Keeping it real like Mimi

Happy Friday! I hope you are well and wonderful!

It's a quick one from me, it's a whirl here, I'm about to go food shopping, I have to make the tea, the children are talking (they have 2 volumes, loud or very loud) I am in the middle of 2 conversations, Mr F has tried to resuscitate the car again, I keep losing my train of thought.  All normal here.  
I'm decorating all weekend too. 
Anyhoo, today I tried something different.

1 Kimono 
1 Maxi Dress
not my maxi dress, it's the Eldest's
(jersey material, stretchy stretchy)
no pouff 
I'm feeling the 20's at the moment
especially more so when I look at Desiree
I have been captured 


Keeping it real
ha!





4 bites
I am not a fan



Languishing and wafting around


reality; 'quick! there's no-one here, take a picture'




The Eldest's new hat
it's leopard print and it fits my unusually large head
a hat
that fits






Missy is discussing her approaching birthday
and complaining she is hungry
must dash

Have an awesome weekend!!!
P.S thank you for all your lovely squishy comments on my last post too!
you all rock my world!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S. We have Krispy Kreme here... I love their original ones (warmed in the microwave) --with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.. BUT-if I eat one of them (with the ice cream) I couldn't eat anything else for about 4 days!!!!! SO many calories!!! ha

  7. You and the Eldest are the Cutest! That must be the name of your blog. :) Though Peaches McGinty is quite adorable too. LOve your 20s vibe here, Sandra - so playful and elegant. I too have a large head and rare hats look right on me. Or that's what I think. :)

    Have a great weekend! xxxxx

  10. Love that 20's vibe - with that cute bob hairstyle, the long floaty look really suits you. I am digging that leopard hat too. There is nothing that can't be improved with a bit of leopard print. XXX
