Propaganda and book publication

 Thanks to a little inspiration from my bestie.....

I'm 'publishing' a book......

A photo book that is ;)


One that holds a really REALLY important message for one of the little people in our home.

Here's a peak at some of the pages......

...............................................................................................................

My Name is Jasmin

I am a very happy little girl

These are my brothers

 

And this is my sister

We are a happy family

We love each other very much,

But, sometimes I get angry and I shout at my family

and sometimes, I hurt my brothers.

This makes them feel very sad

 

It makes me feel sad too

I want to help my family be happy,

Because I love them.

When I start to feel angry, there are things I can do to feel better

I can count to three,

and take a Big deep breath.

Or I can sit in the calm down area, and read a book. 

I can tell my mummy why I feel angry,

Or give someone I love a big hug.

These things always help me feel better

And then I am my happy self again, and that makes my family feel happy too!!

------------------------------------

I really REALLY hope the propaganda contained within this little book heavily influences the intended reader of it :)

Freebies

 http://spreets.com.au

 I may have just given you a link to your newest favourite website. Ever. Ok maybe not ever. But you should absolutely go (like right now) and check this site out. (this is sounding somewhat like spam but it's not. I promise  :)

Spreets is a site that offers vouchers (of up to 90% off) for anything from day spa's (my sister is currently being pampered as I type) to fancy restaurants on the Harbour to photo books, whale watching......pretty much anything you can think of! (even house cleaning - I've been waiting for that one ;)

It covers all of Australia and everyday they have a different 'deal' on offer.

The only caution I would issue is that everything is so FANTASTICALLY reduced you may want to buy it all......so maybe only check it once a week :)

Happy Shopping :)

xo

And just so you know this really is Felicity and my blog hasn't been hijacked by some marketing hacker, here's a pic from our daily 1:30pm photo shoot......

ps) Chad you are also welcome and highly encouraged to go check it out and purchase ANY of the pampering vouchers that you see ;)

Springtime Snow

Purple snow gently falling on the last day of Spring.....

 

I hope it doesn't dissipate too soon!

{and this one is my fav. when I saw this car I stopped and asked the owner if I could photograph his yard.

So happy he allowed the juxtaposition of this scene to be captured}

Week-ending

Camping with our favourite {Sydney} cousins......

 lovely scenic drive filled with beautiful cumulus clouds

I think I'll add some more pics later......

15 weeks......or so I thought

I came on here to finish my 15 week update on Lil, but just realised that's tomorrow she's actually 19 weeks.

What???. 19 weeks. How did this happen?? 

How did she go from this; my smallest baby.....

to this, my bald-est baby......

to this (today); my most 'butter-ball-ish' baby.....

all in 19 weeks.

I am in denial! Really I am. It just goes WAY too fast and this little chubs of ours can no longer be called a new born. 

I have a baby. But not a newborn. ahhh sigh!

So the 15 week update went something like this.....

you sleep 11 hours at night

you still don't really ever cry (I wonder if this will change when you start teething?)

You are SO chubs. we love it.

You happily lye anywhere and just look around

You love being near people

We threw out all our 'blubble blowers' because you blow them for us (ok we didn't really but we could :)

You can roll from your tummy to your back

You no longer sleep on your tummy (because of above)

When u wake up in the morning after your mammoth sleep, you lay in bed cooing and gurgeling. When I come to pick you up, you flash me the best.smile.ever. Ever.
Even with our early feeding woes, you are my easiest baby by far!

At 19 weeks your stats haven't changed that much.....

you still sleep 11 hours at night sometimes 12

You are still feeding from me {which is a little miracle that I am grateful for everyday}

You have started laughing. We LOVE it.
You love to grab things
The octopus toy is your MOST favourite!
You love to smile
And you are still celebrated like a 'star' everyday. Exactly how it should be!

"Watcha think mummy"

This is what happens when I leave the room for 10 seconds while hand painting......

Love how perfectly she imprinted even her little fingers.

All in a days work

We like to start them young around here.......

 

Jasmin's 3 official "contributing"' jobs

 - put the dishwasher on (taken very seriously and don't-you-even-think-about-putting-that-tablet-in-the-dishwasher-and-pressing-that-buttton unless you are Jasmin {otherwise you will be in big tantrum trouble}

- push the chairs in at table

- wipe the table

And this one is her unofficial job. Putting away the cutlery. Done because her brother asks her in his sweetest voice if she wants to help him. And she almost always does.
