Taking a Break

We're taking a little holiday for a week! And it couldn't be at a better time..In the past month I've had some crooks disappear with our (and 70 other families') money, leaving everyone without a cubby house for Christmas. And yesterday my car was stolen under pretty incredible circumstances. Let me just say - if you have your car washed at a car wash, please tell them NOT to leave your keys in the car and out of sight! I really loved my car and it's all a bit unpleasant but not the end of the world.

On the flip side, I had a lovely surprise last week when I received two beautiful handmade pillowcases, sewn for my little girls by Sarah from Molly's Maison. The girls were thrilled and immediately put them on their pillows. Thank you Sarah, it was such a generous, lovely gift!



Have a great week everyone, I'll post some holiday pics soon xx

I'm so sorry to hear about all of this terrible news! Thanks for the tip too. We don't often get our cleaned professionally but when we do I will make sure we are in control of the keys!

Enjoy your holiday!

Best wishes,
Natasha.

Oh no! What a pain and inconvenience to have your car stolen. Jason's car was stolen just after we moved here...while at Bunnings of all places!
At least the lovely pillow cases and holiday are positives to be grateful for. xx

So sorry to hear about your recent misfortune! It's a shame there are such dishonest people in the world. I hope your car is found soon. On a more positive note, the pillow cases are sweet! There are good folks in the world too.

Oh, so sorry Rachael!! I would miss my car too very much if it were stolen. I hope all gets resolved to the very best it can!
Praying this vacation will be a wonderful and restorative time for you and your family!
