Felt Tip Pen Ink Art!

I am not sure about you but we always end up with a multitude of pens that have been unlovingly strewn across the room and left without their precious lids!

I just found this awesome idea on Mini Eco (I adore this blog!), I know you will love it too!

Just pop the unloved pens in a pottle of water like so overnight...

Naked Baby's Newest little helper!

After dog sitting last winter we were truly smitten! Lucky for us some cute puppies arrived about 7 weeks ago and we were able welcome one into out lives!

So things are busy around here as usual but it is the way we love it.

Kahu heads back to preschool next week which he is super excited about. Being an only child he had been missing his friends. Lucky we have some very patient bigger girls next door who have include him in their games over the holidays!

I am looking forward to a very exciting 2012, with my little Naked Baby company. We have shoes, (super cute ones I might add), gorgeous clothes and fab toys arriving!

Also our studio will be open Monday to Friday from 10-2 and by appt outside of those hours! Drop in and see us and don't forget a puppy cuddle will be comic your way!

Hi ............

Kate has given me the task to post on this blog now I am an official 'Mrs Naked baby'.

So here I am .... Louise, wife, mum of two boys aged 1 and 2 (I know!!!what were we thinking!)and average stay at home mum. Everyone that knows me knows I spend most of my time chasing my boys, doing laundry (boys are filthy!!) or finding ideas on the Internet and setting my husband the 'project' of completing them for our house with a budget of approx $20!!!

You'll be hearing alot from me over the coming months and we will be using this blog alongside facebook to preview exciting new collections/designers/items that will be stocked in the store. Also to give you friends sneak peeks, discounts and numerous cool links to the fab things I find out there in cyber space.

Food Glorious Food

Ok time for me to make a naughty confession, I just cant help it, I love (no ADORE) watching Jamie Oliver cook.  I am not sure whether its just because I am fantasizing about someone cooking for me or the fact that he makes food look so good!

I have been working my way through his cookbooks lately and I am just obsessed with his sirloin steak and bok choi recipe.  So healthy and easy but tastes like heaven!

Anyway I am starting this diet that helps with Polycystic Ovaries.  I went on this diet to help get pregnant with Kahu and hubby and I have decided no 2 is not going to happen without help.  I have never really been a dieter or watched what I eat... Like I am totally obsessed with pasta, and this is definite no-no in my new diet.

I figure that by writing about it on this blog it might help me stick to the diet, it is after all for a good cause.  I am going to write up my weekly meals here with links to where I get the recipes just in case anyone else is looking for meal inspiration!

Basicially I have to get rid of all estrogen causing foods like potatoes, rice, wheat, sugar, banana's to name a few.  The whole diet is pretty much food from the garden and land and nothing processed. 

Tonights meal inspiration comes from the yummy bucket of carrots we got given from hubby's parent's vege garden.  Carrot and Coriander soup. (ps I will pop some bread in the breadmaker for the boys, but I will give it a miss!).  For the chicken stock when we have a roast chicken I always boil the bones with a few left over veges and then freeze it for soups!

UbaBub... I am in love!

I have been coveting Ubabub cots for a while... I must say I adore them.  They are the funkiest cots I have seen and I am sure they will be a treasured item passed down the generations... now all I need is another baby to put in it!
