If your a friend of mine your probably saying "What Pantry?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep its true...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really have a pantry - it's really a bookshelf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its just the way my tiny kitchen is set out, there isn't room for one. So when we moved in over 10 years ago we stuck a cheap bookshelf in the only space there was, and that was it. I have this theory - the less money we spend on fixing and updating what we have the better. I can wait, its been a while but I can wait... why fix something half way when I can wait a few more years and have what I <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/120400990008149055/">really want</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this means all my dry storage is on show and every so often it really annoys me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I decided to make it pretty, so it looked like I had made it a bookshelf on purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found these beautiful Mason Jars in a very cute Japanese $2.80 store (yes everything is $2.80) in my local shopping strip. I'm going back for more this week as I've taken a liking to them and food just looks so pretty stored in them.</div>

I just put the labels together using Word and printed them out - they aren't waterproof but I figured I could just print them again if I needed too. As I already had labels - this little organising project cost under $10 and about half an hours work. Its amazing how something so simple can totally change the look of something.</div>

There are the occasions when it all falls apart but most of the time its quite an enjoyable experience.<br />
My <a href="http://espressomelbourne.com/cafes-that-matter/bentleigh/bent-espresso/">local cafe</a> know my girls by name and actually smile when we arrive, scoop up Evie for a cuddle and pass out complimentary marshmallows but unfortunately its not always like this elsewhere. I totally understand the whole eating out with kids debate but seriously if your respectful of others dining and clean up after any major mess they make it really isn't that hard. <a href="http://littleeatsreviews.blogspot.com.au/2010/01/little-eats-top-tips-when-eating-out.html">Little Eats</a> has a great article here that I totally agree with - if fact while your there and your from Melbourne, pick out some great places to eat as well. Its usually the first place I look when brainstorming for a new place to visit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went to <a href="http://www.cheekychinos.com.au/dev/">Cheeky Chino's</a> over Easter break and all I can say is why hasn't someone done this before. Its totally a great place to start with, if your building your "eating out" confidence. What amazing service, yummy food and most importantly perfect coffee. There were TWO staff actually playing with the girls in the play area while the hubby and I had lunch and somebody helped me by taking the pram to the pram parking area and then helped set us up at the table. The food was just as good as any other high end "hipster" eatery and the fab kids menu had plenty of healthy choices (not a fried food to be seen). We enjoyed a delicious chicken sandwich and toasted foccacia, 4 coffees (yes we went back for seconds) and Lou enjoyed the choice of six different babychinos types and a yummy pink iced tea cake. The toilets are family friendly with a place to change nappies if needed.<br />

They have thought of absolutely everything here including plastic cups for the water just for the kids and sanitiser for bare feet in the play area. They only negative I can see that once word gets out about this place I'm sure it will be packed daily.<br />
We will be back very soon.<br />

Rain was predicted all week for our party but thankfully it never arrived. The wind made a mess of my streamer backdrop but that's all that really went wrong so I couldn't complain. The husband and I decided back when Louise had her first birthday that we would go all out for our children's first party. We don't do religious events or the like, so we really wanted a chance to celebrate our child's first year and thank our loved ones for being apart of such a special time in our lives. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I started planning (and saving) a couple months back - knowing that the guest list would probably tip the 100 mark, I wanted to be as organised as possible.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A week before the party I suddenly realised we would have about 35 kids with not much to do. The best decision I made was ask the Kindy mums if anyone knew a good entertainer - <a href="http://www.bennyblitz.com/">Benny Blitz</a> had just done a session at the local hairdresser for a Shave for a cure fundraiser. He was fantastic - the kids loved his tricks and he had such a talent for making very cool balloon creations. Honestly if an entertainer is in your party budget I totally recommend getting one. It saves the time, stress and hair loss of planning games a million times over. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did organise a photo booth area though. I wish we had had more time to use it because the photos I did get were awesome. I haven't had the heart to take it down yet. Maybe I can get visitors to pose to I have an excuse to keep it there?</div><br />

