Broccolli doesn't grow on trees, you know
Originally uploaded by Darwin Bell

Yesterday my son, the fussiest eater on the planet informed me that he now liked "little trees" (little trees being broccolli, I am sure every mother knows this)!! This left me in shock, especially more so tonight when he asked for "little trees" for dinner again!

Whatever next....carrots?

Well done Joseph, Mummy is proud!

Matilda in her usual style wolfed down the broccolli which also left me happy, as it was the first time she has tried it (only 5 months old)! I reckon my little lady is going to be one chubby girl, she does enjoy her food!

Overall, today I am one happy Mummy!

my aim this year is to have the garden turfed and made nice, then I will fill it with lovely planters like this

A pitcher to go on my window ledge, i have wanted one of these for so long, finally found this one that i love!

Anyway they are a few things that I am loving today, my list is bound to grow tomorrow. Oh to be a millionaire.

My Idea!

Okay so I love photography and shabby chic things, especially shops that sell shabby chic things!  I could browse for hours, I just wish i had a bigger house so I could buy more! Not that the hubby would be impressed.  Well my idea whilst I am on maternity leave is to ask the proprietors of said shops if I can photograph them for my blog and write about the items they sell.  So not only fulfilling my love of photography and shabby chic style, but also helping them by advertising them in a blog stylee way! So what do you think? Is this passable? Do you think shops would be happy for me to do this?  Well only one way to find out I suppose and this is to get in contact.  So today I will be investigating and emailing the shops I love that are local, then if that is successful maybe I could spread my wings a little further and travel :-)
Also today I will be going to get my Phoebe-Boo cuddle fix (my best friends baby, only 4 days old, nothing like cuddling a newborn baby).

Happy Wednesday Everyone
