I would like to take a moment to say my love and thoughts go out to all those who are or have been affected by the recent attacks on Paris. It is such a horrible thing to happen, and to one of the most beautiful places in the World. I am joining millions of people around the world and #PrayingforParis. My daughter has a Paris theme bedroom and earlier this year celebrated her 10th Birthday with a Paris theme, so she is feeling very sad about the news and like many others, is asking the question WHY? I don't think we will ever no why.
Here's what I've been sharing on my Instagram this week and what we are Currently up to...
Organising: my Christmas decorations using this amazing Christmas Ornament Storage Box. Earlier this week, I gave one away on my Facebook page. I have another one to give away this week - so if you are in New Zealand, head over to my Facebook page and keep an eye out.
Getting: #inthepicture with my kids. You can read about it HERE.
Looking: for Rainbows and Stars, thanks to this lovely quote.
Loving: my new travel mug from Warehouse Stationery (NZ). It's so pretty!
Laughing: at Master M bouncing on this 'Bouncy Buddy'. We were at Miss B's school Athletics Day and spotted them a mile a way! Master M absolutely LOVED it, so we went to the store and bought a red dinosaur for him to play with at home. Even Miss B loves bouncing on it!
Making: Marble Playdough
Watching: my partner's parents play Lawn Bowls. We are no strangers to the 'green' because my parents also play Bowls. We had such a nice day, visiting our friends and family yesterday.

Playing: with this awesome Sand and Water Table I got from #KMART for under $30! I couldn't wait till Christmas - Master M LOVES water play, so it's an early Christmas present from all of us. A perfect gift idea for a water-loving toddler.
And one last thing before I go...
