I can’t think of a better way to enjoy this amazing Autumn weather we are having than going on a little puppy play date. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kate from Magnolia Rouge and her pup Charlie for the first time, and the oh so lovely Coralee from Coralee and Alex Photography and their pup Spencer for a little puppy play date. We all stood on as very proud puppy mama’s while we watched our fluffy bundles run and play around on the beach with each other – I now have a Kora curled up in a little ball fast asleep next to me, yay for puppy play dates we will have to do it again soon! x

You know you live in Auckland when it has been freezing cold and snowing during the week and then hot and sunny on the weekend! We have had the most perfect Sunday pottering around the Takapuna markets, wandering up and down the beach and then catching up with friends over tea, hot chocolate and french pastries. Total bliss! I have to thank everyone for all their lovely comments about Made From Scratch’s 1st Birthday, so sweet of you! I hope everyone has had a truly wonderful weekend, xx
