i have always said i would never be one of those mothers who throws an extravagant party
for my child's first birthday. the child is one, they have no idea what's going on.
i have nothing against mother's who go to town for first birthdays, all power to them,
but it's just not me.
now you would think that same logic would extend to the decorating of our baby's room.
she's a newborn, if the theories are true, she can't even see colours yet!
maybe it's instinctual though, the whole nesting thing,
because i just couldn't help myself
and who knows, one day i may eat my words about extravagant first birthdays too
her baby quilt is twenty three years old, from when her mumma was a baby!
everything else is hand made or second hand, cos we're thrifty like that
