Sustainable living and conscious play options. Fostering fun in an environmentally and budget friend

23/01/2024

I can confirm that walks that you did as a kid MIGHT seem a little different 20 years later, with a baby strapped to ya 🤣
Still a supreme way to spend maternity leave, hang with friends and move some of those muscles SCREAMING from yesterdays thousands of stairs at the Omanawa falls track 🙃

Swims also help.
Always.

Totally recommend this track, 1-1.5 hours each way, slippery +++++ when wet, and particularly muddy in parts, and as long as you’re not Arthur that’s not a problem 🤣 IYKYK

The Cuckoos Calling - first book of a 3 part Series.
4.5/5 stars.
Easy read.
Well written.
Great “who dun’it” with enough buildable/developing story from the sidelines to promote intrigue.
I will for sure read the rest of the series!

The real MVP of summer for any water baby…
The youth neo wake-vest.
(Currently on special!)

Why we love it:
It’s low profile meaning Arthur can manoeuvre easily in it!
Pretty quick drying.
Easy to get on and off (Arthur can do it himself).
Dries fast.
Packs flat/small - it’s been to New Caledonia, Fiji + hangs in the boot for whenever spontaneous adventures may arise!
SUPER BOYANT.
Looks “cool”.

We use it for:
Pool play,
Boats,
Jumps and extreme water activities,
Extra flotation security when walking around the boat/jetties etc.
**it isn’t a LIFE JACKET but it is a supremely versatile bouncy aid!

This is our 2nd full summer and it’s still going HARD (and has been loved HARD!) and will have plenty of life for Banksy when he is ready for it!

This guy is literally the best little tato ray of sunshine ✨

WHOLEY smokes it was a ride.
But we are all here, in one piece (finally 🥴).
And immensely happy with this guy and all that he brings (mainly in bucket loads of chill factor) to our whanau 🥰

My word Banksy, holidays look damn good on 3 month you!

PSA these sinking pool toys from .nz also make excellent palaeontology play on the beach, they’re super cute and easy to grab AND DONT HOLD WATER 👏🏼

(And we’re about $6 if Larry the elf’s accounting practices are correct).

💍 ♻️Can we just have a moment to TOTALLY FLIPPEN MARVEL at handiwork?! ♻️ 💎

Wholleeeyyyyy dazzling reindeer baubles THE SKILLS THAT KELLY HAS ARE OFF THE CHARTS!

📕 STORY TIME 📖
I’d outgrown/evolved from my OG rings, and IMO as people and their relationships evolve/change/grow so should other parts of us. Jewellery for me should tell a story and be a reflection of that growth as a team and it’s ok if things change!

So that’s when I ??accosted?? 🤣 with a dream. I wanted to use my recycled gold (found gardening years ago in a flat LOL) and reset my solitaire claw engagement into a bezel + I wanted a thick, low profile band like my husbands to link in.
It was no drama and lots of fun!

Kelly I had a bloody BLAST doing it, chatting through concepts and basically becoming pals now, and I’m in awe of the fact that THESE ARE MINE! And I feel so luxe it’s beyond reason and has such a fun story!

Kelly and conspired against me and surprised me with them being ready for this trip and I’m beyond thrilled ✨

SUPPORT SMALL LOCAL CREATORS
They have magic hands, and minds.
And support of them truly means the world (plus you’ll probs end up with something exponentially cooler than going elsewhere!!!)

The heart is a star - Megan Rogers

My latest completed read on my

I give this one a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5
Overall it’s nicely written, an easy read with some quite beautiful poetic moments and a few little mysteries of a girls childhood. The story is pretty good (TW features a few kinds of abuse), and is easily consumable for the upcoming festive season.

I suspect that this ensemble (sans safari hat) will be on repeat this festive season!

I urge you to lurk .wardrobe.marketplace kids section for some 15/10 treasures!

This (in excellent condition) was brought to my attention (thanks ) and I made an offer and scored it for $25 including postage!!!!
(How excellent are these unprompted model poses 🤣)

👏🏼 BE PROUD GABBY STROUD 👏🏼
(It’s a rhyme and you’ll get why that relevant if you’ve read the book 🤣)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars from me.

I ABSOLUTELY CONSUMED THIS BOOK, I also have never loved a character as much as I love Lionel 🥹.

Totally recommend.
A lovely easy read (similar writing style if you liked the Dry).
Excellent character development.
Waves of emotion (I shed a tear, I lol’d and everything i between).
Thought provoking.
Relatable.

Also my first book read on my (purchased on sale from ) I thought that all of these book fiends ( I’m looking at you 👀 ) were MAD…
But I apologise for my wrong-doings… you were in fact very right. And I am a full blown convert!

I’ve been wanting a mellow yellow McAlipine Crown Lynn jug FOR AN AGE (we’ve always had one as a kid and it’s just one of those things that I decided I needed as an adult) - they often go for MOON BEAMS (like $300-$600) but this ended up costing me just a fraction - plus the $$$ went to hospice 🕊️

I’ve also wanted a vintage Caroma utility stool (for practicality purposes… plus they’re rad) for about 3 years 🤣

Low and behold after YEARS of ✨manifesting✨ / lurking like a pest on marketplace, in op shops and I FINALLY found the dynamic duo!

Jug from via trademe.
Stool $5 from
Proteas (that I enjoyed fresh and then dried) from
