Tinker Bell and My Nanna
What a week for us.
Sorry for our absence. (We were really on a good roll too, loading fresh content for everyone to read a few times a week.)
My Nanna passed away on Father’s Day. It threw our whole family into slight chaos. It was a week of emotional up’s and down’s, baking frenzy’s, organising smart clothes for the wee ones, writing eulogies along with loads and loads of phone calls to family members.
Alas no blogging for this little black duck.
The funeral was on Friday and ran smoothly and by the time Saturday rolled around l was well and truly beat.
Thank god for Sunday.
You see Sunday my little man and l trotted off to Melbourne Central to get a sneak peek at Disney’s new flick Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings.
It was truly what the doctor ordered.
Fun time with my little man and some movie escapism.
The pre-film fun included some face painting, fairy wings and some balloon bending tricks by a colourfully painted entertainer for the kids. Mr 3 was most excited and lapped up all the fun, although he was busting to get in the cinema to start watching the film. After all he does take after his grandpa and mummy and possess a keen obsession for films.
The Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings film was just delightful, and although the cinema was mainly filled with little girls it didn’t bother Mr 3 one bit, hey a trip to the cinema is a trip to the cinema.
He enjoyed all the fairy characters and the cute forest animals. In true Disney style the scenery was bright and colourful which added a bit of magic to the film. There were no scary bits and it was light and breezy, just like Tinker Belle I guess.
So if you’re looking for some September School Holiday Inspiration then look no further than Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings. It’s suitable for girls, boys and parents young at heart.

Wonderful Weekend
Well that weekend came and went!
Sunday was family day.
We were very lucky - the boys got to see Grandma
and Grandpa for Yum Cha at Dragon Boat Palace.
And then off to Nonno and Nanna's for dinner!
Also lucky for mummy too - no cooking for me.
Hope you all had a FAB time with the family.

P.S We also found a NEW baby friendly cafe in the
WEST on Saturday so stay tuned for more details.

Family
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men,
women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.

Family - Food and Flowers
l love weekends when we don't have any plans.
So when we know we'll be home all weekend
my hubby loves to cook up fresh pasta for dinner.
l usually swing past the markets to pick up fresh flowers
and yummy cakes while he slaves over a hot stove.
The bubba also loves to help daddy cook up fresh pasta,
who knew playing with flour could be so much fun!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your family!

Autumn Weekend
What a magnificent weekend we had!
l hope you had a fabulous one too.
We caught up with friends for dinner, lunched with family
and had a little trip to the country side.
l adore Daylesford, especially this time of year with all the trees changing.
The colours are amazing.
We had a bit of retail therapy at the Daylesford Market and
popped into Lark's newly renovated store.
Hey Bambini are in for a busy week.
We have two new cafes to add to the site, along with a truck load
of emails to read and new cafes to visit.
Just as well we got all that country air on the weekend.
Enjoy your week.
