Strawberries and four pom-poms

After being cooped up inside for a week and half, with freezing cold temperatures outside and a very sick little girl inside, l'il T and I were up for some fun outdoors. Last week we ventured to a beautiful local nursery to buy some strawberry plants for the backyard, hung out in a cafe and took a break to try on some crazy hats! We discovered a little boutique with a wide array of fluffy, furry hats, so we amused ourselves for a while being pandas, lions, chickens and dinosaurs.

Aaaah.... I love free entertainment with a three year old :)

Tara then plonked a pink beanie on that had four pom-poms ... because really, can you ever have too many pom-poms? Well, it looked so mighty cute that I bought it for her, and she has hardly taken it off since. Here we are enjoying some lovely wintery sun .....

You can find me on Instagram @canberrabec .... pop by and say hello ... I'd love to know who else is playing in the Instagram world.

Here is the wonderful new hat, and here is what happens when you lift a camera in front of a three year old and say "smile"!

Kitted out in her standard gardening tutu, little Miss in her new four pom-pom beanie helped me plant and water her brand new strawberry plants. We have put them in a pot outside her bedroom window, with a pinwheel to spin away and keep watch over them. The plan is for her to water and tend for the strawberry plants ..... I hope that is not too ambitious!
