09.05. Appreciating mums

It’s rather unlike me to be so prepared for Mother’s Day, but it’s only Wednesday and I’m already sorted.
I’ve ordered flowers for my mum and got my mother-in-law a lovely pack of lovely-smelling potions from L’Occitane for Mother’s Day.
Now all that leaves is some cake baking on Sunday for the afternoon tea planned at the in-laws.

Apparently, the most popular way to show your love is taking mum out to lunch…something we usually do, but it didn’t fit in with everyone’s plans this year, so afternoon tea it is.
According to some IBIS World research, we spend twice as much on mum as dad…fair? Mums do sacrifice alot!

Are you all sorted for Mother’s Day? What are your plans?

29.04. A Beautiful Sky

One of the benefits of being married to a cycling tragic are the weekend trips to nice places hosting various rides.
Today was the delightful Arthur’s Seat Ride, so I got to spend the day on the Mornington Peninsula.
Lovely.

Flinders Beach today.

I can’t decide which photo I like best.

You decide.

And our littlest addition’s first day at the beach.
