my fav part of the house........

yup thats right a booth in the kitchen......
we have always said we would love booth seats, whenever we go to a restaurant/cafe
and there are booth seats {thats where we will gravitate toward}
its like our little hub where we gather round with friends and chill.....
or the three of us sit and catch up on our days events.....
where is your fav spot in your house???????

+ some more pics of the kitchen {such a fun space} so not modern but quirky and open i just love it

all the space, so much fun to do baking etc, zeke stands on the booth seat and
we've been baking almost every week..........

so theres another sneek peek.....
hope you've all had a fab weekend we went to a benefit/gala at carousel in albert park supporting a good cause and i had the red hill markets on sat and sunday we went a picked up the
caravan we were given, we went and thanked the olderly couple and they just
loved zekky and wished us many happy memories holidaying in the caravan.......loads of fun times
ahead me thinks......so this week i'm gonna give it a clean out and greg will take it to work
to assess what work needs to be done on it {watch this space}
have a wonderful week smooch to all lisa xx

celebrated eleven years married.............

i really can't believe eleven years {25 nov 2000} has gone by already, it truely doesn't feel like that long..........
i love that we have grown together, and alot of that has been a hard slog but we've gotten through
things and they have made us stronger, with greg i feel like we can take on the world {together}
we are both so so different but our strengths help each others weakness's
eg greg is patient and i was never.......i've learn't and feel like some of that patience has rubbed off on me {not at all times} but mostly......
i hope the next 11 years will be great and i love doing life with this man......
hope you had a wonderful weekend

other photos from here ps...have your noticed i always have some form of food in my finds??????

i just love christmas

i just love christmas and all that it holds.......this year i've gone plain with a splash of green.......

and our little tradition for zeke is every year he gets an ornament that hangs on the tree and when he leaves home, he'll have is own collection.....however not sure at 18 or so if he'd like that, but its a cute tradition for now....his first one above is a nz tiki, then an orange ball

and this year a star.........so many posts at the moment about christmas and i love reading everyones little traditions.....as you can see this year we have white twigs {this is the 3rd time we have used this option} because we are going back to nz in a few days, it's a little bit silly buying a tree etc if were not gonna be here.....

i just wondered who else has a real tree???? i was over at melli's design and noticed a real tree but most others don't.........we always get a real tree too {poor greg with hayfever} i'd love to know your preference and why!!!!!!! i have hummed and harred about getting a fake one {because of the hayfever}

enjoy your wednesday and smile at someone today {a big smile} you know the kind!!!!!!!
