Hooray for today!

Today I gave notice to my 'real job'. The job (with an ex-employer) I was offered a year ago has somehow morphed into something different and I wasn't liking where it was headed. It meant giving up another day with my boys and so I said NO! For the first time in a long time I listened to my gut and said NO!

My husband is so supportive and really doesn't understand why I went back to work in the first place. I love the people and the social side but when it cuts further into my family time, it has to end.

I haven't felt this great in a long time. I walked out knowing that it was the right thing to do and I feel like the possibilities are endless!!

Now, waiting for the 1st of June when I actually finish and can close the door behind me, this time I'll be leaving it closed & locked!

Time is flying

Not sure where the days and weeks are going but.....May already!!!???

Been a little busy over the past few weeks and a bit slack on the blogging.
A couple of weekends ago we managed to get up the range to Maleny and had a wander through the rainforest at Mary Cairncross park. It was a beautiful day.




On the way home we stopped in at a little Tea House which used to be Rohan's parents home....it was the home that he lived in for the first 3 years of his life. So nice to be able to wander around and have a look at the house which remains mostly unchanged!

I love this time of year!

Blown Away....

Every once in a while I receive a package that blows me away. It's presentation and quality are amazing and I feel proud to be stocking the items.

I am speaking about the delivery of baby shoes from Baby Things by Jessica. As soon as I opened the box I was speechless!
And it's not just the packaging. The shoes are exquisite and extremely well made. I wish my boys were still little enough to wear these!
You will find the shoes instore with the next store stock due this week. VIPs have first access so sign up now.

Thanks Mr Postman!!

It feels like Christmas!!! I have parcels arriving everyday lately. Loads of gorgeous goodies from both Australia and the U.S. to fill the Boodabubs Boutique!


Today I received a package from the fantastic Frank & Me.....a bunch of re-usable wipes, car seat/pram strap covers in fun fabrics for boys and girls and some special little burp cloths.

I also received my package from the groovy girls at charli&jax which means, lots of funky wipes cases will shortly be added to the store. Along with new hairclips, baby shoes and of course some funky Boodabubs fashion!

Remember, VIPs receive first access to these new goodies so make sure you sign up! You will receive our newsletter when it is released (I would like it to be regularly every 2 months but sometimes it is longer) which will have a link to access the preview section.

Anyway, back to the sewing machine for me. Have a lovely day!

Our Sanctuary

Deciding to spend time at home this Easter has made me excited about getting some (very late) spring cleaning done! I feel like it is long overdue.


While looking around my home, I re-discovered some special little pockets of memories and happiness that I sometimes forget to stop and look at......




Our entry way has some lovely shelves holding special memories. One of our wedding photos and some shells collected from the beach while the photos were being taken.





This sunny little corner is where I am constantly rotating photos of our family. The artwork on the wall was given as a gift from my best friend some years ago. That's me in the middle with my best friend and her sister (my other best friend). We have been the closest of friends since meeting 20 years ago and still speak most days!



Kyan's room is such a happy place to be. When I walk past and look in, it cheers me up. He has many little treasures from Byron Bay in his room and he loves each and every one!

I'm sure over the Easter break I will capture some more images of special places to share with you all.
