One Fine Baby

Posted in Uncategorized by

Today Liv and I along with a friend and her bub headed down to the One Fine Baby fair in Melboune. I was pleasantly surprised.

i expected madness. Crazy mums everywhere fighting to get a peak at the stallholder goods, toes ran over by prams and massively inflated overpriced goods. What I found was a calm peaceful market with super friendly business owners who were all happy to say hi and have a chat rather than pushing for a sale. I had a great day, as did Liv. The only one thing i would say they need is more variety on the catering side. Liv was happy with popcorn, lollipops and fairy floss however!

If you are into handmade clothing/interiors/toys then i suggest going to the next one for sure. 

Personal…

Posted in Uncategorized by

So how personal should a blog be? I have so much to share and probably overshare but those that are my friends / family will critisize my decisions to share everything. How do i find a happy medium?

Should i just have the attitude its my blog i will do what i want? I had that with my instagram but still hear negative comments. Why is it so hard to get support from people you know but strangers can give you the most encouragement and support? Hmmm…Personal opinions always get in the way.

School Mum

Posted in Uncategorized by

I am soon to be a school mum. Everyone keeps telling me that everything changes when you become a school mum. I am nervous. Its a whole new ball game.

Liv so far has had one transition day and one day of pre prep testing. Transition day she waltzed on in turned and looked at me, casually waved and off she went. I was left a sobbing nervous mess as was Tyler. Together we sooked and counted the minutes for Liv to return. Testing day went somewhat the same. Teacher comes out afterwards and proclaims “she’s well and truly ready for school’. I was delighted to hear this naturally, especially given that fact her age is lower than most other preps. Now to saviour every minute I have with her until January arrives and I really become a wreck.

About us…

Posted in kids, kidsfashion, life, motherhood, mums, style by

Well hello there and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.

I’m Mel, mumma to Liv and Tyler. I have a lot to say and tend to ramble and overshare. Thus the need for a blog as my creative outlet.

Join me on this journey.

Liv is 4. A sassy little rock chick who is as Crackers as they come. Tyler 2 and a cheeky little maniac. Both  crazies. Both blondies with blue eyes. Similar yet so so different. 2 years apart and the exact age gap i wanted for them. The dynamic works.

You will learn so much more about them.

Our passions are kids fashion and photography. Liv loves to pose and have her daily outfits documented on our insta page @livandtyler. The photography is mediocre but mumma plans to do a short course real soon. We spend a lot of money on kids fashion. Its our thing and we love it. No judgements please. I get enough already. We also make a habit of selling our outgrown clothes and sometimes make a buck or two. We also brand rep which is something else we love. Giving small businesses free marketing and promotion in return for some snaps and plugs. Easy peasy! Although we only stay true to our style and enter searches which suit us. Not in it solely for free clothes – thats just a bonus!
