The Gallery - Colour

This weeks Gallery topic is colour which as always is a title which is open to interpretation.

For me, I had to write about the colour pink.

A very pink and fluffy person myself I have been feeling as though our home does not reflect my personality. I guess I have been keeping it a bit more neutral for Husbands sake. Well since finding out we are expecting our 3rd little girl I have been sneaking more and more pink in to the house.

It started with some some new crockery and casserole dishes:

Then it was a sneaky cushion:

Then a few photo frames:

And of course bump needed some new dresses:

Luckily Husband tells me he doesn't mind too much as long as I don't go too mad and spend a fortune.

Pretty Little Things - Favourite Colour

Both my girls are very girly and love petty things (thank goodness). However they like different colours.

Poppy absolutely loves the colour pink and practically everything she owns is pink. Whilst Rosie on the other hand loves purple. It was one of the first colours she learnt and she gets really excited when I dress her in purple.

As always I had to choose a pretty outfit so I chose tutus...perfect for my little princesses. Poppy has a pink one and Rosie a purple one:

The girls  are going to be sharing a room once baby number three comes along and I am already starting to think about how I can decorate it. I am looking for pretty bedding with both pink and purple in it as I  would love them to have matching. You will have to watch this space to see what I come up with.

For more pretty little things head over to Dear Beautiful Boy.

In Search Of The Perfect Dolls House

I am in search of a pretty wooden dolls house, but not just any dolls house....no little Miss has put in a Christmas request!

Poppy would like a pink wooden dolls house with blue windows and flowers above the door....aaaahh so specific!!

Nanny and Gramp's have a small carry one at their house that was brought almost two years ago and not sold any more. She loves it and now wants a bigger version at our house.

I have scanned the internet and not found one quite like this although there are some beautiful ones out there.

I have been on twitter and pointed in the direction of some lovely dolls houses but none have been quite right. Someone even suggested I buy one and paint it but I am really not that crafty and would hate to ruin something so expensive.

I am sure she would love any of them but I want it to be perfect!

Any help will be appreciated.

Cinderella Went To The Ball!

Last Night Husband and I enjoyed out second child free night since Rosie was born. We got really dressed up and headed off to a Summer ball. Here we are on our way out:

I felt really pretty in my new pink dress and Husband looked really smart in his DJ.

It was a gorgeous evening for it.  We were greeted by a band, enjoyed champagne, a delicious three course meal. fairground rides including dodgems, a bucking bronco, bouncy castle and coconut shy.  There was even an ice cream stand. Oh and not forgetting an amazing firework display too. It really was a fantastic evening.

Living across the river from the venue, husband had even arranged for a private boat to bring us home. It was  a prefect end to a magical evening. The water was so still and like a mirror. It was so quiet and the dim lights everywhere made it very romantic. I felt very special.

In bed at 2am, tired and a little tipsey, the evening ended....

....Then at 4am poor Rosie woke up screaming having half cut another tooth, not quite the lazy lie in we had planned but never mind.

This afternoon we are allowed another few hours off to see Harry Potter and I must say I am feeling totally spoilt.  I think my parents might need a rest after that though.  After us all being awake all night , with Rosie we are more than a little tired.  Thanks Mum and Dad, we really appreciate you.

Magic Crocs Chameleons - Colour Changing Shoes

Crocs were one of the sponsors at Cybermummy and were just giving them away...for free.  I know I was amazed too, so generous.

Having been looking at them for a while and dithering over the price, I was fortunate enough to pick up these gorgeous new colour changing crocs for my little girl.  She thinks they are so great so I just wanted to tell you about them.

They are currently on sale for £34.99.  Quite steep I thought for this type of shoe but they are very comfortable, let the feet breath and are "pretty cool" according to Poppy who is three.

"It's like magic! The new Crocs Chameleons™ Translucent Clog changes colours in the sun. Using exclusive breakthrough patent-pending technology, these kids’ clogs transform from one colour to another almost instantly when exposed to sunlight. So kids can watch them change right before their eyes!"

See for yourself:

Poppy has the clogg version in oyster/pink lemonade.  They look like this indoors:

They then start to turn a light pink colour outside before turning to this:

Yes a bright purple colour.  Doesn't she look all colour co-ordinated in this outfit?

They really do look totally different! She has had lots of comments about them from others, especially when they change before their very eyes.  They come in several different colour/style combinations so there really is something for everyone.

Poppy gives them a big thumbs up and a huge score of 9/10.  She can't wait to get them on and play outside in the sun.  Have you got yours yet?

For the record, although I received these for free I was not asked to write a review. I just wanted to because we like them!



     

I love girls and hair bows!

This is in no way a sponsored post. I just love my little girls to look pretty and girly in pink dresses and hair bows and I wanted to share my excitement with you! I was thrilled to bits today when I received our latest order of hair bows from my favorite online shop The Bow Company.  I got excited as soon as I saw the pink envelope I now know and recognise to be from them.  This is what we received:

Lots of bows and clips

We have quite a few hair bows  now.  Recently we purchased a bow holder from the same Company to hang them up and keep them them all on.  Its great and means they don't get lost or ruined.  We also brought one as a present for a friends little girls who also love their bows and ribbons.

Ice pink bow holder

We call the bows our "Finishing Touch" (pinched from the friend mentioned above!).  Poppy likes to pick which one to wear and her favorite is the one with strawberries on it!

Rosie with a teeny weeny bow

Poppy with a big one

I love everything about having little girls especially the clothes, the pink and the hair bows and just wanted to share this with you.
