Sunday turned 4 this week and we held a little party with extended family for her yesterday in the garden area in our apartment building. The birthday girl asked for a Peter Rabbit theme (her favourite cartoon), I obliged – but I’ve got to admit it was a pretty loose tie in. My Aunt happened to have a newly acquired giant stuffed Peter Rabbit (she recently won it from her local bookstore), which became the centrepiece on the table. Gorgeous party ware from the Limoncello Yellow range at Paper Eskimo completed the look with cute paper plates, cups, straws, treat bags and balloons. A simple carrot cake with cream cheese icing and ‘grass’ made from coloured coconut as well as baby cupcakes for her cousins was the treat at the end after all the party food (fairy bread, popcorn, fruit, jelly and delicious sausage rolls made by my sister) were demolished. Adults indulged in Logan Bubbly, lemon slice and a big cheese board. Busy life with a newborn saw me outsourcing the entertainment and I hired a ‘Dorothy’ character who kept the kids busy with dancing, face painting and balloon making. Worth every cent.
Sunday and her little cousin Clementine dressed up as Sunday’s favourite character Lilly Bobtail, and big cousin Sage had a modern hat and dress combo.

We had a lovely week at my parents house on the South Coast recently, and Sunday was in heaven. There is something to be said for the outdoors where kids can get dirty and roam free. My little city slicker didn’t ask for the TV to be turned on once, and we discovered just how deep her obsession with gardening and bugs is. Butterfly catching took up a large percentage of the week (I’m not kidding, I think she has a slightly obsessive personality), as did fishing expeditions with Daddy and flower picking in my Mum’s abundant garden.
We worked on a very simple project across the week, documenting Sunday’s travels and finds with photos and drawings – and she was thrilled to be able to take it in to Preschool for Show + Share when she returned to Sydney. I highly recommend this little activity, she was so proud of her little purple folder!
I certainly love a beauty product, and am a little ashamed by the excess number of bottles and tubes that are spilling out of my bathroom cabinet at the moment. It’s safe to say I only use a quarter of the products, so I really need to do a cull. In the mean time, I thought I’d share my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ lotions and potions over the past month for myself and Rafferty while we’ve been resting up at home, slowly introducing my sweet baby to the big world.
It’s safe to say the words ‘precious cargo’ could spring to mind when buckling up your children in to the car. I’m a stickler for safety when it comes to car seats, which is why I chose

Pictured above is a little mood board I’ve put together with items inspired by the latest and greatest accessories that have ‘pimped out’ our Buffalo, ensuring we head out for our family adventures in style.
Here we are, on our first official outing. Sunday has completely embraced the wheeled board concept (thankfully) and has been more than happy to give up her seat for her baby brother’s bassinette attachement. The high quality of 
I love our new grey melange tailored fabric set, which is a perfect colour for my boy – but also looks contemporary and stylish at the same time. The extendable sun canopy is also fantastic for keeping sun out of Rafferty’s eyes.

Our first visit to the beach as a family of four was made that whole lot easier with the Buffalo wheels – the stroller glides effortlessly across sand. As you can see, the generous size of the under carriage basket makes it so easy to cart things like beach towels and toys to the beach.
One happy big sister. We really do love our Bugaboo!
