B is for Baby Shower!

I dont know if its because of the Law of Attraction but it currently feels like everyone around me has either had a baby recently or about to have a baby! Its a baby, baby year and I love it as it means more little friends for my Anabelle to play with when she's older! :) 
And ofcourse the other great thing about having a baby is having a baby shower!
My beautiful (& glowing) cousin Priscilla is due in February and I was delighted to help her celebrate and to create a beautiful desserts table for all her guests to enjoy.

I was very excited as it was my first go at making bunting, tissue paper pom-poms, cupcake toppers & Tim -Tam cookie pops! (which where delicouse!!!)

Here are some photo's of the of all the lovely details...

New Year, New Me!

HAPPY 2011 Everybody!!! Each year I make the same resolutions...
  1. Lose Weight
  2. Work hard
  3. Make more money
  4. Travel to a new destination
  5. Lose Weight
Most years I've managed to accomplish at least 2 of the items on that list, unfortunatly items 1 & 5 are neither of them... :( 

So this year as I think about what I want to achieve and what resolutions to make I feel like my resoluations wont just impact my life but also impact the life of my little one. Which means I really need to work hard to achieve these goals, dreams & wishes I have for 2011. 
Starting with item 1!
Here are my 2011 resolutions...
  1. Lose Weight! -  Must lose 15kg to get back to my wedding day goal weight
  2. Buy a new house! - Seriously I had no idea how much space kids take up!
  3. Continue to build on this little blog of mine & hopfully have at least 100 followers by the end of the year :)
  4. Travel to a new destination - I'm thinking Fiji or Malaysia or back to Thailand....
  5. Continue to find balance between work, family & some me time...
  6. Learn to Meditate

What about you.... what's your New Year resolution?

Warm Hugs, Ana xoxo
