365 Days of Blaze

Hi Ladies

So I'm officially a mommy to a one year old woohoo!!! This year has flown by crazy fast but it was definitely the best 365 days of my life...filled with happiness, laughter, sleepless nights, tantrums, cuddles and lots of love. A year ago I brought home this tiny little boy weighing only 2.6 kg and now he is a 13kg toddler!! Watching Blaze grow and learn new things everday fills me with so much joy..some days I still can't believe how blessed I am to be his mommy.

Still can't believe this little guy is ONE

1st Birthday Celebrations

We had Blaze's birthday party at my parents house..It was such a fun day spent with amazing people and he got spoilt rotten. We had a ball pit, jumping castle, cake, cupcakes, sweet treats, toys, balloons and presents everywhere!!

1st birthday smash cake

I decided to make Blaze's birthday cake and it actually looked pretty damn good..got the idea off pinterest, it was alot of work but so worth it in the end and it was super yummy!! Blaze blew out his birthday candles (well he tried to I helped) and we had another smash cake photo session..he was covered in cake but it was so adorable and he loved it.

Thank you to all our family & friends who celebrated with us & made his special day extra special ♡

Best moment this week:
Was definitely Blaze saying OUPA ( grandpa) for the first time..it's the cutest thing ♡

Worst moment this week:
Blaze has been really constipated..he was weaned off formula and is now on cows milk..so will be giving his doctor a call and hearing by him if his change in milk has anything to do with it.

Quote of the week:
"I want to be around people that do things. I don't want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people who dream, and support, and do things. -Amy Poehler



That's all for now...thanks for reading

Smash Cake Photoshoot

Hi guys
Sorry for the late post but was a hectic day yesterday and blaze has been driving me insane for the last two nights waking up at two in the morning thinking it's time to get up...so I'm exhausted. Edited most of the pics and made his birthday invites..so finally got the time today to relax and update you guys on the smash cake shoot.

I wanted to do the smash cake outdoors I've seen a lot of mothers doing it indoors with a white background. I thought grass and trees would look so much more vibrant and beautiful in pictures.

Took him to a park around the corner from my parents house and literally just put him down on the grass with his cake and started taking pics. He didn't smash the cake like I thought he would and he actually didn't like the feeling of the icing on his hands lol. He constantly rubbed his fingertips together and stared at it. But still managed to get great pics and he looked so adorable with his little bow tie.

All my favourite pics above..hope you guys have an awesome Thursday!!

Smash Cake

Hi Guys So I made my first smash cake today....and it literally took me half a day lol! Even though I bought cake mix in a box it still took me hours to make..but I must say it turned out pretty damn amazing and I'm kind of dreading having it smashed and destroyed by my little man.

I used Pillsbury funfetti cake mix and made my own icing with butter, icing sugar, milk and a few drops of food colouring (blue). Everything else on the cake was bought at plastic for africa.

I decorated it really simple..just a few sprinkels, candles, and a number one..I iced it really smooth no piping bag..the cake has two layers and a blue icing filling.

Don't forget to check out my blog tomorrow to see Blaze destroy my pretty cake.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Sunday

Hi guys

so we had a really chilled weekend of DIY projects, park fun and great food!! Our plan was to spend sunday at the beach but it was so crowded couldn't even find a parking..so decided to take the little man to the park..and of course I had my camera ready.

It was such a beautiful day and perfect weather. There was no way i was going to spend the day indoors.Blaze had a ton of fun and even though he had swings and slides to play on he enjoyed chilling on the grass the most lol.

After a fun afternoon at the park we got home I made a delish lunch and chilled for the rest of the evening with my little fam..hope you guys had an awesome weekend and enjoy the week ahead.
