BluRay is Effie -

My favourite character of all time is Mickey Mouse himself - the original and the best! I fell more in love with him last year, when hubby and I were finally able to take our kids to Disneyland for a holiday. Having a cuddle with Mickey made me feel like a 5 year old again!

DVD is Diana Davis Mawson

We are currently having a love affair with all things Disney in our house and really whats not to love?  A bank account has been started for a trip to Disneyland to really cement the affair. Until then we are watching all the movies. Lola and I were lucky enough to be invited to a launch of 101 Dalmatians to DVD and Blu Ray. We had a lovely girlie morning in Melbourne where we got to cuddle some gorgeous pups and meet Cruella.






Prior to our adventure we watched 101 Dalmatians 1 and 2 and really enjoyed them. There is such an innocence to those old movies and even though the new animation technology blows your mind it is nice to go back and see the original stuff. I highly recommend getting these DVD's for your kids library.

Take a peek at this preview.

My Gorgeous Girls celebrated their 7th Birthday today with 12 of their friends. Rainbows were the theme which was loads of fun to organise.



The birthday cake made by Katie's Cake Creations was an incredible centrepiece and tasted just as amazing. Katie also made gorgeous pots of gold cake pops with little rainbows on them.








No party is complete without fairy bread and so perfect for a rainbow theme. Each year we have to change how we do the cake, this year had to be separate singings and the oldest (Bella) had to go first.

These parties do take it out of me but all their squeals of delight when their friends arrive and their excitement level is all worth it. I say every year we will do it every 2nd year but in 6 months time I am sure I will be planning again.

What an awesome day it was on Sunday. The night before each event is always a nervous one, wondering if this is the time that no one will show up but you never fail to disappoint me and turned up in droves. It was so busy for most of the day but i did manage to get a spot of shopping in and every time I am blown away by the quality and creativity of all the stall holders.




As this event grows there are more and more people that work the day to make it all happen so I want to thank my awesome team who do such a great job that I am left to do what I do best and that is run the show. Special thanks to Bess who manages to jump into my head and know what needs to be done.

A huge thank you to the amazing Gordon Institute Girls who came up with the dream catcher concept for their work placement. They made each and every one and it looked amazing.

The Craft Classes were introduced and had a great response, we hope to be able to run lots of fun and interesting classes at future events.



I came across an amazing organisation in January The Hunger Project who I am so proud to now be supporting through Piccadilly. I sincerely thank everyone who made a donation because we managed to raise $2132 and I cant begin to tell you how proud it makes me. Last year 73 cents of every dollar made it on the ground and this year its looking like 80 cents. Being a part of ending world poverty and hunger is an amazing thing. My goal is to raise $5000 by the end of the year and have even larger goals next year. If anyone would like to donate anything you can do so through this link.



The next Piccadilly is on Sunday 25th November but be sure to check out our new venture Three Little Birds on Saturday 1st September.
