Well I missed last week as the week flew by before I realised it was over so here goes for this week.

1. Woo Hoot to my friend Megan who has FINALLY *wink* got her blog up and running. She is new to this blogging thing so why don’t you pop over and check out her blog. I’m sure she will be a regular blogger as she has always given me heaps when I don’t keep mine up to date! hehe

Check it out here  http://studiomcreations.wordpress.com/

2. My cute as daughter… she really is a funny little munchkin sometimes.

3. Having a lovely BBQ lunch with friends and family on Sunday, it was great to catch up with everyone. Oh and yummy food helps too! hehe

4. Getting myself sorted in regards to Christmas. It really has crept up on me this year. I hope to get the tree up on Friday and have enjoyed checking out the pics of some your Christmas tree pictures. Shall post mine when it’s done.

That’s about it for me, hope you all have a good rest of the week!

Wednesday again so here goes….

1. A big woo hoot for Facebook, I’m loving it at the moment. If you too love Facebook, look me up!

2. The nice sunny day outside, grow vege’s grow!

3. I know I’ve said it before but I love Milo with marshmallows, a nice little treat when you need it.

4. Making new friends through my Plunket coffee group, even if it is a tiny wee group hehe

5. Watching Craig with Grace, he loves her so much. That is definitely worth a Woo Hoot!

Have a fantastic end to the week, and I look forward to catching up on your Woo Hoots!

Well here we are again, yet another Wednesday rolls on by! It’s certainly getting to that busy time of the year, I’ve noticed that most of the shops either have their Christmas decorations up or are putting them up. I had the realisation yesterday that Christmas is only 6 weeks away! Yikes! I’ve found that having a baby means you seem to focus more on week to week rather than looking to far ahead, so I confess Christmas has crept up on me this year at an alarming rate. I still feel like I’m back in September!

1. Firstly I want to Woo Hoot about the lovely weekend away we had with my sister and her family. As said in a previous post it was most relaxing, I managed to have a first bubble bath since Grace was born! Bliss!!

2. The FANTASTIC weather we have been having this week, I have been enjoying sitting in the sun reading whilst Grace naps.

3. My newly sown vege garden is starting to really take off. I so enjoy spending some time in the fresh air watering and weeding in the warm evenings. I can’t wait for the harvest.

4. Starting Jessica Sprague’s "Stories in Hand"  course, I have been ready up on the info sent out and it looks so much fun! Nice change to be follow someone else’s ideas in a class. It’s been years since I have taken one. I hope everyone who is doing the class will post pics of there projects as we go.

Well after my whinge yesterday I thought it was about time I found the positive in things today. So here goes…

1. Firstly a big Woo Hoot to the lovely ladies that read my blog and always offer support and encouragement! Your kindness is so wonderful.

2. Sitting here drinking my latest drink of choice, Red Seal’s Mi-Chai tea. It’s nice to have a cuppa that’s different sometimes.

3. Even though it miserable and raining here I can be happy with the fact that my newly planted vege garden is getting watered with no effort on my part! hehe

4. Going to head off to the mall today and find some 3/4 jeans and some new tops as an early anniversary present.

5. My car passed it’s WOF yesterday, always a good thing and we washed both cars in the weekend (they haven’t been washed since Grace!) so they look nice and sparkly hehe :p

6. Sitting outside in the sun yesterday catching up with my sister while the baby’s were asleep.

Well this week they were quite simple Woo Hoot’s but its good to find the positive in the simple everyday things sometimes. Hope you’re all having a good week! I look forward to catching up on your woo hoots.

I thought this week I would actually get my act together and Woo Hoot about something… So here goes.

1. The fantastic weather, 24C yesterday and supposed to be 22C today. I must get the BBQ cleaned and brought out this weekend, it will go nicely with the patio furniture I got off Trademe last weekend. Roll on Summer evenings.

2. Last week I took Grace to the doctors for her first check up, she has had some dry skin and eczema so the doc suggested going dairy free as I have had allergy’s in the past, and he mentioned it may help her colic symptoms. Well it has, she is a different baby. We now have our evenings to ourselves and she is much easier to settle. We have been going out for evening walks then giving her a warm bath and massage then most of the time she falls straight to sleep.

