question : do you have artwork/decor in your toilet????

i know such a random question.......
but do you have artwork/decor in your toilet????
when the photographers were here from the herald sun, i had to chuckle at myself
because throughout my house i have loads of art, ceramics {my fav} and bits and pieces
and low in behold i even have it in the dunny, outhouse, toilet...
seriously we are in a rental and its not real pretty {green unit, brown seat} so mumma had to
do something hehehehe

if we are honest how much time does one spend in the toilet and while your there why
not look at something pretty or something to flick through

its interesting how some toilets, {like recently at the chaplains dinner at the hyatt
the girls were saying how lovely the toilets were and yes they were hotel quality}
are so beautiful you rave to everyone back at the table/bar etc
public toilets, do you read the writing on the wall?????
in a mall, do you read the adverts on the back of the door????
i am one of those that do.........


few pics in my toilet

how nice has the sunshine been today????
enjoy your wed night lisa xx

baby jets first sleepover............

yes it was a busy weekend, but to be honest such a fun weekend.......
friday night was the first time we had jet {my nephf} over for a sleep over, zeke was so excited
all day he kept saying, "can we go and get him now"
once we picked him up we the four of us went on an adventure to bunnings {oh what fun we had}
do you like bunnings??????? i love bunnings we strolled around aimlessly, we swung on the swing seats, something me and zeke have done for years, jet loved it.....
then it was home for dinner + bathtime + bed
jet was a pure delight, i miss my nieces and nephew so much and having a little nephew around the corner is lovely......
then it was off to the skate park sat morning.......
looking forward to cuddles tonight {family dinner night}

then sat arvo our lovely lissie came around for a birthday dinner for her, we just love spending time with lissie and it was so nice to just love on her

then sunday we were all packed up and off to the flemington markets, loved seeing familiar faces and love it when friends pop in, its like a meeting place hehehe

here are a few other snaps of the weekend

for lissies birthday dinner, we had corn fritters, topped with cheese, red onion, tomato, advo {in lemon juice + splash of tabasco sauce} coriander, salad, bacon + sour cream
seriously yummy my mouth is watering while i type........
and for dessert pav with cream cheese frosting + cream, raspberries + toasted almonds

road trip to pick up gregs dream car....

what a weekend........
i had the red hill markets on saturday which was so good getting back into the swing of
things, i hadn't done a craft market in a few months, off to flemington in a few weeks also...
then 5.30am {on fathers day} greg, zekky and myself headed off on a road trip
to mt. gambier to pick up gregs dream car.......
he has wanted this car {oh for about 18 years} it is so much his dream car its the colour he's wanted
and everything about it is down to the 'T', he is one shuffed lad........
we had the best trip and i forgot how much i miss road trips, we used to do them a lot in nz
we arrived in mt. gambier in good time and the couple we bought the car off were so lovely and
friendly, i think hubbs might have another car buddy

then it was off to warrnambool to the camping ground for the night SO MUCH FUN......
we caught up with friends who have recently moved there and their two adorable little girls
zeke loved it......we did so much in such a small amount of time and yet
we had such a relaxing time away

+ some more pics of the dream car & time away

this is the face as we left warrnambool the next day.....he really did not want to go

he keep saying, "go back, please go back"

we had to assure him we were going camping very soon, so looks like a little

weekend away very soon in the tent it is......i do love that he loves camping

have a wonderful week lisa xx

2012 chaplaincy dinner @ the hyatt

very blurry but was the best of the lot and i really wanted to put it up..........

wow what a night a group of us were invited by the lovely brooks to come to this event at the hyatt

last night, it was about chaplaincy in schools access ministries.......

as i spent time listening to what it was about and the help they do give, it got me thinking about

when i was at school....

i don't remember having anyone at school to talk to {other than your friends and half the time i think we lead each other astray} and wondered if some of the decisions i had made would of been any different having a {go to person through school to talk to}....

what did you have at your schools??????

and did you find it useful?????

it makes me think about it more too having a little person who will be off to school in the

near future, and knowing that he's not always going to come to us for advice so who will be the person/people he talks to?????  

they will impact him massively 

+ few more photos of the night

was such a great night, apollo astronaut charlie duke spoke {made my eyes go shiny} just listening to his story too cool.........

the food was soooooooo yummy and the company was even better, 

thanks to muz for driving us all in from the peninsula

and loved the discussions on our little journey too......

hope your all having a wonderful tuesday

what happened on your monday night????

smooch lisa xx
