Preschooler Dresses

Posted on December 13, 2019December 16, 2019 by Steph Hackathorn

I often get asked where I get my 3 year old Ava’s formal/church dresses from. I shop at places in Australia and Overseas such as Cotton On, Janie and Jack, Ebay, Zulily.. really all different places.

I wanted to share some links with you for dresses Ava has as well as other’s I’ve found that are formal so you can bookmark these companies for next time!

Christmas Weekend

Posted on December 29, 2017December 30, 2017 by Steph Hackathorn

We absolutely love Christmas time.. It’s an opportunity to take a few days off and just live life with family- no work.. no distractions.. This year was no exception- except I came down with a stomach bug/food poisoning for all of Christmas day and most of Boxing day.

To top it all off, within hours of feeling better I went to check on Ava around midnight and she had thrown up in her cot! Over the course of the next 3 days she proceeded to christen our new matching pjs (mine not hers) 3 times with puke. I caught puke in my top, in my hands and in a Mcdonalds happy meal box. I’ve lost count of the amount of baths she’s taken to try and bring her temperature down and she is now taking her antibiotics without even a whimper..

I am thankful and happy to report that she is now on the mend! We’re taking each meal as it comes but she was almost back to her bubbly self this morning!

Pumpkin Patch

Posted on December 14, 2016December 14, 2016 by Steph Hackathorn

At first I couldn’t believe Pumpkin Patch was going out of business.. they have been in Australia for a number of years. My mum dressed me in Pumpkin Patch and I’ve dressed my daughter Ava in their clothes.. but alas.. They (along with Charlie & Me) have a closing down sale of 40-60% off. While I’m really sad that they will no longer be around I can’t help but capitalize on their closing down sale! Below are some of my favourite picks! I’ll be going in store this week to pick up a few bargains!
