When I’m on the floor, they’re all on the floor…

Living life as a wife, a stay at home mama of 3 kids under 5, a marriage celebrant, a craft and sewing amateur, a cooked breakfast lover, coffee enthusiast, extroverted socialite, and most recently, someone who is trying to keep a tidy house. It's tough I tell you!
Five to go
It’s nearly the new year people! Five blog posts and I’ve hit my 250 in 2017 target. I think I’m going to make it!
I would like to have written some longer posts this year but most of my blogs have been written on my phone and it’s just too tedious and painful.
Hubs and I have big plans for our next house. First priority for me is to set up the desk and study nicely and neatly so it’s conducive to me sitting down and writing more.
Big plans I tell you. We are on the same page in terms of wanting to reduce the amount of stuff we have, and then keeping the place more tidy and enjoying more time with the kids instead of spending all of our time picking sh*t up off the floor.
We are also tightening the purse strings a bit to help us pay off some debt and not be in such a hurry to spend our hard earned money.
Big plans people. I’ll be doing a recap post in the next few days. Stay tuned….
On the farm
Went to visit friends parents farm today!
Nothing like a bit of fresh air and a quad bike for a bit of fun for the day!
Merry Christmas 2017
Another great one!
Darby looks so grown up in this photo!
This is the same Christmas tree from six years ago! (That baby is Chance!)
We’ve had a wonderful day full of family, food and great presents! Jules’ first Christmas!
So many lovely memories in mum and dad’s new house. Mango smoothies for breakfast!
Ouma and Jules
Cheesey cheese!
Grumpy is good
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have had a wonderful day xxx
Christmas photo 2017
The kids got all dressed up for a photo with Santa today. Their idea, not mine. Not that I minded taking them, I just wasn’t that committed to it, but they were keen so off we went!
This happened on the way.
I figured the nap would be good for them!
Then around 3pm we arrived at the shopping centre only to find that Santa had finished up at 2pm.
But we still got our photo! Pretty happy with that effort!
Short change
For both of us
They sure took a lot off Darby!
He looks crazy grown up now.
And I got the same as last time and gosh it feels good!
Not sure how, in my (late) 30s all of a sudden I have wavey hair!? It’s awesome!
Matchy matchy bobs!
Matchy-matchies
Such little monkeys
All together now!
I’m trying not to stress
But it’s so hard.
I’ve left Hubs to finish everything off up in Rocky and I know he is capable but it’s so shite when you’re on your own.
Our ensuite as it turns out has some issues and is leaking through the floor so the tiles have had to be ripped up and are hopefully in the process of being replaced.
We just had thousands of dollars of electrical work done including a new a/c installed. I just got the bill today. I hope he has a 12 month payment plan because ouch.
I had an abysmal day looking, or should I say not looking at houses. I got cancelled on three times and got the shits and left.
I’m trying not to feel sorry for myself. I know these are all first world problems. I just need a break from thinking about the hundred things to do. I’m slowly making my way through my to do list and I know deep down it will work out. The process is just sucking at the moment. In a big way.
At least I have my gorgeous kids to remind me that life is good. Not to mention wonderful parents and family and the absolute best husband. Seriously. The best. And I miss him like crazy right now.
The great card mail out
It’s not so much a card this year as a letter and photos. But it still happened. Coming to a letterbox near you! Or it may already be there! We posted on Tuesday. Enjoy xx
Family who post together are the most together!
Posing after posting ?
Not our house
I found a house in Toowoomba today that I really liked.
It went under application an hour later and a few hours after that it was gone.
It wasn’t our house.
If I had to go through everything that has gone on today I would exhaust myself and bore you.
I know we will find our house. I just need to keep looking and keep positive.
And keep looking at this face. (With our friends who live in Toowoomba.)
