I bet you're dying to find out how it went - well, it went well. Surprisingly well in fact. The kids coped MUCH better than me. I have to confess to a bowl of vanilla icecream with crushed up Oreos in it one night... I did struggle. It's that thing where once someone tells you that you <i>can't</i> have something, it's all you can think about and if you don't have it you'll surely die kind of thing.... Willpower of steel - <i>not!</i><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But back to the boys, they were much better at it than me.... See, Mister 6 is an absolute stickler for the rules, so once I told them the rules, he was going to abide by them to the letter. He even pulled me up one morning for putting a (very small) sprinkle of sugar on his Weet Bix! I had to convince him that that was okay! So on the whole they were good. and behaviourally, which was what I was really interested in, they were good too. Only a week off the stuff so there was never going to be a massive difference, but it was a definite start. The point was really that there was an improvement so I can now go forth confidently knowing that sugar actually makes kids evil as well as being evil... And I think having that week hiatus period has made them more aware of what they eat which is fantastic. There were lots of questions: "mummy, does this have sugar in it?" They were quite taken aback at what did and didn't contain the sweet stuff. And it was a learning curve for me too in that they, for instance, didn't think Nutri Grain, Icecream or jam had sugar in it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So onward we proceed with our new way of eating. Dessert is now a special occassion - unless it's yoghurt (for now the yoghurt is the supermarket variety that is full of sugar, but we'll get there slowly) or fruit. Lollies are a special treat not for everyday consumption. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From the overload of information I've had over the past few days, I see that our diet is far from perfect according to certain ways of thinking, but I'm not sure I can do all that just yet. I understand <a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com.au/" target="_blank">Sarah Wilson</a>'s school of thought on eliminating fruit from your diet because it's full of fructose which is the "bad" type of sugar, but thats' all a bit far from my world and capabilities right now. The diet soft drinks are the first thing I have to eliminate. I now know all they do is send hoax messages to your brain that you've had something sweet and cause your body to crave sweets and food to supply your brain with the sugar it can't find!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As overwhelming as it's been, it's something that has my attention and I do intend to work on, so if anyone's got any more good tips to share feel free!!!! I'm completely at sea without my sweet buddy.</div>

We both know I've been slack/absent/just plain old not here... I've been run off my feet doing Trade Shows for Noosh, designing books, styling covers and building and making projects - all of which I'll show you. But I just thought I'd pop you a little post to tell you about a semi-commitment I've made to myself to rid my life of sugar. I just got off the phone with my gorgeous girlfriend who lives down in Melbourne (let's call her the Nutrition Nazi). NN is doing a BA in Food Sciences and she is to say the least passionate about all things healthy food. At the mere mention of putting my boys on a "sugar free week plan" this week, she went into a long tirade about sugar and all its evils. Tirade makes it sound like torture - which it wasn't - its never torture talking to NN. I love her. The tirade has actually inspired me. As I write this I'm knocking back a <a href="http://www.losebabyweight.com.au/" target="_blank">Lose Baby Weight Smoothie</a> with raspberries, yoghurt & oat bran. Still not super organic but a long way from the Coke Zero I gulped down for breakfast!<br />
It all started with a kids party we went to on the weekend. Fabulous party. Biggest Candy Buffet I've seen in my life. The macarons were to die for! And I won't even mention the White Chocolate Cake Pops! The boys came home each with a box of treats weighing in at around 700g. EACH! Rainbow lollipops, Jelly Beans, Snakes, Smarties, Blocks of chocolate with personalised birthday girl wrappers... And they were absolute nightmares that night and all day the next day. Even monday morning they were still showing signs of sugar intoxication... Something had to be done!<br />
So last night, after dinner, when the inevitable question was asked "what's for dessert? Can I have ice cream?" My answer was easy. No. We're having a sugar free week. I've never seen 3 sadder faces (one of them was my husbands). You'd think I'd cancelled christmas! Their reaction has only fuelled my resolve on this. There's far too much junk food in our house. I need to purge it. Starting with the 4 litre paint tin full of lollies (thanks Wattyl)...<br />
Today is day one. I'll keep you updated on how it's going. I'm really interested to see if, how quickly and how much the boys behaviour is affected. I like experiments. Wish me luck!

