And he’s off!

31 01 2007

Yes, that’s right - N is off to school.  He was so excited this morning, and looked so grown up in his uniform.  Unfortunately our digital camera wasn’t working, so you’ll have to wait until we get our film developed…

I’m jumping on the Business Mums Blogging Challenge (melissakhalinsky.com/blog/?cat=16).

A site I would like to recommend it Oli B Designs (www.olibdesigns.com.au), especially their Chenille pants. These are fabulous. Justine sent my son a pair for his birthday and he LOVES them.

For washing, we just throw them in the machine on a cold wash & they wash well. If he could, N would live in them!

I highly recommend ...
