Ezra is turning ONE, and what better way to celebrate than a ROARING good time with you, our family and friends (along with a few of his raucous dino pals!). Please come and join us at the Norfolk Cafe to celebrate!
As many of you might have guessed, the idea of having a baby shower kinda freaks us out... but as you know we love to occasionally indulge in great food and wine. Sadly the later is not a viable option for all of us right now! So...
SNIPS AND SNAILS!
AND PUPPY DOG'S TAILS!
Please join us in celebrating Alicia's baby shower!
Christmas is under two months away – insert momentary sigh of disbelief and flashes of red felt horror here – bells will soon be ringing and turkeys are preparing themselves for the woodsman’s axe around the world.
There are many things to look forward to this Christmas - heated arguments with our nearest and dearest, two weeks of food comas and now there are also flamingos.
Yup, you heard right... flamingos!
On February 21 2014, Eva and I took the next step in our adventures together when we were married by Pastor Whittaker outside Plantana Condominiums on Seven Mile Beach. Since then we have travelled through Cuba, New Orleans and Los Angeles before returning to Albert Park and planning a party to celebrate with our family and friends.
We are taking a little detour this week, with a quote that never made the final cut for our invites. In the search through our home library for quotes and inspiration I pulled out a book I had read end to end in just over a week earlier in the year. The book titled The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival was written by John Valliant, recounted the extraordinary events surrounding a series of Amur Tiger attacks in a Far East Russian community during 1997. Part thriller, part character study, part cultural documentary The Tiger mesmerised me with it's beauty and mystery.
The brilliant Carl Sagan is into something with this poignant quote from his artillery of awesome quotes. It makes me ponder. It makes me think. It makes me want to throw my Macbook Pro off my lap, get my arse off the couch and sprint around the block looking up at the night sky only to return home and hide under the covers from an unbearable feeling of loneliness.
The day of departure is under two weeks away. Planning is still going on with the list of things to do diminishing then growing again as we remember something else we need to do… or in the case of Virgo's like me, something that needs a little extra love to reach perfection.
Curse the fault in my stars!
So we both love a good tv series. From The X Files to Millennium, Gossip Girl to the Wire, Game of Thrones to Mad Men.
Like the internet-savvy, modern couple that we are – and having been conditioned on the pain of waiting a whole week for the next instalment of 24, (let's face it, having to sit through commercial breaks during 24 was painful) – we now do not download a TV show until the season is almost complete*.
Let's be frank, designing wedding invitations is a daunting task. Especially if you happen to be a graphic designer, Virgo and the groom to be. Its a once in lifetime project. So it was with a slight sense of dread mingled optimism that I opened my Moleskin and put 5mm fineliner to paper to begin thinking of ideas for our invitations.
6 months to go, according to my non-existent, totally unofficial B-day* wedding countdown and plans are nicely falling into place. With most of the "big" stuff decided on and locked in, it's time to shift my focus to some more of the fun, finer details. One of which, as the title of this post would suggest, is the guest goodie bags.
