oh joyous spring

After a very cold and indoors winter here in Orange, it's been lovely to see the blooms come out in spectacular form in spring.

I'm getting out for a walk with the bubba in a pram most days and luckily I live right near to a huge park with a very well kept garden, here are just some of the loveliness of spring that I've snapped so far.

baby belly

I went to high school with the very lovely Lyss. She has become a very good photographer, with a style that is really natural and almost softly spoken.

As her skill has been crafted in the past few years, I've followed her work with weddings, babies, families and also baby bumps. What I love in particular about her baby belly pics is that they're whimsical, romantic and don't appear posed.

So I asked Lyss to photograph my baby belly and at 38 weeks, she made the trek to Orange, braving the freezing middle of winters day to take some shots that are truly amazing.

Here's a select few of my favourites from the day.

baby room

Another baby indulgence in this post, the baby room.

I have a very specific idea for the baby room - I want to create a calm and neutral sleep space. Somewhere that feels nice for baby and nice for me to be in.
I want pastels, creams and whites and I don't want a 'theme' (as in underwater, jungle etc).

I collected inspiration from pinterest and magazines and here's my finished baby room....



This is the blanket my great grandmother knitted for me when I was a baby. I'm so glad to have it to pass on to my baby.



The mantle.



My good friend Kylie made bunting for the room and put together the mobile. The pieces of the mobile were cut out by everyone that came to my baby shower in Sydney, with little messages written on the back of each piece.



I love this block print. I ordered it from a clever person via etsy.com



We got so many wraps and blankets as gifts, a truly wonderful present, you can never have enough.


The cutest wardrobe I ever did see.
