Red Balloons for Ryan

It started with Instagram and a picture of a mummy, a daddy and the cutest red headed boy I have ever seen. Then the caption. The words ‘tragedy’ and ‘sudden loss’ were mentioned. That sweet boy was dead.

I immediately went into a frenzy. Searching on other Instagram profiles for anything that would explain what had happened. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. A little boy, dead? A three-year old little boy, whose mother had posted, that same morning, a picture of him running through Disneyland, was hit by a truck. He is no longer here. No longer in the arms of his mother. How can that be?

In the kitchen- Creamy cauliflower garlic rice

I have finally discovered how to get Georgie to eat cauliflower. All I had to do was mix it up with butter, garlic and of course remember to break out those snow peas he loves so much, as a sider. We’ve tried mashed cauliflower in the past, which I swear is almost just as good as mashed potatoes, but the addition of rice was one he appreciated more.

a dress up birthday party

This weekend, my baby boy turned three. We celebrated with a big bash and a dress up theme to go with. It was such a fun day with people turning up decked in their fancy costumes, faces painted, making me laugh so hard all day long with their antics. Honestly, I had the best time, so a big thank you to everyone who came. Despite the massive stress overload that comes with planning a big birthday party that included Barney showing up and making my baby’s face beam so brightly at the sight of the big pink dinosaur, it was all worth it. Excuse the overload of photos that is to follow but I need to post a few pictures of these awesome people.This will definitely be a day I will remember and smile. Happy third birthday, my sweet boy. x

odd ends

1. Phone conversation with papa.

2. I, yes I, painted the guest toilet walls black. Blackboard black! Finishing touches will be taking place this week- hopefully.

3. Just so he can see where he’s going, a mini haircut. I made papa swear before they left for the hairdresser’s.

4. Perdika. I snuck up on this little birdie only to notice this little ring around its leg. It’s raised to be shot.

run wild and free

I am so glad I grabbed my camera on our way out to my sister’s for lunch. A beaming sun was all these kiddies needed to run free, make up stories (apparently,a shark was after us) and just be kids for a while. In the meantime, I got to capture all of this. Today was one of those good days. x
