Gong Xi Fa Cai 🧧🥮 🐲 to those celebrating Chinese/Lunar this weekend/coming weeks.

I thought I would share how we celebrate in our household - we’ve been busy cleaning (washing away any bad luck, no cleaning to happen during the celebration as it could wash away good luck), making sure we have a big stock of rice, oranges to gift to family for good luck (and we have already received some too), the girls will receive red packets from us and family, as Mark and I are married we no longer receive them but we will gift to unmarried family and friends. The girls have been planning their outfits - lots of red and gold, Cheongsam tonight (NYE) brand new clothes for tomorrow the New Year’s Day, for a fresh start to the year, Cheongsam again on Sunday. We will celebrate reunion dinner with immediate family at Marks parents tonight - check in stories later to see what Ah Ma cooks up, it’s always an amazing feast, tomorrow we will visit the marae at Te Papa for a dance celebration with all different cultures that celebrate the lunar new year (11-1pm if you want to come along), another dinner with wider family (my parents will join) and then Sunday we will go to Yum Cha with friends and see the lion dance come thru the restaurant (Dragon at 11am I’ve been told if you want to try book!). There will be more dinners across the next couple of weeks, so much eating! Interested to hear how others will be celebrating too 🥠🧧🥮🐉

Having some fun on the windows today. Our newly double-glazed, original sashes are being reinstalled and the installers are kindly letting me be annoying and go around painting the bar between the two sashes and the frame behind the spring (which is encased in a tube) that will replace the old sash weights before they put the front sashes and springs in. We are fixing the top sashes so it would be difficult to paint these spots otherwise.

We’re going full colour in the bedrooms and doing the same colour on walls, architraves, windows, doors. This is the girls bedroom and the colour is Pataua Beach, a yellow beige (a yeige?!).

I love kids rooms that are fun and colourful. Remember in the mid/late 2000s being inspired/aspiring to the ?! Even though kids weren’t on my radar at the time I loved all the kids rooms - they were always fun, chaotic, colourful, unique. Before the days of Pinterest and banal white/wicker/brown rainbow/Kmart inspired kids rooms reigning supreme.

So we are having fun in this room - the theme is ‘The Sun’ and we are leaning into it 🌞💛🌞
