 How often do you meet a natural talent and have not been able to tell the world about them?
Chrissy at Hide and Seek Photography is one of these gems, just passionate about kids photography and cannot sit still. Sound familiar?
Hide & Seek photography comes from Chrissys love of the carefree, uncomplicated spirit in children. Her photos capture their unique traits and personality.
She works outdoors utilising Australia`s stunning landscapes and natural light to capture the beauty of children and families. Aren`t we all more relaxed and happy in our own backyards and neighbourhood surrounds?
It isnt just children either; Chrissy took amazing photos at my 40th birthday. They were so good and there were so many, my permanent momento is a coffee table book that tells an amazing story from lunch until dawn!
 Something for you when you want to look your best.
Daniel Learmont is an amazing talent; couture not just for brides or fashion runways. Have your own designs brought to life or work with Daniel to design a piece, creating something truly spectacular for your special occasion.
As he puts it: Shape, size, material. The possibilities are endless. Looking stunning in a stylish dress does not mean spending thousands on a famous designer label or trying to squeeze into a smaller size. The most important factors are attractive, creative design, the overall balance of the garment, and the way it is tailored to fit your figure
He also offers a personalized styling service that includes Wardrobe Analysis, Fashion Trends, clothing and make up selection, for Corporate, Weddings or Everyday.
things to buy
 Who has struggled to cope with a child that dribbles a lot? Three or four shirt changes a day, skin irritation and all that kind of thing? Well, have we found the best ever solution or what? Simple, stylish AND effective!
Teething bibs for little cool dudes (and dudettes!). They have a cotton front with fleece backing. The fleece keeps moisture away from your little one’s clothes and neck and chest while the drool catcher collar keeps the wetness off the underside of their chin, eliminating saliva rashes.
All bibs are proudly hand made in central west NSW with quality materials and are double stitched for durability. They are adjustable to three different neck sizes and come in an amazing array of unique patterned styles. We love them.
 Fuzzy Farm pocket bunting; it is that simple and wonderful.
These colourful celebratory fabric and oilcloth banners are great. We bought a pink floral design as a Christmas gift for the daughter of our boss; she loved it! Day to day you can use the plain side for simple decoration or do as Alana is going to, put photos of her Gran and Gramps, Uncles and Aunts (who are all overseas) in the clear plastic pockets so she can see tham all the time from her new bunk bed.
I particularly like the oil cloth version that you can use chalk on.... a handy decorative to do list and learning aid to put up in the kitchen or bedroom.
Hand made with great attention to detail that comes from a country cottage industry. 
 Did you grow up with a favourite wrap that stayed with you throughout your childhood, ending up under your pillow for evening comfort?
This Pure Australian Merino wool Baby Wrap from the Woolerina BabyMate Range features the natural properties of pure wool making it the ideal choice for babies wear. It provides natural breathability, moisture absorption, heat retention and dispersion capabilities. Merino wools superior ability to respond to changes in both body and atmospheric temperatures help to reduce dampness and skin irritation while its anti-microbial properties ensure that your children are exposed to fewer pathogens, reducing sickness and allergies. These natural properties of the Merino fibre ensure your little ones are always comfortable.
I have been wearing my Woolerina short sleeve crew for more than 5 years now, especially in the winter months out at the farm. They are Australian Made with all garment construction happening from the Woolerina base at Forbes, NSW.
This wrap is your babys comforter, protection, warmth, your childhood blankie AND they represent great value. This wrap will be with you for a generation, it will certainly be part of your box filled with childhood treasures.
 We discovered Queen B candles just around the corner... one of those cases where the best thing is right under your nose, undiscovered until now!
Queen B are individually made from 100% pure Australian beeswax and pure cotton wick. They are free from paraffin (a petrochemical by-product), soy, palm (which are both hydrogenated oils), fragrances and scents.
When burned correctly Queen B candles will not smoke or drip, and the wicks will not disintegrate or drown in their own wax.
We also discovered that a beeswax candle is also said to be a natural ioniser when it is burning, purifying your air of dust, pollen, odours, toxins, mould and mildew whilst leaving a light, natural honey scent.
Natural, calming and romantic.... so worth it. Tell the Queen B we sent you ;)
 Another country mum shares her talent with us to create gorgeous blocks and quilts for your bub.
Milladdi kids is home of all things handmade for those amazing little people in our lives. Suzie creates 10x10cm square wooden blocks and lovely custom ordered quilts. Just pick a colour scheme or a subject theme and she will do the rest.
Her love is to make everything a one off, to match that special little room. It can be such a task finding that something special for a newborn or a childs birthday, so hopefully some of her ideas will help.
things to do
 How fantastic to be able to hire a range of games that are big, and are also for big kids (read that as the whole family!)
Yardparty™ has a huge range of giant, outdoor, team and educational games for indoor and outdoor use. Wet weather activities at home for the holidays? Birthday party - 3 to 103 (I did have some fun at my 40th with giant connect 4 and giant jenga, the kids also loved it).
They have a comprehensive range of games available with flexible hire arrangements, providing superb entertainment and novel talking points at any house party, school activity, corporate day or group event.
Operators in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Ballarat.
brilliant idea
 See, we knew there was someone out there who could help out with a much better party food option. Shame it is only available in Perth at the moment, but we hear it is brilliant (a close associate made sure to give us a full review!)
The true inspiration behind Hungry Little Monsters came from the heart; too much time spent preparing and serving food, only to miss out on all the fun and fond memories! When did you last relax and enjoy without rushing off to the shop for forgotten ingredients, and then spending hours cleaning up after the party.
None of the deep fried, fatty foods from the local fast food restaurants or food from a box out of the freezer. They prepare delicious, healthy and fun foods that your children will want to eat. You don’t have to worry about all those artificial ingredients or preservatives.
Hungry Little Monsters is for all those wonderful childrens events, including:
• Birthday Parties
• Christmas Parties
• Christenings
• Playgroup Parties
• School Parties
• Corporate Family Fun Days
• Baby Showers
