I'm Really Missing Blogging! ...

... And I have A LOT of posts floating around in my head, but we have been busy:


  • As we speak I hope Kevin is on his way home from completing his LAST EVER exam!  Woo hoo!  Brian was cheering about this one too.  He still has one more year of uni left, but no classes per se.
  • I seem to be nesting, 5 months AFTER the birth of my baby.  We have SO MUCH STUFF, mostly in the way of paper, and I want it gone.
  • A bit of running around - to the post office (nephew's birthday present on it's way), dry cleaners (dress being cleaned for Kevin's work Christmas party), groceries (and to Aldi for the limited edition BOXED nappies at a bargain price) and the search for a plastic box that fits nicely into our linen cupboard (not yet found).
  • FINALLY cleared the size 2 clothes (yes) out of my 3 year old's drawers.  We totally missed the timing to buy him size 3 clothes, so I used the "we will hand it down to Simon" excuse and shopped one step up from the usual Kmart/Target/Big W.
  • Speaking of clothing clear outs, I also emptied out my dresser drawers and "filed" away the unused (out of season and pre 2nd baby body), but still wanted clothing.  Shall I admit that some things had been in those drawers, unworn for over 12 months?!
  • A little crafting has been going on.  A couple of cards, a few tags, but mostly the desire for a clean desk. It was perfectly clean after making a wedding card recently, but then I've been secretly working on finishing up last year's December Daily (I know!) and that was the end of that!
  • A lot of Christmas planning, thinking and doing has been happening.  We are part way through a pretty awesome present that I wanted mailed on Monday.  Hoping to get it off on Friday now.  Gifts are falling into place, a new advent calendar has been purchased (had to ditch the baby socks), cards have been planned since January.
  • And I joined Pinterest, need I say more?!

  3. WOW you are one busy lady, good for you getting so much done. I need to get stuff done soon before kids are home on xmas break. When they are home nothing gets done. I want to make some Christmas activities cards for them this year and find some craft ideas to keep busy with.

    I have clothes in my closet that have been there for 2 years and not worn. One day I need to clean out all the old clothes and from my kids closets too.

    Congrats on Kevin and hope he did great.
    Enjoy the weekend
