Well my friends I am pretty sure most of you know in just over 3 months my beautiful girl will finish high school and we are heading off to Europe to celebrate. I know I am biased but she is a truly amazing girl and her and I have been planning this in our heads since she was about 7 and she turns 17 this week... We haven't been overseas before (well my hubby has been to the US and NZ with work and I have been to Singapore but many, many moons ago) so it is a huge adventure. So I am hoping that all my well traveled blogging friends may share some of their wisdom especially if they have a favourite place to stay etc as looking for accommodation on the other side of the world a little intimidating....but at this stage this is our sort of itinerary.
There will be 5 of us traveling...
3 nights London
5 - 7 nights Paris
7 days driving around the French countryside
1 night Nice
1 night Verona
2 nights Venice
3 days car hire through Maggiore
3 nights Rome........
If anyone has any suggestions I would so appreciate it :)

Well Kirstie is in her last 10 weeks of school..Quiet unbelievable really!!!!! As we speak she is sitting the second day of the biggest exam of her school life!!! So I just thought I would share something that I think is just beautiful of her final art work...The subject is personal......The title generation....The top image is of kirstie is a little petticoat that I wore when I was about 5 that my mum made for me and these are the words she wrote on it ......you are my universe, my shining light my blue butterfly flying through the sky, my romeo my millions of words with beautiful covers and my every breath. When I think of you my mind wonders to the delicate wings of a butterfly. When I think of you my mind wonders to my one and only confidant that is always there. You are the smell of freshly made bread, you are the star that kisses the moon, you are each stitch of a dress and you are the flowers that sway in the breeze. When I think of you I think of the beautiful sky above. When I think of you I know I'm home............ She has used the dress that my mum made me for my wedding and the butterflies are a symbol of us all......I hope you like it :)
