rashies are a year round must-have if you're a beach goer and our bobbi sunshine short sleeve pink paisley rashie is such a pretty piece and reduced to $35.95. pair this up with a mix match of prints, with the floral bikini for $22.45.

yummy mummies has checked in to : her blog

yep, at long last, i am feeling "back into it". back into business and back into the blog. i've been all caught up in our new baby bubble here, i've hardly had a spare minute to even look at my blog, let alone log into it! but you don't need me to tell you how busy life is, cause you've got your own going on too.

children are the absolute best and most fun time wasters there are. i love it. i love being the mum. i may whinge about being tired, it's true. i may be off in tired fairy land, that's true too. even this morning, i paid for my "quick shop" at coles, and headed off with both girls sitting in the trolley, but forgot to collect my 4 grocery bags. i'm tired, it's true. but i still love it. i love being the mum of my two little people. the boss. the mum.

i've got so many idea's and stories i want to share with you this year. i've got loads of product reviews coming up, some fashion tips and how-to-wear idea's, new winter stock to tell you about, and some changes happening to our shopping site also.

i might be a month late, but here's to twenty twelve. i hope YOUR twenty twelve is filled with awesomeness. check you back here soon x

the cheeky receptionist

if you are calling us, you may very well be greeted by our cheeky little receptionist. our apprentice has really started to get the hang of her mini me role lately. while i sit at the computer catching up on emails or paperwork, miss apprentice scurries off to get the calculator, sits on the step and starts punching away at the number pad. if the phone rings, she has started chasing me a little bit to try and get to the phone before i can. and when we wrap up parcels to get sent out, she sings happy birthday. oh yes, your parcel is wrapped with loads of love and cuteness, mixed with a whole lot of cheekiness!

new resident photographer : naomi v photography

in our crazy july we were working hard with a few of my favourite ladies, to bring you some lovely eye candy on our shopping site. i've been busting at the seems to share this with you, and today i can! we have joined forces with the gorgeous and talented woman behind naomi v photography. naomi is our new resident photographer, and let me tell you, this lady knows how to work a camera! we have updated our home page images and filled the gallery with naomi's gorgeous work. go on, go over and have a look at our shopping site, and then come back here and let me know what you think!

so... a little more about naomi v, for those who don't know her... naomi is based in brisbane and specialises in wedding photography and portrait photography for babies, children and families. she is a mum of 3 and has such a fun and fresh personality, which is what you want from the person who is capturing your precious moments. naomi has a gorgeous blogsite, so please do visit it and have a look at her work. i'm sure she'd love for you to leave a comment on her blog posts if you like them.

i like to keep an image of my mini me, miss summer, on my home page. as you do. so my super lovely friend, candice from momie et enfant, helped to style a little photo shoot for the children home page image. summer is wearing a momie et enfant dress and bloomers, lots of pearl necklaces and bracelets, and mummy's most prettiest shoes (although mummy doesn't get to wear them much these days). i was hoping to use the image that's in my new blog header for the home page of the site, but it didn't sit in right, and it looks fab on the blog now anyway!

i cannot thank naomi and candice enough for all of your help with this. you girls are wonderful women and i am blessed to have crossed paths with you both and to now be able to call you both friends (thank you). here are a few images from our morning together.

i also want to say a massive thanks to 3 lovely photographers who have let me display their images prior to this mini makeover. kathy and grant from ashford studio, skye from skye rocket studio, and the lovely bree from breeze designs. you guys are the bomb!

happy easter

we'd like to wish you all a happy and safe easter. hopefully some of you are having a break away from the home duties and off doing something you enjoy. we're staying in this easter, hoping the weather is lovely so we can hit the beach, and i'd love to have a spare half an hour so i can paint my toenails and give myself a microdermabrasion, heavens knows the both are very long overdue! i'll also be catching up on some work, my pc has been on the blink for a couple of weeks, but got it back this week so i'll be catching up with some reviews for the blog, and i'm thinking i might even give the layout a bit of a makeover too.

we had the lovely sarah from style me gorgeous help us design a new newsletter template for our april edition. we sent it out yesterday but we unfortunately had 'technical difficulties' and i know it didn't reach some of our subscribers. not sure how many received it and how many didn't, but hopefully we'll work out what has happened and get this fixed for next month. i'm so dissappointed it didn't reach everyone as i am so happy with how it has turned out, but you can, however, click here to view the online version. enjoy xx

it's finally arrived!

our new website that is. just sneaked it in before christmas! what do you think? i love it! i am super happy with everything, especially my colours. lucky, because i have to look at it every day!

wow, what a mission. now, i'm not going to lie to you, it's been an interesting journey for me, rebuilding yummy mummies into a place that not only has fun and funky stock, but also reflects me and my family. i took over the yummy mummies empire early this year and it's pretty much taken me all year to learn the ropes of the industry and finally have a super hot finished product! i have so many lovely people that have been by my side with my venture. sarah from style me gorgeous is an absolute dream to work with. she completely captured the feel i wanted with my site, and i recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs a graphic designer. clayton and the team at vividpink put this gorgeous creation into reality for me. i had fun working with clayton, there's something nice about working with cool people who just get it. so if you're thinking of starting up a website, you should definately jump onto vividpink's site and get a quote. and how bout those gorgeous suppliers of mine, each and every one of you are beautiful and i thank you for your patience with me in getting this site relaunched! i also want to mention a couple of beautiful photographers too. kathy & grant from ashford studio on the gold coast (and soon a studio in sydney) have supplied the gorgeous photography in the gallery and the pregnancy shot on the home page. skye from skye rocket studio in wagga owns rights to the middle photo of miss indi grace. indi is modelling an indi g hair clip, which are of course available from our shop. and last but not least, naomi v photography from brisbane owns rights to the photo of summer in the third box. i of course had to put my own little daughter on my home page!

there are so many friendly and talented people in this industry. i am so glad to be amongst them all. so off you go... pop on over to the site and check it out for yourself =) xx
