Pink shoes - need your advice!

I'm thinking of having pink shoes to my white (short) wedding dress to spice it all up a bit. I found two that I like, what do you guys think? Feel free to come with suggestions ; )

Boring or nice?

Crazy or funky?

Proof of damage.

Axel is feeling much better, think he has forgotten about the whole incident now, well he probably moved on pretty swiftly, talking more myself I guess. So scary when your baby hurt himself, and even more scary of J when I called him at work crying saying that Axel fell, there is blood ha ha.

Here you can see the damage on the left side of his nose, but nothing broken!

You can really see that Ax is my child - I'm "famous" for having my camera smile that I put on automatically as soon as a camera is in the room and Axel is the same, always a smile in front of the camera!!

oh, and Axel has been saying da da da da da the whole day amongst other things, sometimes it sounds like he is mumbling complaints to himself. Note to myself - have to say ma ma ma ma a bit more every day!

First minor accident and I'm already a wreck...

Ax had his first little blood accident today, he sat on his play mat and reached for a toy when he tipped over and must have landed with his nose on one of the plastic cubes he got. I was on the phone trying to book a room on Ven for some of J's family when it happened. First I didn't see the blood so picked him up and comforted him while I asked the girl on the phone to wait, but the I saw that there was some in his nose and got super nervous and told her that I was going to call her back, called J and was a bit (read: quite a lot) upset on the phone. But Axel got his dummy and stopped crying and the blood stopped as well. It wasn't as much as a nose bleed but still, really flipping scary! I was ready to call the ambulance, but I don't think they would want to come and check out a nose. He is sleeping in his pram now next to me, need to hear him breath now to calm myself down a bit. My lord it's scary when things like this happens, I would be ok if it was a scratch on his arm or something, we could have put a plaster on it and kissed it better, but when it's from the nose aaarrrrrggggggg. I know children hurt themselves, and that there is always a first for everything, I need to get used to this.

Otherwise I think this week has gone super quick with friends visits, chill out on the patio working on my tan with Ax under the umbrella in the shade, had my eyebrows waxed, gone shopping and tomorrow it's Friday with sing and sign and then an afternoon with Ruth, very nice!
Next week is going to be even more busy with me taking out my stupid tooth finally on Monday, then one of my best friends from Sweden is coming with her family on Tuesday to Wednesday, then I'm seeing Jo on Thursday, going to sing and sign on Friday just in time for the weekend again. And the it's almost time to pack for mine and Ax's Sweden trip, can' wait!!!! So we have a well deserved break today which is much needed, the weather isn't too bad either so as soon as Ax wakes up and have some lunch we will move outside in the fresh air, but I think he will have to sit in his inflatable ring so he doesn't fall over again, one fall is enough for one day!

Rise and shine?

Axel woke up at 5 yesterday, I was hoping it wouldn't happen again but of course it happened today as well, I really hope this is not a new pattern or something aarrrrgggg, it is awful to have to go up this early, you have that sort of feeling that you get when you are going to go travel and have to wake up on all strange hours to go to the airport. I'm was (still am ) so tired and tried to get him to sleep a bit longer (of course), first in his own bed (which seldom works at that time of the morning) and then in our bed - which he NEVER does so I don't understand why oh why I feel the desperation to try it every time this happens anyway?! I think we need a couple of blackout blinds so we can pretend it's night for a bit longer, our wooden blinds aren't just not up to scratch. But as we sold the car an IKEA visit is not the easiest now, darn, we should have thought about this before we started to rely on J's mum to go, oh well... I need to drink some tea now, my head is hurting.

Ohh I forgot...

Any idea how to get a little boy to start crawling forward and not just backwards?

Wedding colour scheme, any ideas??

We are having our first (of two) wedding party here in Brighton after the ceremony in the evening for all our friends. No food or speeches, just bubbly, mingling and (hopefully) some dancing. It's not long to go now so we need to start planning the decoration of the place, J happened to look at a play in the same room last week and came home telling me that the walls where blue which I must have totally blocked out as I thought they were a bit plainer. However, when we got there this weekend to have a second little peek and to take some photos we realised that the walls where in fact lilac (but on the photos we took they look blue so they must be magic walls ha ha. I was thinking of having a pink summery theme but I'm not so sure now, all I know is that I don't want a drastic look (you know a bit like James Bond-ish), instead I would like a very soft, romantic, summer cottage beach look with wild flowers and soft light. But that's not gonna happen here in Brighton with lilac walls : ), but thankfully we are actually having our second (family) party in Sweden in a summer house so I get a bit of that in the end. Anyway, back to the subject, anyone got ideas about any colours that goes nicely together with lilac? I was looking for some inspirational pictures online and found this photo, classic!

I wonder on which planet the designer lives cos this is just plain horrendous ha ha, then again maybe it is for older people getting married as I just noticed that the chairs are actually rocking chairs?!?!

I also found a site that teach you how to make a cupcake stand, perfect! Now I just have to find Polysthyrene cake dummies!

Long weekend

Had a nice long weekend with some sunshine : )


Axel on the swings for the first time, not sure if it was a hit or miss, gonna try and find a proper baby swing for him so he can actually swing and not just sit in it while J "moves" it a bit : )


Nice to eat grass and to try the slide (with a little help from dad).

Axel a bit sceptical of his mum ha ha.
