Ummm... who is this little girl and what has she done with my baby? Life with a 14 month old Lalie Bug is fun, exhausting, hilarious, challenging, beautiful, chaotic, happy, not-so-happy, turbulent, ...
1. Lalie likes to sit in the sunroom and talk to the birdies through timber louvers. The gorgeous rocking horse was a first birthday gift from her cousins. 2. Fallen palm branches, collected and wrap...

If youre in the southern hemisphere, chances are youve noticed the change. A slight chill in the air... the promise of winter*. To celebrate the change of season, Em and I have updated the shop with ...
Some recent op shop finds. Dont they look cute together? Theres a real 70s-80s boho vibe going on here! You really cant ever have too many little denim dresses (Lalie will be a mini Alexa Chung in no...

Our old stomping ground - Newtown, Enmore, Marrickville. As much as we enjoyed our stay in Bondi, we felt instantly relaxed and at home as we wandered about these scruffy suburbs. We like things a li...
Same day, different apple product. This time it was a custard apple from the tree in our back yard. The real deal. No cardboard cut-out here. Although she did take a bite, just to be sure. She wont b...
The singing plastic toy phones just dont cut it.... ...so I cut it, literally, from an old iphone box. It had her fooled for a good ten minutes. Please note I cannot take credit for this ingenious id...
Weve officially entered the teenage months! Lalie is getting taller, chattier (still mostly in her own little language) and faster on her feet. And it blows me away how much she knows. I can ask her ...