What with all the pre-christmas craziness of buying far too many presents for our kids (I know I'm guilty of that one every year no matter what my intention is when I start my christmas shopping...), it's sobering to be confronted with the reality of less fortunate kids than ours and gives us cause to be so very grateful for all that we do have.</div>

All of them are disturbing in their own way, and the stories he tells about each child's situation only add to the weight of his images.</div>

These images made me feel a combination of shock and empathy for these kids. For how bleak their possibilities are and the narrowness of their worlds. Even the "priviledged" ones seem to have been robbed of their youth in some way. Parenting is such a tough road to tread. Often we struggle to make what we hope will be the right decisions for our kids - the choices that we hope will give them the best chance down the track to achieve what they want in life. But what's best for a child is so often very subjective isn't it? Would you be happy for any of these kids to be yours? </div>

On the vary rare occassion I find myself with a spare bit of time on the sofa in the evening, I like to browse around <a href="http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/House/VIC/Camberwell/?adid=2010132473" target="_blank">Domain</a> and dream a little. It's all in the name of aspiration.... My husband calls it self torture. </div>

Take a look at this little beauty I found in Camberwell Victoria... <a href="http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/House/VIC/Camberwell/?adid=2010132473" target="_blank">It's for sale for a meagre $3.45M</a> - and worth every penny by the looks of it.

<b>2. Fab new app for illustration lovers and card senders!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now even if this app weren't the brainchild of my dear friend Felicity Loughrey, I'd still be singing it's praises because it is pure genius. It's called <a href="http://cardlust.co/" target="_blank">CardLust</a> and it enables users to send e-cards to pals for special occassions or just because... <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/card-lust/id566352747?mt=8" target="_blank">get it on iTunes</a> for less than the price of a single greeting card and send art and love to your friends and family. There are twelve decadent designs to choose from by Brooklyn-based artist Elspeth Tremblay and 12 holiday-themed illustrations by Gold Coast-based Sara Hingle. Share your message via text, email or pin to social media. Have a thank-you note in your pocket, a pick-me-up for a pal and never miss a friend’s birthday again. </div>

So turns out it isn't just my blog I've been neglecting. Let me explain...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week I finally dragged myself along to Hugh's kindy reading groups for the first time in forever - seriously, it's been weeks (<i>I say weeks because I feel a bit bad about it but it's probably been more like a month or so... okay two...</i>). It had been so long that I'd forgotten the names of the groups and even some of the kids! Rude! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The glaringly obvious thing that I noticed, was how well some of the kids are suddenly reading! I chatted to a couple of mums and they mentioned that they all read with their kids every day for at least 15 minutes. Hmmmm - needless to say at this point that I <b>don't</b> do that. One also told me very gently that she reads with Hugh in groups and he could be doing better.... Not in a bad way - she was so PC about it. I really wasn't offended at all, just horrified. Cue competitive nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now in my defense, I find he really resists doing anything schoolwork related after school - and by that time of the day I'm exhausted and a little pre-occupied trying to achieve all the things I still haven't done for the day - like dinner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But we started last night. He was super tired and really struggled. We put the book away and did some more at breakfast this morning. A thousand times better when he was fresh! I am determined to get him back on track. Oh the pressure! If I don't put in the effort with him now and he gets left behind in kindy with his basic reading skills how will he ever go as he gets older! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it interesting how much you learn about yourself once you have kids? I was the same with my own homework when I was a kid. I'd do the barest minimum that I knew I could get away with until someone pulled me up on it. Then I'd lift my game, make an effort and do well. I don't really want to continue that pattern now - not when it's going to effect my childs future... It's time. Bad Mummy is now BANISHED... Wish me luck!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you do with your kiddos? Are you big readers? If they're in school do you do much homework? Please tell me there's someone out there as slack a parent as me!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a great little list of excellent books for reading with your wee ones. They're all classics. Notably absent is Roald Dahl though - for this age group he is THE BOMB. A fave in our house - when mummy bothers to read to them... x</div>

What do you think? This <a href="http://www.noosh.com.au/furniture/frankie-sets/frankie-sets.html" target="_blank">combination</a> is one of my faves. It's so fresh! We put out heads together for this new range and decided to add a couple of lovely new ideas to make having Frankie at your place even better! This one's called <a href="http://www.noosh.com.au/furniture/frankie-sets/frankie-sets.html" target="_blank">Frankie Sets</a>. That's a $200 saving when you buy 5 pieces! <i>And</i> we even throw in a couple of cushions to get the look really happening. Just hop over <a href="http://www.noosh.com.au/furniture/frankie-sets/frankie-sets.html" target="_blank">here</a> and start choosing! You can pick up extra covers now too so your Frankie's won't be naked at washtime...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And check out the <a href="http://www.noosh.com.au/wall-art/joey-geometrics/joey-geometrics.html" target="_blank">Joey Geo's</a> on the wall... Don't they just look great used as a frame? I picked up an $8 atlas from the second hand book store, added a little double sided tape and VOILA!</div>

