Miss Charlie turned 8 recently and since we moved from the Sydney suburbs to the South Coast earlier this year, it seemed only fitting her birthday cake and party hat were mermaid themed this year. We are still in the rental house while waiting to find the right house to buy in our new area… Continue reading An 8th Birthday Mermaid Cake!
Miss Charlie turned 7 earlier this month and we celebrated with a Pamper Party for her and some of her friends. The colour scheme was pink, purple and silver and I had so much fun putting it all together and decorating our living room as a day spa. Each party guest had a headband, necklace… Continue reading A 7th Birthday Pamper Party
Earlier this year we decided it was time Miss Charlie’s bedroom had a makeover. Previously the walls were painted light green and while the colour was lovely, it was difficult to change the décor & bedlinen and still have it suit the wall colour. Charlie decided that she would like a pink and aqua bedroom… Continue reading Pink & Aqua Girl’s Bedroom Makeover
Meet Bingo our pet reindeer (named by Miss Charlie who is 6 years old)! The reindeer head is from Kmart ($25.00), I loved it as soon as I saw it but I didn’t want it to look like an animal hunting trophy up on the wall, a quick search in Pinterest and I was inspired… Continue reading Bingo the Christmas Reindeer

It has been so much fun to make, I am saying it is finished but I have no doubt I will keep fussing with it and adding to it over the next few weeks! I used the Stacking Tree from Kmart (which… Continue reading Christmas Elf House DIY Project

She has been looking forward to it for a long time and while I was confident that she was ready, I still had butterflies in my tummy thinking of my little girl going to school! We decided to mark the occasion with… Continue reading First Day of School Tradition: ‘Class of’ Shirt
Today is a throwback to Miss Charlie’s Rainbow 1st Birthday Party in 2011. A rainbow theme was an easy pick for us, not only is it bright and fun but also because Charlotte is our ‘Rainbow Baby’ which is a term used to describe a baby born after a loss (as in, a rainbow after the storm). In our… Continue reading Rainbow 1st Birthday Party
When it comes to cakes, I am not great at simple! If you like elegant, understated cakes, this post is probably not for you! I am by no means a professional baker but I love creating big, over the top cakes and this donut cake for Miss Charlie’s 5th Birthday is no exception. The cake itself is layers… Continue reading Donut themed Birthday Cake
What better way to kick off my brand new blog than with a super fun Donut & Sprinkles Party. My donut loving girl is turning 5 this week (how did that happen?!) and this past weekend we surprised her with a little party. We kept it quite small this year as we are heading to Queensland… Continue reading Donut & Sprinkles Birthday Party
