Today is Daffodil Day here in NZ.
It's all to do with cancer.. and remembering and HOPING (and fundraising!)
 My mama died of cancer. |
| Some things turn a bit yellow for the day over here in NZ. The kids trundled off to school with yellow t'shirts on, clutching their gold coins. We wear yellow at our place. I thought I was a woman of many colours but today, unlike other years, I FOUND NOTHING YELLOW to wear! ( maybe there's something in a box in the garage that I haven't unearthed since the move...?) |
 |
| Apart from bags and other accessories! |
 |
| So that will be my new op shop mission!!! I'm on a Yellow Hunt! |
 |
| Our regular friday playgroup jaunt. |
 |
| I made this lemon slice to share with the other mamas and dads.. (so good - it's like lemon meringue pie in a slice) |
 |
| The kids iced biscuits with yellow icing and 100s and 1000s... That's a vintage baby dress ( Iris is wearing it as a top) from my childhood. |
 |
| Cuteness... (It's also the last official last day of Winter) Spring is beginning to emerge.. I LOVE Spring! |

So much loveliness! My mama died of cancer too. I love the beautiful pic of you and Arlo - and could we PLEEEEEASE have the lemon-slice-that's-like-lemon-meringue-pie recipe!?
Yay for the end of winter - but it snowed and sleeted here today... so it doesn't feel like the end yet...

I lost my mother in law last year to this horrible illness :( yellow is such a happy colour and hopefully bring happy memories of your Mum, take care, Ada :) x
Ah, what lovely photos, especially the first one of you and Arlo. Good luck in your yellow hunt, I am sure you will find something grand, and look as fab as the kids, and your lemon slices! So sorry you lost your mama, yellow is a wonderfully cheery colour yet I can feel the sadness too. xxxx
it´s cool!
Beautiful pics spreading the word of a needed cause, but also a dad of remembering.
The kiddies all look delightful in yellow. Wishing you yellow, sunshiny goodness in your hunts at the oppies.
I too wouldn't say no to the recipe of such a wonderful sounding slice. X
A lovely post and gorgeous photos. I have been wearing my daffodil all week. I lost my mother-in-law to cancer so I am very supportive of Daffodil week. Yes, please share the lemon slice recipe - it looks delicious.
So sorry you lost your Mama honey:(. Yellow is a perfect color for remembering people who brought so much warmth into our lives. You and your kids are so adorable! Here's to springtime baby!
Xxoo
