My Place and Yours

In case you don't follow me on twitter or facebook (obviously you should), I have given My Place and Yours to it's second owner Vic from Punky & Me she started on Saturday and already there is 38 people playing along. Way better than the one or two that used to play along with me over here, so it's defiantly in a better place.
This week's theme is On The Shelf 

This is my bookshelf shelf, I'm not game to put any 3M hooks on these walls so everything is propped up on shelves or still in boxes for now.  Michael snuck his little cars and diggers up there while I wasn't looking, it is his house too so I guess I'll just have to keep walking past them : ) 

If you want to play along as well head on over to see Vic

Every Monday I'll post a new theme for you to rack your brain with, take some photos then blog about it, when your done come back and add your link down the bottom so we can all have a sticky beak. Sounds good right?

What do you eat off? Do you live in miss-matched heaven like us or do you have a whole setting?

Dani and I were talking about this on Saturday, she is buying all new matching stuff, and I am quite envious. It may be time for me to do the same thing, it would be nice to have a full matching set. The white one we have we bought when we were getting married, it's getting a bit old and battered now, so get snapping and show me yours!

Show me what do you have in your house that makes you smile? 

Because today I am dealing with a very grumpy snot faced toddler who wants yogurt and won't be happy til he has eaten all the yogurt in the house, and this. Sigh. 

This is my wedding bouquet which sits on top of my fridge. In a few short months we will have been married for 5 years but it still makes me smile when I see it.

What is your favorite household appliance? 

Ours is this beauty here. It was part of Michael's 30 presents. Its a Nespresso coffee maker and it's pretty sister the milk frother.  I admit when I bought it I was swayed by the fact George Clooney  is in the TV ads, but it's actually a really good machine, so easy just put water in a coffee pod and press start, same with the milk, fill the frother and press the button, it stops when the milk is done.  So much love. 

Now get snapping and show me yours!

Show me your fridge? Is it side by side? Is it upside down? Is it coloured? Is there a story behind it? Do you love it or hate it?

I know we've done this one before. But we have moved since then and our fridge looks different here. Good enough reason to play again right?

This week I'd like to see what you can see from your bathroom window. 

This is actually the view from the kids bathroom but our view is almost the same. We live in a new estate so there is a lot of building going on. We were hoping next door would stay vacant a little longer. No such luck, this morning we woke up to the noise of a bob cat. Hopefully they will be done by the time this baby is born!

I really enjoyed playing along with this theme when Dani still had MPAY, so I'm pulling it out again. 

I am in the market for more tea towels, and I have my eye on these, they are seriously fun.

So show me your tea towels!

So this week I want you to show me: What do you have that's Orange? 


Michael and I dream of having a Mexican inspired house full of colour. For now we will settle for Mexican inspired pots.

This week I want to see your cookbooks.  Where do they live? Have you got a ridiculous amount of them? 

As I'm unpacking my cookbooks are going on my kitchen bench, I love that we have enough kitchen space in this house to have them in the kitchen. 

I get the irony that my Jenny Craig cookbook is next to my Donna Hay chocolate cookbook. It wasn't planned but I quite like it that way now.

Check out all that space my books look tiny!

So go get snapping and show me what you've got!

Housework. I hate it, I love a clean house but I hate getting it that way. My most hated part of the housework? The washing up. I think it must be because my back is turned from the children so it's usually when bad things happen.

What's your most hated part of the housework?

My husband informed me last night that me pregnant and music is a bad combination. I have to agree with him, I'm worse than a teenager when I'm pregnant. For the last few weeks I have been getting more and more obsessed with this song.  

So what's your favorite song? Share your youtube video or a picture of your favorite CD.  Is there a story behind it or do you just love it?

This week I want to see that thing that everyone comments on when they come to your house for the first time. It can be part of your house or something in your house. Mine is my voodoo knife man, everyone says something about it. My sister bought it for me for Christmas, I bought her the same one for Christmas. That's what I call good sisters.

This is what my house would look like if I was single. Luckily for Michael I love him enough not to even suggest it.

Lately I seem to be talking about washing machines a lot. Exciting I know. Front loader, top loader, washing powder, washing liquid. You'd be amazed how may conversations I've had about this. I really need a hobby.

So show me your washing machine! Do you love it? Hate it? Want a different sort?

My eye has been drawn to animal prints lately, I don't know if I need some in my wardrobe or somewhere in the house. So this week I want to know: Do you have any Animal print in your house?

This week I've been looking at bags, this one is my staple everyday handbag that I fondly call my suitcase because it is huge and can fit snacks, drinks, nappies, wipes and all the junk I take with me everywhere.

So what sort of bag do you have? Handbag? Nappy Bag? Satchel?

So this week I want to know: Whats one thing you buy every time you food shop?

While I was thinking if this I thought ours would be yogurt. Until I realised the amount of cheese we seem to consume. The boys take cheese to school/Kindy. Michael eats it like its going to run out. And cheese and Vegemite sandwiches are very popular.

I'd like to thank Dani from Just The Three Of Us for being the only one who played last week, thanks hun you rock. As for the rest of you get snapping!

While we were on our very long holiday I missed my bed terribly, so this weeks theme is What's on your bed?

Not surprisingly our bed is covered in pink. Poor Michael
