Happy 7th birthday to my best friend

Hey hey hey Lovelies

So It's been a while! I know, I know... I'm such a bad blogger but these past few days have literally been crazy! Done so much in such little time and now I've started to get hooked on The Simpson's Tapped Out game which has been taking all my sleep time!

I'm so grateful however to all you loyal readers - feel like half my posts have an appreciation message in them - well yeah

I thought I'd kick off this week's post with a little birthday message going out to my best friend Tabie - yes my dog - She's 7! How cute! She is a pain in the butt but I love her to pieces. If anything, this little cutie has taught me the importance of friendship. I know it sounds super corny but she has been by my side for 7 years and no matter how many times I got upset at her, she still comes back to me - now that I think about it, it's probably because I'm the one who feeds her... so she was just hungry.

Nah but all seriousness though, she's amazing and I don't know what I would do without her. She's the first one I see every morning, the first one to welcome me home everyday after work, the only one who gets excited to see me any time during the day really.

She was my first ever friend in Australia. Yes, I got her a few months after moving, she was only a little awkward pup when I got her. She used to try to fight the carpet and ended up getting a few of her teeth stuck. Never in my life have I ever come across such a dopey dog! But her awkwardness and craziness was just too adorable!

Happy 7th Birthday to my best friend. I wish you all the happiness in the world!
Now to all you who may wonder.... what kind of cake did you make her?

I actually got mum to make her a simple plain cake with raisins because she loves them!
I decorated the cake with icing - no she didn't eat that
And I placed dog biscuits around the cake which she found quite hard to resist while we sand Happy Birthday and took pictures!

Anyway enough rambling for today!
I have a few thing planned for this week and I'm looking forward to sharing more posts with you all!
Remember to be kind to one another!

Lots of love, Karine xx

Flowers :)

Hello!!

I'm back! YAY! :)
Haha anyways, I've been spending a lot of time in my garden outside. No, I don't plant BUT I love looking at the flowers and seeing all the little insects here and there! Is that weird?

Yesterday was Valentines Day and since I didn't get any flowers :( I decided to go out and smell the ones out in my yard! woo!!

The first one that caught my eye was the bright yellow marigold. These flowers are just so bright and will definately lift up your spirit. They also smell amazing and I wish I had more of those around but sadly, I have just one plant :( Its vibrant colour is sure to light up your garden and bring a positive vibe to it!

 These flowers are all roses. Who doesn't love roses? Different types of roses planted next to each other to create one big bush of different coloured roses. They are actually so beautiful and having them next to my window means that I can smell them all day! With the casual visit from bugs and insects... lovely!

Another type of flower I found was the gorgeous Geranium. We have two types, the hot pink and the light pink. They make everything look so much nicer and really stands out from the others around them! They don't really smell... I don't think... they don't have a strong sweet smell to them but I love how they are so bright and different!

And what really got me excited about these flowers is that you could put them all together and create a bouquet at home! It's beautiful and FREE!! You can arrange them in any way you like!

This is what my dad made for my mum yesterday for valentines day!

How sweet... but... where's mine? :(

Do you like flowers? Do you plant? What did you get for Valentines day?

Please do tell me! And I'd love to hear your opinions :)
