Looking for a DIY project to take your child's birthday cake from plain to perfect? Here it is.
Jenny from Hank + Hunt shows you how to make these party animal candles on The Sweetest Occasion. I can just imagine Hunter's reaction to seeing this little stegosaurus sitting on a cupcake.
Every Monday, I find myself trying to come up with fun, healthy items for Hunter & Charlotte's preschool lunchboxes.
Recently, I created a series of sandwich belly wraps to help make their lunchboxes more exciting. They turn the most boring of sandwiches into something a little more special.
These free printables are really easy to use - you won't need any special paper or tools. Simply download the PDF, print onto plain white paper, cut out and secure around the belly of your sandwich.
There are a range of special messages including "Your first day of school" (available in pink or blue), "Bon appetit" and "Goodluck" or; sandwich fillings including "Vegemite" (for the Aussies), "Peanut butter", "Ham and chees" and "salad".
If there's a special message or sandwich filling you would like to include in your children's lunchbox email me and I'll send it to you for free.

I'm bursting at the seams. One of my oldest and dearest friends, Megan, is marrying her sweetheart, Bradd today.
I'm not only thrilled to be sharing in their special day, I'm also delighted to be catching up with a group of the best girlfriends I'll ever have.
Here are my favourite and my best for this week:
- Floating on the sea
- A clever way to record milestones
- Hunter pretended to be Luke Skywalker all week. He'd love this print.
- Doesn't every girl wish she had a pony?
- Lovely drink photo labels for your next party
- He's so cute I just want to squeeze him.
Have a lovely weekend.

The Measure has just debuted their fall collection, inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. I'm a literature nerd and studied Twelfth Night when I was younger, so completely love this connection.
The Measure's designer, Kiki Fluhr, reflects on her childhood for inspiration when designing her collections.
”I have this memory of being a little girl and wandering through the woods behind my grandparent’s house. I felt like an explorer, discovering things for the first time, climbing trees I was sure no one had climbed before. There’s something about childhood that is a daily discovering of something new..."
"..It’s this feeling I try to evoke in my clothing. New ways of pairing classic things together, new closures on a traditional dress, new asymmetry on an otherwise standard shape. Life is full of the expected, but childhood is a constant string of revelations. I hope my line is a portrayal of just those discoveries.”
Fluhr hopes her designs will be worn by girls who are are independent, strong, witty, charming, and well-dressed; just the type of girls many of us are hoping to raise.

I love this boy's bedroom.
The classic bed head, velvet throw cushions and duvet cover have been cleverly paired with wood panelling, used racquets and a wooden chest to give the room a rustic twist.
The colourful artwork and trellis rug make sure the room is still modern. It's a room that will work well as this little boy grows into a young man.
Here's how you can create this look in your own home:
:: Light fixture :: Fine art print :: Trellis rug :: Alligator toy :: Dresser :: Velvet cushion ::
UPDATE: When I was putting together this post, I couldn't remember the source of the fabric used in the wall art, so I found a similar fine art print to replace it. If you are looking for the exact fabric, it's Josef Frank Green Birds.
