Beautiful Baby...

A Gift from daddy (among many!) from his trip to Orlando.

These fab knitted pants & cardy are knitted by Nanny Carol...I love both & would love knitted leggings for myself like this!

Lake Ontario on a sunny winter's day

After taking a huge walk to our local hospital for a check up and taking my mum through high park, we walked down to Lake Ontario....It look's like it was a lovely sunny day so I left the gloves at home but it was absolutely freezing. I have to say this little guy above (Highland Cattle) is just so adorable & I wanted to take him home! I just think he is so cute & is like a big teddy bear.

Starbucks treat...

With a Starbucks across the road we are regular customers and my mum came back with this delightful cupcake & my favourite Caramel Macchiato x

Winter Walk in High Park

Faux Green & Cream...

The best thing I've done re: (decor wise) lately was invested in some fake flowers! Normally I would be all for fresh flowers however lately with the birth of Isabella I received lots of beautiful bunches of flowers & was so sad to see them wilt so quickly with the heating on daily....so one day while passing one of my favourite shops http://www.write-impressions.ca/ I noticed these hydrangeas in the window & loved them! I have a thing about cream & green at the moment..Anyway the flowers are fab & just so pretty on the dining room table. I also purchased Faux apples that look & feel so realistic & go really well with the green/cream theme...

Another great purchase from http://www.write-impressions.ca/ This vintage map of Italy so loving this shop..

left over pine cones from Christmas

Love Sweet Love...

All you need is love! xo

Valentines Day in our house...

A special Valentines day card from Isabella to daddy...

I bought my mum Mor Products for Valentine's Day surprisingly from Chapters of all places one of my favourite book shops. I love Mor products & remember buying marshmallow body cream when we lived in Sydney, I just adore the decorative packaging & beautiful designs. http://www.morcosmetics.com/collection/10/marshmallow (sorry mum...as you can see I ate your chocolate man!..)

A friend from Kildare Ireland popped over to visit Isabella & gave her this fantastic T-shirt from Hairy baby a great T-shirt company from Cork Ireland..& with my husband coming from Cork this is the perfect T-shirt for his daughter! Rebel Og - Cork is known as the rebel county & Og meaning young in Gaelic..& Red for the Rebels...very cute indeed we absolutely love it! Check it out www.hairybaby.com

Nanny Carol arrives to meet Baby Isabella....

My super warm two in one hat which converts into a scarf! Thanks mum I love it & as you can she below she is in the process of making me a second....The red one is made from Alpaca wool & is knitted double so is extra warm for these Brisk  Canadian days we are having.

My mum arrived two days after the birth of Isabella..Its been so wonderful having her here & I'm so lucky with all her help since we have no other family in Canada she made the trip from Australia to help out & meet her new delightful grand daughter. Its so lovely just relaxing at home & listening to French Music...sipping Vanilla coffees...taking fabulous pics of Isabella and enjoying mums company while she is knitting  amazing scarves & hats for these crazy winter storms we are having...she has adjusted to the winter temps considering she left Australian temps in mid summer of 38 degrees and has come to - 15!! temps.....and has her first ever snow boots and snow jacket.
