365 days ago we went to matching panel and this little koala got stuck with us forever! 🐨✨

With foster to adopt matching panel is sort of just a formality as JJ had been with us since birth. It was so lovely to go and report back on all our adventures so far. Some of the panel were people from our approval panel so it was nice to see them all and for them to see us as a family. 👨‍👩‍👦

It’s sad to think we haven’t seen our SW’s since that day due to Covid. They really become part of your family through the process and we can’t wait to see them some day soon. 💕

Also where has my snuggly little baby gone?!? It’s wild how fast they grow! 💙

I had another bench so I perched myself right on it, with the help of a small stool! This is actually my wardrobe! 🤣

Fridays are my work days, JJ’s off to nursery and I’m head down bum up in the studio getting shit done. Which is why the overalls had to come out today. Like I always say you can’t have an unproductive day wearing overalls. Their magical powers force you to crack on! ✨

And then because we haven’t done #flannelfriday for awhile (like over a year!) I thought we’d bring that back today as well! 👌🏼

I’ve so enjoyed this week. It’s really given me the kick I needed to get out of the lounge wear, get creative and get all the good vibes for the new year flowing. 🌈

Bottom line. Pandemics are hard, lockdowns hard, heck UK winters are hard for this Aussie girl but there’s always joy to be found even if you have to look a little harder sometimes. ☺️

Have a great weekend gang. Stay home, stay safe! 🏡🌈💕

Lockdown day 5,479 🏡 Today we played like ours

Lockdown day 5,479 🏡

Today we played like ours lives depended on it. Dinosaurs, flash cards, block towers, play doh, rice fun, wheel barrow rides, cars. You name it, we did it. Also pretending to nap in the dog bed! 🤷🏻‍♀️ The dog doesn’t sleep in this bed, he’s all about the sofa and cushions. 🐶💕

So today’s real clothes were casual 90’s mum. These mum jeans are so dam comfy I’m annoyed at myself for only just getting on this bandwagon recently. If only I had a sequinned sweater I could channel my inner Beverley Goldberg! 🤣

Also I didn’t go for the mint Aero, I decided it wasn’t essential and as much as I would like to think I’m a bit rebellious I’m a rule follower. 🤪

Today we needed milk so I felt like the grocery store deserved a dress and then I realised it was Inauguration Day and blue felt right! 💙

This idea to get dressed in real clothes everyday has quickly turned into Prue awkwardly perches her self on benches around her house! 🏡🤪

In all seriousness though its been so nice going to bed mentally going through my wardrobe figuring out what I’ll wear tomorrow for my big adventure-to the grocery store. 🤣 I’ve even been busting out bangles and rings because, why not! I haven’t been able to wear any of my beloved earrings because JJ’s a bit grabby and if you’ve ever had and earring ripped from your ear you don’t go back for seconds! 😳

Anyway I hope you’re all well and finding moments of joy even if thats just a nice little chat with the lady on the til while grabbing your milk. ✨
