 I do enjoy wonder around town and find these hidden jems... some more hidden than other.  This little daft and orchid are tucked away in riverside! Who would have know. 

Bad moms

Image
"Let's be bad moms" says Mila Kunis in this gem of the film in answer to the pressure of being this picture perfect mother, that bakes, cleans, helps with homework, works and also lost all her baby weight and always looks amazing... (and all this in one sentence!!) I would like to applaud, actually make like a one woman standing ovation, to all the people who made this film. This film feels real, about every day mumming struggles. I have to confess that good few times I wanted to clap or shout "You go girl!" during the film. Basically it is about mothers, PTA, schools, children and mama gang. With mainly female cast too. There are only few men in this film, and they do not have a center stage. One particular actor is there just to look very very good. And boy he is does this so well....  This film made me laugh so hard that I have cried and almost peed my self.  There is however some criticism about how Mila Kunis' heroine...

Date night - Stephen's Christmas present

Image
I just love presents that give more than things, that give experiences and emotions. So the awesome gift he got was the tickets to see Ed Byrne My dearest said that he will always make this lovely face ....  It was the 3rd time we saw him. Steve himself saw him 4 times. And every time we laughed so hard... It is also very nice to see how his comedy changes with his circumstances. Now he is a parents and talks a lot about his kids. We can definitely relate to that!  Mr Burn also comes across as a feminist. Which is awesome! But he has his own reasons for that... So freaking funny!  Actually he did talk about the important stuff. But in a funny way.  And I must say if my child picks up his own clothes they do not have to be gender specific... So hooray for pink shoes and leggings! And we are so getting a DVD when it is finally released. Loved you Ed! 

decoupage

I always was intrigued by decoupage. And I used to think it is a hard craft. I suppose everything is hard when you don't know...  So with Eggy man going to sleep at 7pm I have evening to do things. This time I finally crafted something. So I picked up this plate in charity shop ages ago. I needed a key bowl.  Since then I found a much cooler and prettier glass and actually singed one so this one was going for the bin. And thought came to me, maybe I can do something with it. Make it more.... je ne sais quoi!  I actually had to get it out of the bin. My own bin, don't freak I wasn't dumpster diving or anything...  I have started by just painting it all black with acrylic paint, so it looked less African revival, but there is nothing I could do with little ridges. But hey it's my 1st time up-cycling. Then I couldn't find my massive jar of PVA glue, drama with moving and still unpacking! But thanks crafts for Tiger shop. Have you not been to one?...
