2013 - What a year!

Last year I wrote this post with a few goals in mind. I did indeed move house, go back to New Zealand for 6 weeks, joined the gym and read more books! 

This year has been filled with...

SNOW!! In January and February it snowed like it was nobody's business! So much fun to be had! 


February was moving month for me, therefore no internet for nearly a month! However, there was a repost of a favourite post from the year before, some reminiscing with a post for my Mumma's birthday and how much my sisters mean to me


March was a busy month with a wedding filled with hilarious antics and making homemade icecream with my kiddies at work





May was birthday month for me and celebrating 200 posts!!!! (sorry about the lack of giveaways I had planned, instead you got a pic of my deep fried mars bar - win!), having another egg moment, and one of the best trips up to Glasgow


June was a month of loving's; counting down the days until I went back home, more egg moments with the ol' blind incidentgetting up in Spring's grill and joining in with the grateful project



July I sadly said goodbye to a great friend who moved back to New Zealand, I MADE IT BACK HOME, and started to really appreciate what I had left behind



I was still in New Zealand for most of August with a fun filled month! I went up to Auckland for the first time and got to meet the lovely Simoney and Cat IRL!!! I wrote a post about my beloved Blue Rabbit who is now back in London with me, I spent loads of time with one of my favourite people in the whole entire world and her family! And then I had the dreaded goodbye on my venture back to London.





September I was back into the new school year ready for the fun and challenges of my second year working with deaf kids, lemons were thrown but gratefulness was seeked out, goals were made to do something 'Londony' each month, and I became gluten free! (ha, I totally feel like that part on Pitch Perfect where she's all like..."guys... I have nodes...")



October was a bit of a dry spell with a lot going on, but I was able to find some loving's and love on the amazing friendship I've made with a special lady - so special I think that's the third time in this post.... yikes!


November made me fall in love with Call the Midwife, reflect on my life in London and love on more friendships, and made my lazy ass get around to summing up our trip to Budapest!



Finally, with December nearly at a close, and only two posts that I've squeezed out of myself (3 including this bad boy!), my favourite from this month has got to be Dinovember. And this song - happy by pharrell williams!


Thanks for sticking in there with this looonnnngggg post and my year of irregular blogging! 

I'm looking forward to a brighter and better 2014! Happy new years chicas!!

Things I'm Loving!

I've been a bit non-existent in life, instagram and blog life, due to a lot of crap shitting on down on mah head. But we'll be back and running in all due course! This is the little 'pick me up' I've been needing!

In the mean time listen to this song - it's the bomb!


If it doesn't come up - click here! Pharrell Williams - Happy

I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas and wonderful 2013, and I'll see you all most likely in 2014!!

Heaps of Aroha!

Dinovember!


Last week I shared with you the awesomeness that was Dinovember, so here's this weeks antics! 

I'm a bit sad that November is now over and our dinosaurs become 'just toys' again. Who knows, maybe there'll be a Christmas Elf or something similar to keep getting into mischief! 

We tried to get the dinosaurs into as much mischief and make as much mess as possible - with my kids noticing. Sometimes they just don't see things.. But we had great reactions from this week's fun! 

My kids go nuts for bananas. This was perfect!

Building towers with the lego

Causing havoc with the water beads!

Some early morning art work

STOP AND GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!!!
