My birthday in snaps

Last week I turned 35. Yes, 35. I don't feel old but I think I must be -- it took a friend on Facebook to politely remind me that I was not turning 36 as I genuinely thought. I had to get a calculator to check. Oops, they were right. I mean, when you can't work out your own age using your fingers, you are getting on, non?

Anyway.

35.

When you've got two fiesty kids under 3, you don't have a lot of time to lament the fading memory of your 20's...

This year, I celebrated my birthday with my little family. We went out for lunch. Ate chippies. Shared a milkshake. Dripped melting icecream everywhere. And I stole an hour or so at the shops to buy myself a few little treaties. Mostly clothes. Highly overdue. And to my surprised pleasure, the realisation that this season is about colour.  Oh joyous COLOUR is back, folks! So I went a little mental. And somehow I now have a lot of mustard in my wardrobe. Mustard on mustard. With some subtle undertones of salmon pink and turquoise.

Colour.

Oh happy days!

Amongst my gifts, I scored a (colourful!) Fossil purse and handbag and little Summer dress from Dan, and a handmade skirt with matching cushions (match your outfit to your homewares - now there's another post!) from my MIL which I must share with you later this week...

Here's a few happy-snappys..... have a great week!

yes, Fern is sporting socks with her sandals. No, it wasn't my idea..... Mustard pants. See?

me, Elli-Boo and Ferny share a strawberry milkshake...

My daughter is a tiny bit cute with a sandwich as large as her...

Me and the kiddies.

who needs a double-pram? The kids share a moment...

I scream, you scream....... check out Elli eating the side of his. You can guess how THAT ended! ;)
