my boys

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:41:00 +0000

My boys are growing so fast.

Hudson is now in week 4 of Kindy and getting older day by day.

Harvey has started preschool and is hilarious but quite cheeky.

These snaps were taken in the last few days. Harvey discovered hair gel and Hudson got a 'well-done' sticker. Equally stoked but for different reasons.

new julia stone..

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Oh how i have missed her voice!

Julia Stone just released this new new song on YouTube from her upcoming album 'By the horns', due out in May.

I'm not sure I like the clip but I love the song..

Munster Winter 2012

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:19:00 +0000

Missie, Mini and Munster's first Winter 2012 range will be here this week. Hooray!

I'm particularly loving Missie this season, the pieces are so versatile and different, especially for that tween finding her own style..

For boys the biggest winner will their trackies. They have done a few new styles that are perfect for that boy that runs, plays and gets dirty! I personally LOVE all of the styles and it was so hard choosing what to buy for my boys. Every style will look great on the littlies and super cool on the 12 year old.. all depends on how you wear it..

... the green is pretty cool though...

It's one of those days isn't it... you hate it.. but love it too if someone surprises you with a little something.

Go and get yourself a little treat, why can't we spoil ourselves for Valentine's?

xxxxx

hearts and lollies...

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:32:00 +0000

Do you like to celebrate Valentines Day with the kids?

I found this via Chic Tags and thought it was a really cute (and quick!) activity to do with or for the kids. How cute would it be to give to friends at school or each other in the family.. and the kids would LOVE the jaffas!

I found doilies exactly the same but in plain packaging at the Hot Dollar shop.

Fatmumslim's Photo A Day Challenge!

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:11:00 +0000

Did you read about the January photo a day on Fatmumslim last month?

Want to join me this month in the February challenge and have some fun on Instagram?

Have a read of her post but basically its super easy. Each day of the month you take a photo on Instagram using the word above as your guide eg. today being the 1st is 'your view' - what are you upto today, take a photo!

Then, share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr or even your blog. If you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag #FEBphotoaday so everyone can find them. There's a great community around the photo sharing, so do share!

Fatmumslim suggests having a look at the photos at the end of the day, just before bed. A lovely way to see how the world evolves before you close your eyes to sleep.

My instagram user name is 'mymessyroom', follow me and I will follow you back.

Have fun!

Australia Day Long Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:46:00 +0000

Australia Day and weekend was spent down the coast as we have our Little H starting school tomorrow and we wanted to enjoy the weekend not doing much.

As always, it was lazy, quiet and lots of fun. The kids love the space, playing outside, either at the beach or in the backyard.... they don't seem to play the same in Sydney.

Good friends stayed as well and we chatted, laughed, read, ate and enjoyed a few drinks.

We are home now. The school bag is packed, his uniform is out and we are ready for the '1st day'.

Wouldn't this be awesome to make! You can find the instructions here on the website Woonideeen, a fantastic website from the Netherlands for craft and living ideas. I'm not sure I could do it, but I love it all the same.

dinner parties...

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:29:00 +0000

While on holidays we decided to have a dinner party for New Years Eve... summer style in the backyard!

The weather was gorgeous, friends arrived for the day, kids played happily after a day at the beach and late afternoon was spent frocking up and getting the food prepped.

We deliberately didn't sit down until the kids went to bed so though we ate late, it made all the difference.

It was a beautiful night by candlelight, spent with friends. And made all the more special with that little bit more effort.

The table setting was quite simple - old pasta jars filled with candles, an old (but loved) doily tablecloth, a few nectar jars filled with flowers, paper napkins wrapped around the cutlery with twine and a shipping tag and the new pots I bought from the Shady Fig.

Dinner parties, we need to have more of them! xx

you the first to know - we are on SALE!

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:29:00 +0000

Yes its true!

Its our BEST SALE EVER and it starts today for all our favourite people! Pop in, it's BIG!

We need to clear some room for new season (only 4 weeks away) so I've decided to reduce all Summer clothing (except Wellspotted).

Massive hey!

That means Paperwings, tutu di monde, Munster, Missie, Littlehorn, Snugglebum, Alphabet Soup, Electric Boy, Heavenly Creatures, One Red Fly, Havaiannas etc etc etc..

WOO- HOO!

It's super easy to understand, basically:
Buy 1 item and receive 30% off the original price
Buy 2 items and receive 40% off both pieces
BUT if you buy 3 or more items you get 50% off all items of clothing!!

Sale is until new stock starts to arrive and we will be adding stock every day until we have sold out.

xxxxxxxx

ps. This is an instore event only. sorry to all your guys that dont live in Sydney.We are working on a new website that will have more fashion next season... and its looking pretty cute by the way.. x

my new word for 2012...

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:32:00 +0000

I decided not to do any new years resolutions this year.

I have some goals for the business that i have set, but for my 'life', I decided to follow Maxabellaloves suit and just choose a 'word' to define how i will live this year.

and I have decided the word will be focus.

Friend will laugh at this word, cause i am always teased that i am trying to do too much, or i am running late, don't remember a special day, forgotten a message .... and this is why i've chosen 'focus'... even if its just to focus in/on the moment.

Have you got a word? Have a think about it today..... xx

holidays are awesome

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:11:00 +0000

The two week holiday with the little h's has been awesome. Boxing Day we drove down the coast and stayed until Monday.

We had friends and family drop in every day and New Year was so much fun! The best bit though was just going with the flow and enjoying what each day presented...

Our last night was spent at The Huskisson Fair and it was a fabulous way to spend the last night. The kids had a ball and we enjoyed watching them. so pooped now though!

back to reality.. and a good nights sleep.. xx

while he sleeps...

noreply@blogger.com (My Messy Room) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 03:59:00 +0000

While down south I had to visit a couple of favourites while the Mr H had a 10 minute power snooze...

Lisa Madigan has only been open a few months and already is looking to be a quick stop on the way through Berry. She took over the lease from One Wise Owl (they are now back at JindyAndy Mill) and there were so many pieces i ooohed and aaahed! So beachy and her cordial was perfect for the warm day.

2nd stop was The Shady Fig in Nowra, and i couldn't resist these small plants, in fact i bought two! I used them for NYE table decorations and they received so many comments. So simple and the hessian made such a visual difference to being in just an ordinary pot.

Did you visit any stores these holidays that you loved?

xx

you like it? i do! Besides being gorgeous to look at, I love the affirmation too.. It just seems to work for me in this month of January, thinking about the last year and what the new one will bring..

I'd like to say that the print is available instore, but not this time. This one is from Urban Outfitters. The artist is Wesley Bird.

Enjoy your weekend! xx