This is a HUUUUGE part of the reason I've been a little bit MIA lately. Between curating the new season collection of Frankie fabrics (which we are beyond excited about), getting them made, shooting them, getting them up onto the website for our 2nd birthday celebrations next week... Phew! It's been a busy time! But I'm so proud to say it's nearly all done. And we couldn't be happier with the outcome! We absolutely love our new range. It's a totally new look for Frankie and we hope you will all love it as much as we do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take a look and see what you think. This is a snapshot of every piece available in the new collection. Don't you just want one of everything?</div>

Isn't it lovely? I've been pining for one of these for an age. <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/frenchbookcasescomau/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686" target="_blank">You can get them on eBay</a> in auctions starting at 1c. Yup. A cent my friends! Though they rarely go much shy of a grand in the end. Which is a smidge out of my league for a gratuitous piece of furniture that I don't really <i>need</i> at this stage... Which is what led me and my trusty paintbrush to pursue other options...</div>

Much to my friends' and family's horror, I snapped this baby up for a meagre $90! It's 2m wide and even taller than that! And as big as it is - it's even uglier than it is large. Yes, I admit it. It's beyond unattractive. Worse still, it's not even timber. And even worse than that - it had LED strip lighting inside the top half of it.... Enough said. It was sold to me as timber but that little eBayer needs a short lesson in construction materials because when a surface is cold and hard like that, all the fake grain in the world isn't going to change the fact that that puppy is some kind of plastic/laminate. My dear friend lovingly named this project "the big kahuna" - and that is no understatement.</div>

After the panic subsided, I hit the hardware and picked up a supersized tin of White Knight Grip Lock. Awesome stuff. It should be called "The Primer That Sticks To Anything!" </div>

It's not exactly what my wee heart desires, but it's better than no storage at all. And for a $90 outlay plus the paint it's not too bad at all! I just need to put some nicer handles on it and touch up all the scrapes my lovely husband added when he was putting the doors back on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Isn't it just amazing what a difference a coat of paint can do?</div>

Ever since I had my boys and the nesting hormones kicked in I've become more and more obsessed with art in my home. A framed piece on the wall can add so much personality to a room. And don't be fooled into thinking an artwork has to be a painting in a frame behind glass either - it can be anything you want it to be. </div>

I love the look of collections mounted in box frames. My husbands grandmother passed onto us some gorgeous treasures she collected throughout her life including these beautiful bone handled knives - they're way too pretty to use these days <i>(plus I'd be terrified they'd end up in the dishwasher!</i>) and make such a lovely reminder of her in our home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even ceiling roses look fantastic painted in gelato hues and hung on the wall...</div>

Something though that my interest in and love for has never waned is watercolours. Aside from being very on-trend right now, it can be a spectacular medium when used well and always provides a sense of calm. Take a look at these little lovelies I found. I'm wishing for one of them to turn up in my stocking this christmas...</div>

So I'm discovering that there are one or two bad things about not blogging for a while. The first and worst thing is that now I have come back to it, I've found a gazillion pictures on my desktop that all have a vaguely familiar feeling about them. Now I'm not quite sure if they look familiar to me because I saw them somewhere, liked them and saved them to show you... or if they look familiar because I've already shown you... So with that little secret disclosed, please excuse me if you've seen these before. I thought about just deleting them all but they're just too pretty for you to miss out on simply because I'm disorganised! So here they are - possibly for the second time - a lovely little collection of kids white rooms...</div>

Isn't this a clever idea? Even on the sunniest of days I sometimes struggle to get the boys engaged in an activity outdoors. It's a constant tug of war between me and the TV and on occassion it's come to removing the plug from the wall to get them off the sofa to enjoy a spring weekend in the garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing I like most about this is you can clean it with a quick spray of the hose when you're watering and it provides a lovely backdrop to the vibrant greens of the garden in the warmer months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's only one thing you need to keep in mind - and that's what material you choose to create your blackboard from. The usual suspects we'd go to for an indoor blackboard solution simply aren't going to cut it in an outdoor environment - any water near MDF, masonite or ply will spell a very premature end to your lovely new art spot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But there is a solution. It's called villaboard (also known as blueboard or cement sheeting) and it's perfect for outdoors. People often use it for garden features (like screens etc) and it'll work a treat with a coat of blackboard paint for the kiddos. Look for Blueboard on eBay for a good deal and you can just buy one - or most good hardware stores will have it too....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't forget too that you don't have to have a black blackboard.... <a href="http://theinteriorsaddict.com/sibella-court-interview" target="_blank">Sibella Court</a> has done a whole range of gorgeous blackboard paint colours for <a href="http://www.thesocietyinc.com.au/" target="_blank">Society Inc</a> through <a href="http://shop.murobond.com.au/" target="_blank">Murobond</a> which you can get <a href="http://shop.murobond.com.au/chalkboard-paint/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Wouldn't some of those look great out the back? And if you're feeling creative, mix up your own! Imagine that Cherry Nose with a little extra Farrier mixed in to give it more depth... Or if you're feeling really creative, there are <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/200128777161612816/" target="_blank">loads of chalkboard paint recipes all over pinterest</a>, why not have a go at mixing one up from scratch?</div>

