Bows and Buffaloes

Today I thought I would share a little something that could possibly get me into a little bit of trouble on the home front!!  See that gorgeous dress, it may or may not be on its way to my place!!  To the HOTH I apologise!!  Although if you are too tight to spring for a $12 million diamond like KK got off Kayne as a push present then what do you expect!!

Nothing made me happier than finding out one of my friends had taken the plunge and done something completely awesome and opened her own business.  Quite frankly this chick was born to do this.  I have known Renee for a bloody long time and she is always dressed to the nines in something cool.  Slightly different to me in my mummiform of trackies in winter and cargo shorts and tops in summer!!

I admit a lot of what she has on offer is not stuff I can pull off as I am not young or slim anymore but she is doing what a lot of businesses do not do and that is listen to her customers.  As a result she is getting in a lot of "plus sizes" and things to suit a wide range of people.  If you are after something in particular just ask her and she will see what she can do!!  I am loving having a personal shopper, I have put in a request for some loose tops and maxi skirts.

I have found my wardrobe to be limited thanks to breast feeding and having a delightful "mummy tummy".  In fact I am in the middle of sorting out my wardrobe which I have not done for ages and getting rid of heaps of stuff.  I have quite a few maxi dresses as I love them but with the "festive" season just around the corner it does not hurt to have more.  Yes I am totally trying to justify my recent and future purchases!!  While I won't be out of the mummiform anytime soon I love having a few nice options.  Now I just need some cute summer shoes and I am all set!!  Although not an easy task with fat, wide feet!!

If you like cute, trendy clothes please pop over and visit Bows and Buffaloes on facebook and have a peek at what else there is!!

In no way was I asked to do this post.  I just wanted to show you all something that made me smile and also a little inspired.  I know a couple of other entrepreneurs who I will also tell you about in the coming weeks. Just because I want to!!  I love a good news story and do not have a problem sharing things like this on my blog.

More Monday Music!!

A very quick Monday post from me as for the first time in weeks I have 3 sleeping children and a spare 2 minutes to do a little blogging!!

Life is still crazy busy and I am enjoying the challenge although I am hanging out for a spare 5 minutes to do something other than change nappies etc!!

Linking up these songs that got us home from swimming this morning ( I love it when the radio plays some cool songs in a row) with One Mother Hen for Open Slather.  The first 3 are some of my faves and I don't mind the Miley one (don't hate me its just the teeny bopper coming out in me!!).

Music week- party classics

I am kicking off my week of music with some party classics courtesy of the party going on over the back from us on Saturday night.  This is a sample of the playlist that was cranking well into the night.

There is one song on the list that is guaranteed to get me up on the dance floor!!  How about you, any song that makes you the life of the party??!!

Thankful Thursday- a quick one

Just a quickie from me tonight.

I am so thankful I can blog normally again thanks very much to Teapots and Tractors who gave me the red hot tip of using google chrome instead of internet explorer.  I even have spell check back!!

I am thankful for good friends.  They rock.

I am thankful for how crazy busy life in general is at the moment because it makes me extremely thankful for the quiet times like now when I can sit and blog and catch up on blog reading.

I am thankful for the amazing weather we have been having lately.  Although we could do with some rain, not a lot just a little.  Hello Mother Nature if you are out there.

I am thankful we had such a nice day last Saturday for fathers day.  (Yes Saturday as the HOTH had to leave for a work trip on Sunday)

I love social media and how it is making communicating with family and friends so easy and instant.

Thats it for my thankful list which I am linking up with Francesca Writes Here for Thankful Thursday.

Another post about nothing!!

Last night I had a very smart thought, maybe all the problems I am having with my blog are related to me adding the blogger app on my phone? So while I try to find a way to safely uninstall it without deleting all of my exceptinally clever work please enjoy this selection of music.

Yes I have been watching too much tv and am a sucker for the dog/cat food ad with Paolo and also I love the song on the baby wash ad!! Who can resist a bit of Jessie's Girl especially when Dave Grohl and the majority of the Foo Fighters are collaberating!!

Linking this up with and also as I technically started this on Monday night

aswell!!
