Hi! The Little Artist homepage and has been given a bit of refresh. I'm liking these new colours and the simplicity! 

Happy Easter everyone!

Stopping

Life seems to be super busy for everyone at the moment and it feels like our life stepped up another notch recently too. It's great, but yesterday I needed a day to recover. So we just stopped for the day. 

I pottered around the house and left the boys to their own devices. I could hear them talking and laughing and found this lovely scene when I went to check on them. I think they enjoyed being still for the day too!

Birthday week!

Cake #1

We've just wrapped up a busy time for our little family with both of my children's birthdays - 4 days apart.

I wanted to do things differently this year. Last year it was my youngests first birthday so we had a big celebration. It felt rushed and I had major guilt afterwards because I didn't get a chance to properly catch up with everyone. 

So this year we had a family BBQ the weekend before and the kids party the weekend after. We got both sides of our family together and had a great catch up with everyone. Same with the kids party - I actually saw my two boys and got to chat with our friends too.

Cake #2

Pirate and spiderman digging in - the inside was yellow, green and blue

So now the four year old is already talking about his next birthday! Phew.

Franklin Children's Art Festival

Hi, yesterday was the Franklin Children's Art Festival in Pukekohe. It was my first time to this festival and I'm so glad that I made it out there (leaving at 7am on a Saturday morning was a bit different for me!). They had everything from wearable art, African drumming, story telling to flag making using a turn-table!

Such a great event and free! I helped out at the Chalk Art workshop in the morning and loved seeing how the drawings evolved - there were lots of hearts and rainbows!

Debbie.
