Yay for Wills & Kate!

The Royal Wedding has been talked about extensively, tons of documentaries have been made; even a film (which I imagine is rubbish), Wills & Kate’s gorgeous mugs have made it onto almost every object you can think of (including a fridge?!) and a lot of people are quite sick of it all. Well I am not one of them! I, of course, love weddings, am a hopeless romantic, was brought up on fairytales and can’t wait to watch the wedding today! I love that, for a change, we can get excited over an event rather than worry about the state of the country. And I will be partying with my fellow neighbours to celebrate!

Despite their future being a million miles away from ours I love that we can still relate to their relationship. The fact they had ‘a break’ to decide if they really wanted to be together and sensibly waited to get married. They look genuinely in love and I wish them a long and happy life together…

And for any of you having parties today I hope the weather’s wonderful and you all have an awesome time!

Doughnut wheels

Some people out there have some really fantastic ideas. Lorraine, who writes blog Ikatbag, is one of them. When I came across these amazing wooden doughnuts that she’d made I just had to share them. Most of us would see wooden wheels for toys as wooden wheels for toys. But Lorraine saw them as doughnuts! And so got her children involved in a craft to make them. And they look awesome!

I want to make some myself! Love the different coloured doughs and icing and sprinkles. You could have so much fun painting these with your children. For all the info head on over to this post on her blog and then explore the rest of it, you’ll be glad you did.

Adorable Aventine

Today’s beautiful images are of baby boy Aventine that Anna of Ausnippets captured. I wanted to share with you not only the images but the words of both Anna and Aventine’s parents as they are heartfelt and lovely and better than anything I could write…

Babies are such little miracles. They are such little peaceful beings, when you watch them sleep the time goes by endlessly. I could have watched little baby bub Aventine all day and just continued to take photos of him yearning for a smile… but I didn’t quite get one…

Instead I got him at peace… sleeping away…

Nothing in the world can describe the feeling when you watch over a newborn, it’s a new miracle. It’s even more wonderful when you hold him in your arms and you feel his warmth curled up against your heart beat.

This is what I wanted to capture in these photos, his peacefulness, his innocence…

And Aventine’s parents Dylan and Theresa were so pleased with them…

“Your photos really capture a kind of peaceful vulnerability in him. It’s not really about ‘cute’ it’s about his state. Kind of like how he’s living in a really comfortable little bubble, while all the time around him, mum and dad need to work so hard to keep him safe and happy. And all the while, he’s blissfully unaware. The photos are very very appropriate, and really magnifies the feelings that I always have when I watch him sleep.”