I <i>neeeeed</i> one of these in my life! Doesn't it make you want to do a class in glass blowing? (<i>maybe that's just me - I'm a bit odd that way...</i>). It seems to me there's a mini trend emerging in decorative glass art.

Aren't they lovely? Each one is handmade from English Lead Crystal and has a price tag to match the loveliness... 175 clams a piece! Oh but imagine the patterns the light would throw on your walls... They'd be stunning hung in a room with walls painted in deep velvety tones so they could cast their maximum twinkle effect.</div>

I bought this piece on eBay what seems like ages ago now. She sat on my verandah for a while before I gathered the motivation to tackle her. I love taking on these 70s style orange disasters. They give such a sense of gratification when they're finished as the transformation is always dramatic and positive. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sanded and then painted every square inch of her in a delicious shade of sage green called Globe Artichoke by Taubmans. Dulux also do a similar shade called Robinhood but I prefer the Taubmans tint. Her drawer fronts and interiors were covered in a Porters Wallpaper designed by Catherine Martin called Lace in Champagne and the whole lot was finished in a satin clear polyeurathane from Cabots. In hindsight, I wish I'd used a water-based varnish as this one has had an impact on the colour giving it a slightly yellowed hue - not so noticeable on the paintwork but a bit of a disappointing result for the gorgeous wallpaper. Tabitha and I have been using a water-based varnish on our recent pieces and it's so much nicer to use. It has virtually no odour, is much thinner and easier to apply and doesn't leave any yellow cast on your piece - and of course, it's a lot kinder to the environment! Though not as sympathetic to your budget at around 3 times the price of an oil based....</div>

What do you think? Would you like her at yours?</div>

So turns out I'm not a woman of my word, and back to regular posts hasn't made it into a reality. Well, that's not 100% accurate - I have <i>tried</i> to post... it' just hasn't <i>actually </i>happened. All it took though to make me get my rear into gear was one completely sweet message from Vanessa on Facebook - thanks for the love Vanessa! It's worked!</div>

Now, if you've been around on NooshLoves for a year, you'll know that October brings the birthday of Mr Hugh, my eldest bundle of trouble. He always but <i>always</i> has the most detailed of requirements for his party plans. In the past it's been a <a href="http://nooshkids.blogspot.com.au/2010/10/rainbow-party-fun.html" target="_blank">Rainbow Theme</a>, a <a href="http://nooshkids.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/circus.html" target="_blank">Circus</a> (we even had <a href="http://nooshkids.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/free-printable-circus-party-invites.html" target="_blank">circus party invites</a> for this which you could <a href="http://nooshkids.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/free-printable-circus-party-invites.html" target="_blank">download and print</a> for your own party, and <a href="http://nooshkids.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/diy-circus-big-top-pinata.html" target="_blank">we made our own pinata</a>), and this year is no different - this year he's requested a world of SuperHeroes. <i>*sigh*</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First port of call is always going to be Pinterest for inspiration.<i>.. </i><a href="http://pinterest.com/NooshLoves/superhero-party/" target="_blank">This is my Superhero Party board</a>, and here are a few pins that I'm thinking will be handy...</div>

My favourite product in the store isn't actually a product though - it's a service. Tabitha and I will treasure hunt a piece for you and customise it to your needs! Need a stunning art deco display cabinet in Hermes orange? What about a vintage industrial dining table with a black distressed finish? No matter what you have in mind, we'll track it down, give it the Relov'd treatment and deliver it to your door. Can't ask for more than that can you? <a href="http://downthatlittlelane.com.au/relov-d/product/13431-relov-d-sage-sideboard" target="_blank">Hop on over and check out the store</a> and tell me what you think!!!! </div>
