With a vengeance! Haha. I have FINALLY set up my silly smashed laptop through an old computer monitor, (it looks like shite but it means I can finally blog again, praise Jebus!
SO much has been going on lately, my little brother moved out of my Granny Flat so I have been setting it up ever so slowly to become my Craft Room/Cafe/Escape from my children (trust me, every parent needs one right??) Mind you, they don't seem to respect the idea of personal space and "Mum's Area" anyway, so usually we all end up hanging out there. Still, baby steps! It just feels good to start getting things organised, and it gives me a place to do Wedding Planning (and Christmas present wrapping!!) in peace! I have so much planned for our Wedding, at this stage it's mainly only decorations but I still find it super fucking exciting! I'll share some of my bits and bobs later on down the track!
I've been joining in with the Fox In Flats style dare again this month, I love the December one because it's always #DAREcember, and I do enjoy a good pun! I also like having an excuse to get dressed everyday. Okay, it's not really an excuse, more just motivation to actually put in a bit of effort with my appearance, cause as a SAHM I know I can get a little complacent about the way I look, and then I start to feel like shit, and then things just spiral out of control and all I want to do is eat chocolate in my underwear (which of course is a good thing, but not when you're in that mind frame!) So if any of you are that way inclined you should pop on over to the website and have a gander at what Miss Andrea has to make you feel SO much better about yourself!
I've also been lusting after lots of goodies, Christmas time always makes me go a little feral because I'm bombarded on all sides by so many pretty things (I'm actually a bit of a sucker for advertising, I'm not stupid, I know that it is designed to make vapid people buy, buy, buy, but I enjoy looking at different things and trying them out for myself) does that mean I am one of those stupid people, even though I know that's exactly what advertisers set out for?? Anyway, regardless of that we are on a tight ship at the moment and I'm trying so hard to be good. Christmas always makes me want to spend a lot of money on everyone too, and I'm nowhere near finished my Christmas shopping yet either which SUCKS because I know I have bills coming up that I need to be putting money aside for!
Enough blather and depressing budget talk, here is a couple of things I've been keeping a beady little eye on;
 |
| This stunning Emily and Fin dress off ASOS for $77 |
 |
| This sweet clutch purse off Etsy seller Reabags for $49.92. |
 |
| These extremely Christmassy "Celebration" tumblers from Target Australia which are currently on sale for $16 |
Ah, so pretty. I must admit I'm longing for very whimsical things lately, maybe it comes from being surrounded by boys 24/7! What sort of things are you lusting over in the lead up to Christmas??