3.A HUGE Woo Hoot to the Sex and the City DVD coming out tomorrow, I loved that movie! It was the perfect end to a brilliant series. I must get a copy to finish my Sex and the City seasons DVD collection.

4. A lovely relaxing weekend. We headed into the Botanic gardens for a walk and lunch at the Arts Centre on Saturday. It was so nice, we are very lucky to have such assets in our city.

5. Picasa 3 is worth talking about, it’s got some very cool new features including this mosaic collage maker. Great for scrapbookers.

6. Cousins hanging out together, aren’t they cute! hehe

1. Had our first plunket group meet up yesterday, I met this lovely lady who lives around the corner and has a wee girl and an interest in crafty things! YAY

2. Sitting here with a lovely hot cup of tea and catching up on blogs while Grace is asleep. Bliss!

3. Daylight saving has started! Yay we are coming closer to warm summer evenings and BBQ dinners!

4. Spending Sunday afternoon at the in-laws for a BBQ lunch to celebrate my brother in laws birthday. Got some nice pictures of the two cousins. I can’t share them yet as they are on the in-laws camera.

5. My fabulous new look blog… I found it the other day as I thought it was about time for a change. I think it looks very scrappy hehe

6. British cooking programs, the Hairy bikers are so funny!

7. Some cute photos of Grace from the past week.

1. My biggest WOO HOOT this week is finding that sleeping Grace on her side in a sleep wedge eases her wind so she can sleep!! We are super happy about this, it doesn’t work every time but we have had a few peaceful evenings thanks to  it.

2. My sister sent me this link, its got loads and loads of fantastic cupcakes…a brilliant source of inspiration. It’s amazing the length some people go to with cupcake decorating.

Check it out! Cupcakes Galore

3. The lovely warm weather we have been lucky enough to be having, I know this is a weekly Woo Hoot for me but the weather really changes the days outlook Mind you I have been having to water the garden, my spring flowers aren’t used to this heat.

All this WOO HOOTING about my week is good fun, if you haven’t tried it give it a go! Makes you realise just how lucky you are…

1. Visiting the Dunkleys Craft show with my sister and friend. It was worth a looksie but there wasn’t anything new so will wait a few more years to go again.

2. The STUNNING weather!! It has been so warm and nice, but I believe we are in for rain. I think for us scrappers it’s a win/win situation because we can enjoy the sun then create when it rains! :p

3. Creating a layout, it’s be awhile. It’s simple but was in the to-do pile of photos.

 4. Completing Grace’s 12 months album up to date. (see other post for photos)

5. Sharing the first BBQ of the season with friends on a glorious sunny Sunday. What a yum spread we were indulged with!

6. Getting out walking on the beach. Note to self - DON’T try to push the stroller over huge sand dunes! It’s jolly hard work hehe

Here we go again, where do the weeks disappear too!

WOO HOOT WEDNESDAY!

1. Milo with marshmallows - My all time favourite treat at the moment!

2. Watching Outrageous Fortune, brilliant NZ tv!

3. The bright Summery colours in the clothes stores, yay Summer must be coming.

4. Seeing how happy Craig was when we celebrated the first Father’s Day as him as a Dad.

5. Spending time with my Mum.

6. Our little Grace is growing everyday and smiling and gurgling more, it’s so much fun to watch!

I’ve decided that I might try and do Whoo Hoot Wednesday.  Focusing on the positive  sounds like a brilliant idea! I believe it was a Janine creation. I do so enjoy catching up on other peoples Whoo Hoots! hehe

I’m not sure if there are any rules to it but here goes.

* I bought these beautiful flowers on Monday and as they have opened they have become more beautiful, they really brighten my day every time I look at them.

* I planted these baskets up during the dept’s of Winter and they are coming into flower now. I love the double primulas I planted in them, will pot up some more this weekend.

* I love these pictures I took of Grace smiling. She isn’t doing it all the time yet but when she does smile it makes my heart melt! It’s worth all of the lack of sleep!

* We have been getting out for walks in the FANTASTIC weather over the past few days. We have made it into the 20’s on more than one day. YAY!

* Old fashioned Golden books, I bought some on Trademe for Grace. It takes me back to my childhood

* This recipe for Amish Chocolate chip cookies from Melissa Goodsell’s blog, it’s the best! Craig thinks they taste just like cookie time cookies.
