Admire - that is the word on the street

Hey chickies.  Hope you had a great weekend.  We sure did.  We have been so lucky weather wise in Melbourne that it doesn't even really feel like Winter.....I hope I didn't speak too soon.

So word on the street is that the new word over at Bird Is The Word is ADMIRE.  You have to pop over and have a looksee at the other fab creations from our DT.

I created this:


























There are some things that challenge us as parents such as toilet training right?  Well I think trying to teach our children to tie shoelaces is right up there.  It's hard, especially for little boys and girls.  But, DS persisted and he was determined to work it out which he did and that is something I Admire.

And did you see in my closie that gorgeous lollipop?  It is one of Charm's Creations and they are just amazing.  I ordered about 5 packets a sale ago and I have to tell you that they are even more gorgeous IRL.  The packaging, the quality, the teeny tiny stitching, the added paperclips, all of it.  If you don't already, you soooooo have to buy some.

Enjoy!

    Shoe laces are the hardest to learn (well alongside a neat pony tail for girls!) - what a great subject and I love how you worked ADMIRE into it.

    Blogger is being painful and wont let me comment under my name, so I changed my name to Anon. Y. Mous! Just for today!
