As our beautiful daughter turns three on Monday, the way she has developed into a caring fun little person makes me appreciate how lucky i am to have her in my life.

Her smile makes me laugh, the tickle cuddles i get when i put her to bed, even though she has attitude i still love her. I wish my Nanna got to meet her, got to see this joyful child. She would have loved her sense of humour. I remember all the time i spent with my Nanna, playing in the park with her for hours, drawing in her yard. All those amazing christmas lunch's we had together. I wish i told her i love her one last time before her dementia took her mind and body. All those opportunities i had to talk to her but i was busy living my life. Should i feel guilty i don't know.  All i know is she is gone, gone to a better place, a place with no pain and no suffering and to be back with my Granddad who was taken away 20 years ago.

23 Cafe Restaurant Bar

23 Cafe Restaurant Bar

I have been to a few Cafe's and Restaurants since last year but i lost so much time and a bit of interest but i feel this weekend has changed a few things. We invited Tess from Tesspresso to go to the zoo with us and she invited us to go to a Cafe. There are 3 things i believe that can make a Cafe' good or great.

1. Quality of food
2. Price of food
3. Staff

If you don't have all three things you can be missing the key ingredient and this has happened a few times. A couple of Cafe's we go to have lost a staff member who changes the whole atmosphere of the place.  They know their customers by names and usual order or are fantastic with kids as well.
We still like going there but its not the same, even though they have the same great food and coffee. You want to feel welcomed or like you are part of the family and that is where 23 Cafe Restaurant Bar comes into it. This Cafe was welcoming to us as new customers, it is well priced and the quality of food was fantastic. The food was very picturesque as well.

After Iris had her Babychino, the owners daughter played together with Iris while we had some food and took some pictures.

 

 

 
The Waffles are crispy and the spices are perfect, the Falafels are moist and not too spicy. The eggs broke and the yolk ran down the toast and it went great with Halloumi. We were not disappointed with anything and the beautiful coffees matched the meals. By the time we left we all hugged and said our goodbyes. We really feel like family and love this place.
If you are ever in Ringwood please pop on it.
Have you been here.

Its been nearly a year since my last post, life is hectic with a two year old as i don't get much sleep or any time to myself. We have become obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons and gone on a few holidays. We went to Singapore for 2 weeks and then we have done short trips around Victoria. I have been playing around with B&W pics and have had a great time.

Hopefully i will be able to start getting back to blogging.
Have a safe easter.
