We have fairies:))

We have fairies living in our garden, Alessia found this fairy door hidden behind our hydrangeas(thank you little nana!) and was so excited, I was bought up on magical lands and fairies and have carried that belief on with my kids.  Alessia wanted to make the fairies a special gift and i have been dying to try out the fairy jar that i have seen on pinterest so it was the perfect thing to make. It is so easy to make and it creates such joy for a few hours, Alessia carried it everywhere and showed it to everyone we met, the glow stick has since stopped glowing but the jar still looks pretty covered in glitter.

Grand Bend

Here are a few pics from a trip we took to Grand Bend when my mum was here, it was a rare treat that Daniele actually had the whole weekend off so we took advantage, I love Grand Bend it has such an old school beach vibe to it and the sunsets are out of this world... there are also a couple from another beach day out when Cassie was here.

They've Graduated:)

Last week was a busy one, the kids finished school for the summer, it was a bit bitter sweet as I love summer but it meant both Franco and Luca graduated and while that is a good thing it means they are growing up and it is all going too fast!!!!!

 Francos graduation was really sweet and caused a few tears, it is such a sweet school and the ceremony and slideshow were  really nice. With everything that has been going on this year for me I really appreciate everything that much more and I cant help but be aware of how short life can be, so when we are celebrating these special occasions I cant help but be a little emotional:))))

Luca's ceremony was a little more grown up, it was so nice to watch him and all of his friends getting their awards and goofing around as teenagers do!!! After the ceremony we headed back to the school gym and we had a mother / son  or Father/daughter dance which was such a nice touch that i'm sure we parents enjoyed far more than the kids!

Now we are heading into the next chapter and i'm sure we will have many dramas as thats just what we do!!!:)
