my baby boy turns eight

wow ... i can't believe that my baby boy is now 8 ... it doesn't feel that long ago that Brendan and I were the proud parents of our first child ... i remember we were proud as punch that we had made this adorable little creature ... he was ours to love and cherish, teach and raise ....


as i look back upon the years i can't believe how much and how big he has grown. i am sure that before we realise it he will be towering over us. we have our moments like all parents and children, but we try and lead him in the right direction and try and teach him to make the right choices ... sometimes it doesn't go as planned ... but we are all still learning ...


he has taught me so much, i can now name every dinosaur, i know all the names of the characters out of cars, i am a master and building lego and i can kick a football (not very well though) ... i wonder what adventure he will take me on next.


Happy Birthday Mitch ... thanks for being you .... we love you very, very much xoxox

Boys boys boys

Hi all

Just a quick post today ......

In between cuddling my little girl (who was a little off due to immunisations today), I have been busy creating lots of cute little boy singlets for the handmade shop as well as the upcoming markets that I will be attending in November, There will be three styles available (I am not going to tell you what they are though ... It will be a surprise) and sizes will range from 0000 through to size 2.

We have also been working on some Christmas items, such as Santa and Mrs Clause, elves, angels, gingerbread men and lots more. I also hope to have the lucky dips up and running for the Rock a Buy Baby Markets on the 12th November. lots of little goodies available in the lucky dips.

I hope to pop back in on Friday with some pictures on the boys singlets.

Until then

Take care

Bald Hills State School Fete

It's finished, it's over, no more fete for another two years .... i'm a little sad :( i loooove a good fete and ours was great ....

the p & c put in so much hard work to bring it all together ... they truely are awesome ...

a good friend of mine spent every waking minute of her day organising and then reorganising stalls, rosters and so much more ... she will be glad that the fete is over and that there is not another one for another two years :) ....

the weather held off until the fete was over and then a massive hail storm hit (really BIG hail stones) we had left by then .....

Master 7 was so tired and exhausted ... but very proud of himself for going on the teacup ride 25 times (my head would of seriously been spinning) ... he had a great day ...

The My Heart Flutters stall was a success :) ... it was great to see so many friendly faces and we received lots of lovely comments ...

i promise we will have boy singlets and unisex singlets in stock for our next market ....

speaking of our next market .... My Heart Flutters will be attending the following events in November ....

Welcome

welcome to the new look My Heart Flutters .....

i have merged one of my other blogs with My Heart Flutters to simplify my life a little. i have so much going on at the moment that i was finding it difficult to keep all my blogspots updated.

so what has been going on in my little world of late ....

1. emma turned ONE ... we held a beautiful afternoon tea party for her with lots of yummy food and pretty decorations.

2. brendan left two days after Emma's party for India for four weeks of work (only three more sleeps until he is home)

3. the children and i moved out and headed to Caloundra for a week whilst new tiles were laid in the downstairs area of our house. it was a mammoth task to get all the furniture out and then back in (thanks to my dad and brother for their help)

4. have been busily creating handmade goodies for the My Heart Flutters stall to be held at Mitchell's school fete on October 15.

5. attending numerous football breakups/presentations for mitchell

the past four weeks has been very challenging for me as i play the role of mum, dad, cleaner, taxi driver, worker and all the other numerous hats i have had to wear ... i take my hat off to all the single mums out there trying to make it work ... i have had moments where i wanted to curl up into the feotal position and cry, wanted to lock myself in the cupboard so the children could not find me .... but then i have had moments where i sit down and look around and think i am truly blessed ... i have a lovely home which i helped create with a man who truly loves me .. i have two beautiful children .... and i have a career i enjoy .... i am not perfect but who is .... i may raise my voice a little at my children but then provide them with lots of cuddles and kisses ...

with all said and done .... i cannot wait until tuesday when brendan arrives back into this country to be my partner in crime .... i have missed him ...

and because i haven't shared any pics of emma's tea party ..... here they are (thanks to Erin Honsa Photography for taking pictures from my girls special day)
