I'm back!!!

Well don't fall over, but I'm back blogging!!!  So sorry I haven't been able to keep you all up to date with my very exciting life, but I've been busy!!!

So, what have I been up to?  Settling in to a new school for starters.  Kallangur is lovely.  Staff lovely.  Kids mostly lovely.  Having my own kids at school, lovely!  So most things are good at the moment.  I felt overwhelmed at the beginning of term.  I'm the only new kid on the block this year but everyone has been super friendly and helpful. 

The girls have got two fabulous teachers!  If I had been at the school previously, I would have chosen them myself, so that is one big relief!!  Abbie's made a large group of friends and Caitlyn has 1 new good friend and seems to be friendly with most of her class. 

So, other goings on.....  We're busy debt freeing/saving for a house by Christmas!  Big goal, but we WILL get there.  Sean's settled into his new job in Brisbane, has quit smoking (2 months now) and has lost 10cm from his waist!!!  Personal training is amazing!!  Me, still the same weight, but happy....

Caitlyn started netball again this week.  She has come such a long way and their team won their first game Saturday!  She's in the A division now, so very high expectations, but the whole team is great and their new coach is AWESOME!  A very experienced coach, so I'm sure she'll only continue to get better.

Abbie starts gymnastics tomorrow afternoon.  She is still too young for netball (not interested in net-set-go again) so she decided on the other.  She's pretty excited. I'm sure jumping, bouncing and tumbling around will be great for her!

I am looking forward to catching up with everyone soon, but thought you might enjoy an update if you had nothing other to do!!!

Take care all!  Keep your eyes out for my next post soon!

A new year and new diary.....

I made my big holiday visit to Edsco and of course, spent too much money!  But of course, I bought the essential diary to start the new year.  Being me, I couldn't leave it a plain cover, so got out my trusty, yet diminishing, scrapbook supplies and got to work.

Once completed, I decided to contact it...  not a good move!  I tried to pull up some off of a few places but unfortunately left a few creases.  Oh well, at least it's only for work.. The photos on the front still make me smile, which is the reason for the cover...

Here it is...sorry you will have to turn your heads as I can't figure out how to turn this!!!

Hope you are all enjoying what is left of our hols and that you are all safe and dry with your family!!!  xxx

The cutest owls ever!!

Hi all!  Just had to share a purchase I made at Target this morning!  I went there to get the kids some contact and just to escape the heat, when I saw these MEGA-CUTE owl stationary pieces!!!

I had a gift voucher to spend and since I'm in a new school, I thought I'd try to "redecorate" my desk!  I got a pencilcase, book holder, paper tray and a mouse pad.  I'm so happy with them, pink and owls together!!!

How cute are they????  They are really sturdy and covered in fabric.  The pencilcase is actually clear.

Hope you are all enjoying the little specks of fine weather we are having. My kids are driving me nuts to go swimming, so might have to do that in the next day or so!
