I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday break so far! As all my family is in the US and my partner who’s family is in beautiful Wanaka originally thought that he would have to be working through – we are having a “staycation” in Auckland this year!

With so many people leaving the Auckland region for the holidays we thought it would be a great time to explore our “new” home. Unfortunately the weather gods have had other plans. Providing us with some pretty bad weather.

So we’ve made the most of it with doing what we love!

I FINALLY got some new gym shoes (been wanting some for about a year – yay!) and have really given them a go with going to the gym for the last five days straight – wowie (helps justify that summer wine of course)! I did the girly thing of cleaning out my closet, tidied up my desk (that was seriously needed) and have given our apartment a nice big clean. We’ve also made some delicious meals (pictured top right – recipe to come) and did my first baking in four months! Since going super healthy I’ve stopped baking – which breaks my heart – but sacrifices have to be made…  We also managed to get on over to White’s & Co  (pictured bottom left) for a delicious soft serve yogurt treat thank’s to The Collective!

Fingers crossed, the weather is supposed to improve and tomorrow we’re venturing out for our first tiki tour! I’m sure to keep you posted and hope you’re all having a lovely break full of family, friends, and great food! x

The holidays are quickly approaching…which means the New Year is near!  Here is a range of our stationery to help keep you organised and calm in 2013. Help keep your New Years resolutions with our lovely range of calendars, note pads, and cards.

These items make lovely gifts as well – remember this is the last week to order to ensure everything arrives in time for Santa!

Being the holiday season and the New Year quickly approaching - dreams, goals and resolutions are on the mind!  One of my big dreams is to have our own Toodles Noodles HQ!  At the moment this lovely company is run out of me and my partners apartment. We have dedicated one bedroom to a lovely office with a desk handcrafted by my Mr!  But as stock levels are increasing and orders are flying through – it has us dreaming of the big leagues – and with that a big office!

Our dream office would consist of lots of natural light, a huge cutting table with storage underneath, stunning shelving to hold and display our stock, lots of natural wood, a relaxing soft seating area, and the icing on the cake – it would be located in a small barn on our property! (and yes, I’ve started playing lotto for this big dream…)

Here is a selection of stunning studios... come dream a little dream with me!  Have a studio of your own, we’d love to see pictures! x

It’s true!
