What's Hot & What's Not...belated post...


see: Photo above borrowed from Kimono Reincarnate's etsy store

Belated What's Hot + What's Not posting because I have been run off my feet which is something I'm trying not to do! Especially important for me to be rested...but somes weeks are harder to control then others!

What's Hot:

Not getting gastro (see: What's Not hot)

A growing belly at 20 weeks...

Lots of walks to the park...

Lovely Spring weather, Melbourne can turn it on when it feels like it!....

Catching up with all my sisters and watching all our children play happily...

Cousins bonding...

Purchasing a couple of treats along the way...like my beautiful necklace & ring from Melanie @ Kimono Reincarnate's etsy store...haven't taken them off since they arrived in the post and the packaging is just gorgeous!

On impulse purchasing a Christmas decoration today and loving that feeling of the Silly season arriving!...

Booking my tickets to fly interstate for my sisters birthday at the end of November. I'm taking my daughter who is so excited about travelling on a plane, she wants to go now!

Writing and Editing our latest Playgroup newsletter and in the process teaching myself the programme Publisher. I haven't mastered it by any means but it's still a thrill to teach yourself a new skill and put my creative writing to practice...this edition went out to 130 family's in our area... a bit chuffed.

What's not:

Everyone (except me) getting gastro in the family!!! My partner had it for four days!!! Was nice to have him home though...

My son in the same week he gets gastro, also has headlice...He is now sporting a very groovy short hairstyle... our quick fix solution for a little guy with a very thick head of hair...

Actually seeing how much food we are tossing from our fridge on a weekly basis and wondering why this is so?....it feels so wrong throwing out food that has gone 'off' that could have fed someone...anyone...Must manage the amount we are cooking per ratio of heads in the family!!!

Finally, losing my blogging daily mojo after being able to blog almost everyday in October, I want to find that little more consistancy....

For more fun What's Hot + What's Not..either read or play along with Loobylu's meme...go on I know you want to!!

How exciting being included in a "What's Hot" list! Glad you didn't get gastro - but bummer about the rest of the family!

So glad you escaped the gastro - and sorry you have lost your blogging mojo - me too! If it wasn't for What's Hot + What's Not I would be finding it harder and harder to update! End of year sluggishness perhaps. xx
