As fate may have it...

We are pregnant!

Baby number three is well on the way!

The little miracle is due on my best friend Bec's birthday - 23rd January, I am 100% convinced it is Bec telling us it is ok to be happy, she is at peace. 

We are currently at 23 weeks pregnant and already the strength in this little ones kicks is enough to take my breath away! 

We chose not to find out the gender at our 20 week ultrasound, as this one is our last little bub I want to keep it a joyous surprise for when they make their arrival. 

I have decided to have a baby sprinkling for this little one and have been busy planning for the little gathering we are planning on having in late November.

I am hoping to post some more pictures and posts along the way!

For my darling Becca 23/01/1988 - 08/04/2014

Last week on Wednesday morning I received some absolutely heartbreaking news. My beautiful best friend had passed away in the late hours of Tuesday evening. So this post is tribute to an amazing woman who brightened up my life and filled my world with love and hope. Bec was my maid of honour at my wedding and the person who I talked to everyday. Im not sure what I am going to do without her, all I do know is that my life is so much better having known and loved her.

 

I will forever miss you

I will love you forever and always xx

Wedding!!!!!!!!!!! (part 2)

As previously posted, we got married back in September. I have been meaning to get around to posting more pictures, so here are some photos of our ceremony!

I have to say that our wedding was one of the best days of my whole entire life. I know, its awfully cliche, and I really never thought I would be saying it but it truly was. I am so glad we spent the money to have everything perfect. I think I really would have regretted it if we did get married at the registry office like we had wanted to do so many times throughout planning the wedding due to all the stress!!! 

Matilda & Nathaniel walking down the isle with both my mum & Grant's mum

Our wedding Arch consisted of two antique ladders with lace bunting tied to it. Matilda pushed Nathaniel down the isle in an old fashion dolls pram. The flowers in her hair I purchased from etsy  and can be found here. Her full tulle skirt I purchased from Little Chiyo. The top was made by my Besties mum!

My little brother read “Union from The Beginning to End” by Robert Fulghum. He became emotional halfway through which made half our guest cry. It meant the world to me that he did a reading for us. He is an amazing little brother!

My stepdad, Paul, walked me down the isle to  a cover of "Into my Arms" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds played by our string quartet. By Bridesmaid (top) and Maid of Honour (bottom) wore gorgeous yellow dresses and had their hair done in curls to the side! We stuck with natural looking makeup.

My Boy! Here he is wearing his handmade suit that I purchased from Etsy to match his dads suit. It can be found here.

After Tilds walked her brother down she walked back up with a basket of petals to throw on the white carpet. This was entirely her idea and it was absolutely precious to watch!

Our amazing bridal party! I was so proud to have the most important people in my life there with me on the day.  My treasured Groomsman Trenchie (Far left), My little brother, My gorgeous husband, My two beautiful children, My Maid of Honour and Bestest friend ever Bec, and my bridesmaid Cassie!

This photo pretty much sums up our day. Fun, happy and carefree! 

This was taked just after my lil bro did his reading. 

My bestie also did a reading for us. She read "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" by Louis De Bernieres. 

We chose to do a hand tying ceremony. Grants little brother helped!

And of course, the kiss!

All our guests, our little family and signing of the registrar

Oh yeh!

So, New year means I'm taking parting in the Organised Housewife's

2014 DECLUTTER 52 THINGS IN 52 WEEKS CHALLENGE!!!!!!!

Yayyyyy

So, first things first, cause im a bit slack at going out and purchasing a black print cartridge, here are my household goals for 2014!

1. I want to feel relaxed and happy while I’m at home.
2. I want to spend more time playing with the kids.
3. I want an area of the home where I can sew without random excess clutter impacting on me!
4. I want to organise my kitchen first.
5. I always lose my clean clothes in the ginormous pile of washing that is my laundry.
6. I want to be organised by Nathaniel's birthday party in February.
7. The most disorganised cupboard in my home is pantry.
8. Something that I don’t need anymore , but am having trouble parting with is sentimental items I have no need for anymore.

Tonight I cleared off the noticeboard for when I finally get around to getting my printer cartrige, and may i just say, my gosh it looks so much better having a nearly EMPTY noticeboard with nothing on it! This weekend I think I am going to give it a splash of paint as it's the lovely old school brown corkboard.. Maybe I could throw some brightly coloured fabric on it instead?

Will post pics on monday. In the meantime, I shall be posting my 2 part wedding post (Yes, I know, very delayed, but better late then never!!!)

Cheers!
