We're Celebrating my folks 40th year Wedding Anniversary

It's the 15th of January today and also my parents 40th year of being married. WOW, FORTY YEARS!!! We're sending them a whole lot of love to congratulate them and a big thank you for being such amazing role models to my brothers, sister and I.

Here are a few tips they have shared with us on how to have a long lasting marriage. 

1. Keep doing what you did when you first met.

2. Your partner should be your confidant and your best friend.

3. Never ever lose your manners.

4. It's still cool to hold hands after 40 years of marriage.

5. Laugh together.

6. Have an open and trusting relationship with each other and your children if you have any.

7. A relationship with God.

{Digital Wallpaper} Desktop, ipad & iphone Calendars

Our first DIY post of the year on theprettyblog.

It's 2012 and we are getting back into the swing of things here at Elephantshoe after a lovely holiday in the Cape. Our week started with a bit of spring cleaning, administration and diary management for the upcoming projects, weddings and meetings. 

After spending some time organising folders and files on my laptop I realised that I didn't have a desktop calendar for January. I like to have something fresh for each month so we have decided to put one together for January, February and March for this weeks DIY post. If you, like me like your devices to be synced, we have edited these wallpapers to be digitally friendly on both your iphone and ipad. Simply download them from this post and upload them to your gadgets.
