Untamed Designer Kidswear


So if you follow me on my instagram account you'd know how I've been talking about a brand that we have loved since Xavier was around 4 months old. Xavier's very first flatpeak hat (again if you follow my instagram account you would have seen countless photos of Xavier wearing a green bike flatpeak.) Xavier had been wearing this hat nearly everyday until the day came that it no longer fitted *major sadface* well it's now on display in Xavier's bedroom as I loved it so much! Quite recently Untamed have brought out boy and girl leggings from newborn sizing to a bigger kids size and also hoodies! Thanks to Untamed Xavier got to try out the new leggings and hoodie and we LOVE them! No seriously these are so comfortable for Xavier to walk in which to me is a pretty big deal as I hate to see him looking uncomfortable even if it is stylish,the leggings are 'drop crutch' which look super groovy as I know most people don't like their little boys in leggings because they are 'tight' looking. Am I right? Well mumma's your answer is here, these super cool leggings also come in a black and white zebra print just in case your not a fan of blue. Don't even get me started on the hoodie! Not only is it stylish but so versatile and so easy to put on, we all know how much of a pain getting a toddler dressed is (don't even get me started, if Xavier had his way he'd join a nudist colony, no kidding) Yes not only in boys for all you mumma's with sweet little girls, they also have cute flatpeak hats and clothing for girls and I'm telling you if I end up with a girl she'll definitely be reppin them! Ok so enough about the clothes, let me tell you abit behind the brand, two mumma's created the flatpeak hats as the market for cute hats aimed at kids, yep kids clothing not the clothing we call 'kids' that end up looking like mini men, clothing that actually has bright colours and fun patterns! Genius! So many of my friends fell absolutely in love with Xavier's first flatpeak that now they're also reppin Untamed flatpeaks and kidswear. Honestly it will be the best purchase made for your little ones and if you don't get onto it your seriously missing out. Ok so now i'll stop boasting and you can have a look at their website http://www.untameddk.com/ and check out all the cool designs for yourself and even drop some into that little shopping cart in the top right hand corner (they also ship internationally and to New Zealand not just Australia), I know I certainly will be soon! If you don't already follow them on instagram then please do, they show all the designs and clothing on there and even sometimes do giveaways and lets be honest everyone loves a giveaway!  Thanks Untamed Designer Kidswear for letting me show off your products, you'll always have me as a happy customer.

 Enjoy! x

Xavier's First Birthday Party


 Sorry it has taken me so long to do another blog post and share Xavier's big day, with moving house, easter and the lack of wifi at our new house it has made making my usual blog posts alot harder. So finally i'm in wifi range and ready to share photos of Xavier's first birthday party! Xavier's favorite tv show is 'in the night garden' and his favourite character is 'Iggle Piggle', in case you haven't seen this show before google, in the night garden. Iggle Piggle is blue, red and white and has a very special blanket much like Xavier's very special 'Rabbey'. So coming up with a theme for Xavier's party was quite easy, blowing up all the balloons and hanging them from our roof however was not! I made Xavier's cake myself and I even made the marshmallow fondant myself (also crediting one of my friends Adriana for helping me with putting the fondant on the cake and for letting me use her cake decorating materials). It was such a great day for Xavier and we are very lucky to have amazing friends and family to help share and spoil our little cherub, as fun as the whole thing was i'm definitely glad I only have to do it a couple of times a year! Alot of stress, hard work, hunting and most of all love went into Xavier's party and i'm so glad it paid off in the end, and yes i'm definitely going to continue to make big deals of our childrens birthdays with big themed partys, they're only kids for such a short amount of time. Hope this helps some of you with ideas for your little's first birthday party! 
Enjoy x

Newborn Photos


Looking through all of Xavier's newborn photo's last night that were taken by 'memories by sarah'. Xavier was only 2 weeks old and still very tiny! Although from memory trying to get these photo's weren't as easy as you think, he woke a few times and took awhile to settle, we tried making him milk drunk and rocking him. Thankfully Sarah is great with babies and children so Sarah got Xavier to sleep and moved/positioned him each time, having no nappy photos is also a risk as he did decide to go to the toilet while we were taking photos also, luckily just number one and only the once. I love looking back on these photo's as they're so special to us and they are only this little for such a short amount of time. Sarah also took my pregnancy photos too. Next time I will show you more newborn photos of Xavier that my friend Bob Wickham took for us, Bob also took pregnancy shots of me too so I will do a blog post of all my pregnancy photo's if you guys would like to see them. I recommend to every new parent or even every child you have to have newborn photo's done professionally as they're such a beautiful keepsake.
Hope you enjoy these photo's as much as we do. x

12 Months Of Xavier


 Yep, I'm a week early on this blog post but I couldn't wait to share all my favourite photos of Xavier's first year and I also have a very busy week next week as we are moving into our new house, Xavier's first birthday and also Xavier's first easter! So a little update since the last update I did on Xavier was at 11 months old. Well Xavier as most of you know is starting to walk, he has become very vocal and the amount of words and sounds he can do now is far more than I had imagined,very fun! He now weighs over 10kg, can blow kisses, clap hands and make a what I call Indian boy noise using his hands to his mouth, ADORABLE! He puts puzzles together and climbs stairs in 0.5 seconds. It has been such a fantastic year for us with Xavier in our lives, he makes everyday brighter and full of laughter (most of the time anyways). We can't imagine our lives without our little ray of sunshine and can't wait to share more memories and fun times with him. Thankyou all for sharing my first year of being a mother with me and for giving me your attention enough to read all my blog posts. Can't wait to share every beautiful moment of our lives with you all and share more and more good news.
 Hope you enjoy our photos as some of these we've never shared until now, i've ordered them from newborn to now age 1 (well almost 1). x