I've decided to take part in Fat Mum Slim's Photo a day challenge over on instagram. Amazingly there are hundreds of partcipants over 30,000 photos already (and thats just on <a href="http://instagr.am/">instagram</a>). My aim is to do a photo update every Saturday here for those not playing on Istagram.<br />
So here are my first 7 photos....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another year done and dusted... so without sounding like a broken record, it really is scary how fast they are flying. 2011, was an extremlly busy one for us with the arrival of Little Miss Evie (or shescreamsalot - as I like to call her) but it was also a great one. I feel fortunate to have such a wonderfully supportive hubby (most of the time) and that we are all happy and healthy. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Louise starts Kinder in 2012 so its a big year for her and somehow I managed to sign myself up as the President for Kinder parent committee ~ so both of us will be stepping into unfamiliar territory. I will need to remember how to chair meetings and speak to adults professionally again<br />
~ this has me slightly worried.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Evie will turn 1 in April, so I really do want to soak up as much baby as she has left and I also look forward to spending time with just her when Lou is at Kindy. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Its quite possible the hubby has a job move this year so I really want to remember to be there for him. Its so easy to forget that when your busy chasing kids around.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We meet an number of special little babies early in the year and I really want to wish their safe arrival and can't wait to soak up a bit of newborn again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I so want to step up the exercise routine in 2012 - being fit and healthy for my family is a priorty this year!!! Do. not. slack. off. Linda....!! You know how good it makes you feel and is an excellent example for your girls (a bit of creche did wonders for Lou ~ Evie will eventually like it too). I may even become accountable to it via this blog - if I can get the courage. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On that note, naptime for the girls is just about over and I need to add a heap if whipped cream goodness to the most awesome <a href="http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2006/10/mocha-cheesecake-slice-recipe.html">Mocha Cheescake Slice</a> for our little get together we are having tonight. So, whatever you are doing or wherever you are tonight, I hope its a good one. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you for visiting my somewhat negleted blog this year and have loved and appreciated all the comments that were made throughout the year. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It ended up being quite an event and once again there never seems enough time to take any decent photos so this is the best of the lot.<br />
I love entertaining and really at the moment the kids birthdays are the only excuse I really have. Louise and I made all the decorations and boy was it fun setting up her fairy princess kingdom.<br />
I am still sweeping up rogue glitter 8 days later. She said it was her best day ever so it was probably all worth it.<br />

Also, I got the scalloped circles I used in the decorating from <a href="http://www.craftumi.com.au/storecatalog.asp?userid=1585">A Scrap of Paper</a> on <a href="http://www.craftumi.com.au/index.asp">Craftumi</a> - Kerri was very helpful and I practically had my custom order the next next day.<br />

Louise was lucky enough to have a very special visitor by the name of <a href="http://fairypartymelbourne.com.au/">"Ms. Fairy Floss"</a> all the way from Fairy land, attend her day ~ she really was remarkable. Lou got a beautiful letter in the mail from her a few days before the party and her facepainting skills were wonderful. Having an entertainer for the 20+ kids was the best idea ever and really took the pressure off. It was so nice to actually have a bit of time to enjoy the day. <br />

Little Miss Evie will be six months old next week - OMG how its flying!! She has just started solids and eats like she has been doing it forever. She is a big giggler but very impatient and bellows out for me constantly. She has been having major separation anxiety but secretly I'm kind of enjoying it. Second time round, I at least know this time doesn't really last that long. <br />
What I did forget or perhaps block out were these EARLY morning starts ARGH! they are hard... I can't really complain though she will at least give me a good 7 hours - most nights.<br />
<br />
I love watching her watch her sister. Those little peepers just follow her around the room and her face lights up when Louise talks to her.... That's by far the best.<br />

We are getting ready for
someone's party here .... Lou is just a little excited and has been
helping me get some decorations ready. We are being super original and
going with a fairy theme - Fairy love kicked in a couple of months back
and she is mad on them. <br />

We've
been making cupcake toppers, goodie bag fillers and a heap of
decorations. Its been nice to do something together during Evie's nap
time. I must remember to take some photos this year.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We kicked off party season this weekend with a fab party of a
dear friend's little one on Saturday and on Sunday we celebrated the terrible Melbourne
weather by going out for Lunch with some friends. We really wanted to eat at our <a href="http://thepourkids.com.au/">new favourite place</a> but it must be everyone else's favourite new place too because it was packed with a 20min wait, so we went <a href="http://www.liarliarcafe.com.au/">here</a> instead which was yummo. Oh and I bought this.... how cute!!<br />
