Boys, Which I Really Wanted to Share with You All! Of Course this Mumma is Totally Biased…

Some of their all-time favourite snacks are on the blog today.

Oscar Just Loves his Rafferty’s Garden Meal Snacks! Yumo!

A Breakky Fave and a Lunch Fave! Look at that cheeky smile! Such a proud Mumma I am. 🙂

Oscar’s cutie pie little dress shirt is one which was handed down to him from his older brother. It’s another one of our fave brands and for obvious reasons with the name – Ollie’s Place. Such gorgeous clothing for the little ones. I have been checking out their enews tonight for their 12 days of Christmas promotion ahead! Somehow I feel that I am going to be shopping up a storm in the coming days with their gorgeous range of promo items.

Our special family picnic rug is by Sunnylife and they have a stunning range online, which you can check out!

‘Yummy Mummy I Like This One!’ Says Oscar Bear. The Bangers, Mash and Veggies is a hit. I love how they are all colour cordinated too. We know the go-to colours and I even love to colour coordinate them all in the pantry, which makes life easy when it’s dinner time and we want to make sure that the meals are warmed up quickly and safely for our little man. The beauty of these products is that they are able to be served at both room temperature and can also be placed in a bowl of boiling/warm water, or like we often do, place them in a microwave bowl and microwave for the desired temperature and allow to safely cool down for bub to enjoy!

We purchase our family groceries from our local Woolworths store and there are always plenty of amazing and healthy meal and snack options available for our boys. We love the convenience of the products for both at home and travelling. They are filled with lots of nutrients and most importantly, are a hit with the kids. Oscar is now following in his brother’s footsteps of enjoying a wide range of the Rafferty’s Garden selection options. We always make sure we home-cook meals wherever possible also and the boys love a balanced diet of fresh fruit and veggies also. I know that Oscar Bear is getting his quota when it comes to his fave meals. They both still love formula too. Ollie the only occasional morning or night-time treat and Oscar still has about 3 bottles a day. For our formula, we prefer A2 or Aptamil. Once again, we also purchase these from Woolies, or sometimes Chemist Warehouse. Thanks so much for reading guys.

Family Memories to Last a Lifetime – simple and sweet – Oscar’s 1st Birthday Photo Smash Treat

November, 18th, 2018 was a truly magical day to remember. It was our little Oscar Bear’s 1st Birthday party, surrounded by our nearest and dearest, family and closest family friends. It was an intimate affair and one which we will always treasure. We opted to have a family affair this year and make magical memories in our home, together as a family of four. And our party plan did not disappoint, it was just magical…

Last Sunday was a day to Always Treasure!

This was our take “One” on the party day, surrounded by our nearest and dearest family and our beautiful friend Lacee did such a great job at capturing these beautiful natural moments as the fam bam watched on!

We had the number 1, custom made for Oscar’s Big Brother Ollie 3 years ago and we knew that it would get some great use out of it again one day!

In true first birthday style, we didn’t manage to get a photo of the balloon with the birthday boy, as it popped on the driveway, the exact same thing that happened right before his big brother’s party, bizarre I know!

The pretty vintage bunting was only $4 from Kmart and we simply hung it outside on a neutral wall in our back garden. The weather was overcast but perfect for snapping away and creating special memories!

And the gorgeous personalised light grey cake topper, which is in Oscar Bear’s little hand is one from the gorgeous online family shop CMC Gold. We have ordered many personalised cake toppers from them, and have tried so many gorgeous colours! The owners and their little girl are so sweet and are always an absolute pleasure to work with! I look forward to placing another special occasion order with them soon!

The blanket and basket were kindly provided by our beautiful and ever-so professional and fun-to-be-around photographer, Lacee. The amazing top teir cake was hand-made with lots of love by the so very talented, Vinni of Miss V Designer Cakes. Vinni, you are simply amazing in every way! We just adore your cakes. There are so many to count these days. Everyone who comes to the party is excited to see your next creation! I can’t wait to continue to work with you in to the future. There are so many amazing themes to be tried!

The cute little Winnie the Pooh Cup Cake topper was actually won by the boys at the local King Pin Games room at Westfield Chermside recently. It was actually won on Oscar’s official birthday, which was cool!

The pretty navy and white picnic rug is one which is used a lot in our household at the moment, especially as we ease in to Summer, I just know that it is going to be used even more!

You can shop similar styles here: Our Retailed for $89.95, but we were lucky enough to have been gifted it after my brother-in-law won his!

Oscar’s gorgeous little Winnie the Pooh Outfit is size 12-18 months and was found by Daddy at our local XX store. We also have the smaller size as well which he was a big fan of too!

My beautiful parents, Nanny and Poppy and I with our birthday boy!

Christmas is Coming and We Just Couldn’t Be More Excited!

Such a special time of the year… These two little munchkins, Ollie and Oscar-Bear had the best time, with our Xmas-minis shoot, with the beautiful Lacee, of Lacee Froeschl Photography! <3 xo

I wanted something really quite cute outfits wise, and we just couldn’t go past these adorable little Kmart numbers, from our local, Toombul store. I love how well the gorgeous navy and beige tones pop on the Xmas colours! <3 To check out the awesome range online now, visit www.kmart.com.au.

The boys are wearing the Navy, short-sleeve Dobby shirt in Size 1 & 2. Find the link here. Priced at an  affordable $10, they are perfect for those special Xmas party events. We think we might even use them as our official Santa photos outfits this year! <3

Shop the shirts here.

I chose the gorgeous little Poplin style pants for the perfect little set for the Christmas shoot. I love the beige natural colour and know that they will get so much use for their Summer wardrobe this year. Photographed on the boys here are size 1 & 2. I also stocked up on the next size up for the boys too, as they are growing like crazy at the moment, as you can imagine! Being a mumma of boys, they love their food.

Shop the pants here.

The super-sweet reindeer and his little outfit is from Build-a-Bear at Westfield Chermside. It was something we had purchased the boys last year. They both got a little Christmas treat each. All of the stunning decorations were provided courtesy of Lacee-Ann and the little Santa teddy and little hedgehog were cute Christmas toys, which we had on hand already. There is so much potential with Christmas shoots. I love all of the little details.

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

As you can see too, in these gorgeous photos, they especially loved taste testing the yummy Chrissy biscuits. Good old, traditional jam drops! Yumo! I purchased from Jam Drops from our local Woolworths store. They are a staple treat for us! And this gorgeous little Christmas White High Tea Stand, is from Myer. I purchased it for this year’s royal wedding of Harry and Meghan getting married. It’s been used for so many occasions already!

We decided to shoot in the afternoon sun, which was the most beautiful lighting! Can’t wait to work with the gorgeous and ever-so professional, kind-hearted Lacee again soon. The boys and I love working with her!

Stay tuned for more beautiful Christmas inspo to come!
