FYBF – Not what you know but who you know {A Giveaway !}

By: mamagrace7132 Comments

You gotta love that famous saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Remember the funky outfit I wore for my “How to party in your 40’s” FYBF Vlog ?

Well, let me remind you…

Unfortunately, I can’t take full credit for creating that entire – from earrings to boots –  ensemble.

I received so many lovely compliments though, I thought it was high time I introduced the lovely lady who’s actually responsible.

For almost 2 years, Veronica has saved me from many a moment of fashion despair. I also know I can rely on her to help me find the perfect birthday or thank you present.

You see, thanks to my recently mummy staple of trackies and jeans, I’ve become somewhat a little fashion impaired.  I know little about what’s pretty these days. But Veronica does.  And boy, am I glad to claim her as one of my glamorous friends who never fails when waving her personal stylist magic wand.

It gives me great pleasure to announce this very special giveaway to my beloved Floggers.

Veronica has generously offered some truly beautiful pieces for you guys…

Pretty Black and Gold Earrings (nickel free). Retail value: $29

FYBF – The Bow Chica Bow Wow Edition

By: mamagrace7150 Comments

Looking to crank up the heat in the bedroom ? Do certain body parts require an extra…errr, boost ?  Maybe you need a pair of (as Mr Surfer calls them) “fancy pants” ?

Look no further!  Head on over to the amazing lingerie stall that I (ahem) stumbled into at Sydney’s Paddy’s Markets.

Bow chica bow wow at its finest and at budget prices!

Ignoring the “No Photos” sign, I snuck around like a super sleuth.

All for the love of my FYBF Floggers.

You’re welcome.

If they had this in hot pink, I would totes buy it. Truly...

Wonder Woman? French Maid? Or naughty school girl ? Hmmm..tough decisions...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's padded undies!!!

 Okay, enough of the crazy raunchiness !  Time to get floggin’ !!!

FYBF – The Mother’s Day Edition

By: mamagrace7144 Comments

Do you remember your first Mother’s Day ?

The twinlets were barely 3 months for mine. I had just come out of an excruciatingly painful 2 month bout of nipple thrush.  I was severely sleep deprived and hells cranky.

There was definitely no joy that day.  No flowers or chocolates.

Instead, I ended up having a massive morning blow-up with Mr Surfer.

To escape  the wrath of his crazed wife, he took the boys for a long walk .  And I caught up on some much needed sleep.

When the grumpiness subsided, Mr Surfer handed me a card.  In it, was a simple, yet heartfelt mention how much my family appreciate me as their mum. Especially during those miserable months of breast feeding in agony.  With a little help from their dad, my little boys had also scribbled their names.

The love in that card could melt candle wax.

And that’s all I needed for that day.

No glamour.  But every bit memorable.

 

However you spend it this year, hope yours is a fabulous one !  You deserve it.

Now, let’s spread the Mother’s Day love with your fellow Floggers !!!
