Ensemble, marchant sur la terre

Walking through a land which may have a great significance in our lives...maybe or maybe not...we're not sure yet but it's exciting.

Amelia's Hens - crazy games.

Saturday morning was the beginning of Amelia's hens. We woke up to go for a lovely walk by the beach and it was a bit of a time for us to reflect and talk.
We made a new friend while walking, Mr. Donkey.

We were rushed in the morning trying to buy the groceries for the night. Unfortunatey I wasn't going to make it for the night party because of an Engagement Party so it was nice of Amelia that we could have a few hens games during the day.

I loved what Amelia was wearing, she found a super cute second hand wedding dress from St Vinnies and she dressed it up with pink accessories. Pink belt, pink shoes, pink earings, pink everything.

I'll let the pictures do the talking...enjoy.

Roadtrip begins..

Beautiful Rhyll

Talking on the hello phone. So cute!

Friday night Wayne had a date with his xbox and guitar while I drove out to Phillip Island for a hens. Wayne didn't end up having dinner, this is what gaming does to you!! He was so into it.

My drive was accompanied by a friend which made the whole trip go by so quickly. We arrived in Rhyll at 7:30pm, but the bride to be didn't show up till 9pm so we had plenty of time to kill. We went to the beach and of course bought fish and chips (minus the fish haha) and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

We were so tired that when the bride to be arrived we were ready for bed.........but that didn't happen for a while. Instead I got to help her sister in law feeding her little baby girl with a bottle, it was such awesome thing to do. Great practice of what is yet to come. ;) I also played with the her other daughter, who is nearly 2 years old, she was so cute playing with my iPhone flicking through my pictures.

Bedroom inspirations

The search continues for home inspiration. Today looking at bedrooms.
One thing for sure we'd love to have is a Chandelier.

Last day of the night markets

Was close to buying these cute beanies!

mr. crepe man!

I have NO idea what we were thinking when we decided to go to the last day of the Queen Vic night market. It was absolutely packed, it took us an extra half an hour to get parking and everyone was just not in a nice mood.
Anyway the journey was not pleasant but getting there was a relief, and so happy we actually did make it.
First things first, we had persian food and it was amazing then we had Sangria (spanish wine punch) and finally for dessert we couldn't go past the beautiful crepes filled with nutella and strawberry with 2 scoops of ice cream...yummmmmmmmmm.


Knowing us, after the dessert we both went a little bit crazy being silly finding the most useless items that we really wanted to buy. Luckily we had good reason to control ourselves, need stuff for the new house!


The car ride home meant that Wayne's hyperness would continue regardless of the fact that he needed to focus on driving, so he turned off the car music and started making unusual sounds.


Farrah: "Are you a bird?"
Wayne: "No! I'm making dinosaur sounds"
Farrah: (laughing) (laughing) (tears) (laughing)
Farrah: "It doesn't sound like a dinosaur to me, sounds like a bird"
Wayne: "Noooo, it's when they are born they sound like that" (DUHH expression on his face)
Farrah: "Ok" (laughing)
Wayne: "Whaaat?"
Farrah: "Nothing"
Wayne: (dinosaur sounds)



You know, I can just imagine how noisy our kids are gonna be!!!!

Cupcake Love

Wayne and I can't have lunch together because it's just way too far, but maybe it's a good thing? We've been so busy the last 2 years that our social life with others has gone down the hill.

We take this opportunity to hang out with friends. Wayne has been lunching with the grads and I've been spending time with my girls. I took Kate to explore bits of Melbourne, last time we had dumplings (first time for her)... Yesterday we went to a cute lane called Block place it's a lane with a few cafe's and restaurants, we ate the cafe cortile. It was yummy and quick service too.

The tables are squished so if you don't mind people listening to your conversations then I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience.

Oh and...Kate gave me a cupcake and it was worth posting pictures of because it's Red Velvet cupcake, only the best cupcake ever.

I like Turtles

We love being internet nerds. heh heh

Simon's Christening

In many cultures, the christening of children is celebrated with a big reception. We had the pleasure of attending the christening of Simon, the son of one of our family friends. It was held at a small arabic church and later we celebrated at a reception venue that is located right next to their church and is used by the church community.

Wayne and I attend an english church so it was really interesting to go to an arabic sermon.

After Simon was baptised the reception started, when everyone was seated Simon did a big entrance (exactly like a wedding when the bride and groome enter). His God father was holding him up and everyone was standing around Simon clapping and dancing to celebrate.
As normal, there was entre, main and dessert. Simon had a big blue cake with his name on it.
His father is a videographer and did a fabulous video that we watched just before we were served the main meals. It was the cutest video of Simon, laughing about and hanging out with his parents.


Wayne & Farrah

Simon, such a cutie!


Prettiest ever! my darling cousin.

Simon's christening and he was looking at me!

Sam wishing Amanda was there

Wayne was hungry by 9:30, so he thought an iPhone would do.

Kitchen shopping

I know these are 2 separate kitchens but if you put them together,

the shape of our kitchen would be just like that.

Ivory is dominating the market at the moment, with cute french handles

the black pearl stone on a bench top is an option

Since our house is in frame stage we thought we should start to get an idea of how we want the interior to look like. So we began our hunt for kitchen ideas. One lesson learned...most shops close at 12 midday and we were out of the house by midday so we couldn't really see much but there were a couple open.

Some things we are certain of:

- We'd like a stone bench - marble perhaps?

- We like the colours Ivory, Black and other earthy colours like Brown, lime green

- Lots of Drawers

- Plenty of bench space

- Silver appliances

A few more inspirational pictures from Porter Davis.

Dark brown cupboards are quite nice against the ivory bench top

In contrast the Ivory cupboards and the black bench top
is quite lovely too.

Advice please?
