Birthday Wishes xx

April is such a big birthday month in our families. Amongst my husband and I we have all 3 Grandmothers, our Goddaughter, and our own gorgeous Daughter in almost row... Do you have month of birthdays that happens almost all at once too?

 

So today...

We have two very special birthdays today in our family fold, my Grandmother - from mum's side, whom I call simply 'Mum' a nickname too long to explain, also known as Nana to others in the family. We send you much love for a wonderful Happy 86th Birthday today x We love you so very much, and wish for you many wonderful happy & healthy days ahead for years to come.

 

Another special birthday today belongs to the other side of it all - our beautiful god-daughter, Charlotte, who turns a big no.4 today! For such a sweet, clever, beautiful little girl - whom we are always proud to be a special part in your life no matter who big or small. We love you & wish you a very Happy Big Girl 4th Birthday x

 

For each side of the birthday age spectrum each special in it's own right, and each seems to approach with gusto and speed each year!

If you have a family member or special friend's birthday today I hope you have a chance to wish them well, send them love and help to celebrate with them.

Enjoy,

Happy Weekend!

Yay it's the weekend....

For those of you in Australian Daylight Savings states - make sure you put your clock back 1hr - on Sunday morning 2am [or do it before you go to sleep on Saturday evening!] - even thought we lose our evening light, we get an extra hour sleep in and the mornings won't be so tragically dark when I get up at 6am!

What are you up to this weekend?

We have a few things on... we're picking up a pre-loved wooden cubby house from an Ebay auction I won for our little Isabelle - more pics on that project later - very excited. And I am so happy - I am having my gorgeous near 92yr old Grandma Sarah stay with us -  she hasn't seen our 'new-old' home yet and I am dying to show her what we have done so far inside and in the garden. And importantly - where I am going to spoil her rotten with her fave home cooked meals, pink champagne and cosy lie-ins!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for joining me this week at Palatial Living...

Enjoy,

So without exception - I want to wish my [maternal] grandma whom I call 'Mum', also known by our cousin as 'Nana' - a very Happy 84th Birthday today!  

We love you & hope that you have a wonderful day out today!
