{2014 resolutions!!!}

{via}


hello lovely friendlikins!

HELLO TWO THOUSAND + FOURTEEN!
how are you feeling about the new year? good vibes or a tad stinky? have you been having lots of wonderful summer adventures, lovelies? what are your goals + plans + dreams + adventures for this year? are you continuing on from last year or have you made a change in the direction your'e taking?

i'm feeling really good about 2014, i think it will be a wonderful year of change + growth + adventures + mystery + am looking forward to doing life with my hubby {tom}, kitties {bumble + moose}, my friends + family + with you lovelies too! i'm excited for tommy to be touring australia + going overseas with thief this year {although i've already had a cry - i'm going to miss him!} i'm keen beans to be blogging more, working on my consistency + content + general bloggy goodness - so watch this space! i'm keen to get back in the studio, churning out some bunting + other handmade goodies for my etsy store {milk + sugar story}. i'm already enjoying weekly fun times with the 3 munchkins i'm nannying for + all 5 nephews + neices!

what are you looking forward to? anything that your'e counting down the days til?! i think it's important to have plans + goals + things to look forward to. it really helps to give you direction + not spend all day thinking... umm... what now? if you've been following along, you may know that last year i had quite an ambitious list of goals that i wanted to achieve! 52 things before 25, was a list that i still want to achieve but will be on the back burner + not being my top priority, as there was just so much, that it was quite overwhelming. i think it will take another year or so to cross everything off my list - but a huge contributing factor to my lack of finishing my goals, was having a lack of money. so one of my goals for this year is to be working more + saving.

my resolutions for 2014 are continuing on from last year, as i think they are important + need continued maintenance. my resolutions include, working on my health, relationships + getting things done. my goals in a nutshell are:

{health}: i'm working on eating more veggies + going on more bike rides!

{relationships}: writing letters to friends + making time to spend with friends + jesus in prayer + his word!

{getting things done}: basically i need better time management so i can achieve more things towards my biz, blog, and life in general!

since the end of last year i've been working on a new planner system to get me organised for the new year. i'm still making changes + seeing what works, so i can be ticking the boxes rather than being consumed by my list of goals! at the moment i'm using a planner i bought for my hsc year, which is a personal sized planner + which i've been using as a wallet to help with the change over. i am however, still using my kikki k A5 planner, but am tweaking it to my needs for this year. i also have a household planner, that will help me organise all my house wife duties, like cleaning + meal plans + what not.

later on, i'll share with you my system, when it's looking pretty + helping me get things done! do you use a planner? perhaps a filofax? mmm... so good. what are your resolutions for 2014? remember it's never too late to think about how you want to spend your life! what do you want to achieve this year? i want to be living + loving intentionally! will you join me? i'd love to hear, share below in the comments!

love love

{what's in my bag?}

{what's in my bag}


hello lovely friendlikins! 

hope all is well! i've always loved the 'what's in my bag?' series in magazines + blogs! it's interesting to see how people live + think + what tickles their fancy - whether it's people watching from a cafe, stepping inside someone's amazing house via the internet or having the contents of someone's bag revealed. 

do you like to see what the rest of the world does too?

hope you enjoyed a sticky beak!
{in an interested, non-creepy way}

hello lovely friendlikins!

how are you? hope all is well with your soul! how's your october been? did you do anything for halloween? we didn't, but it's not really a thing here in australia. there's a few kids who'll dress up + go trick or treating but it's pretty rare. october was the hottest month on record, and it showed itself with sunshiney days, terrible heat + bush fires! and of course, it now feels like winter {i'm wearing a hoody at this very mo!}

in october i worked on ways to tweak my planner + general organisation of life. i'm trying to figure what system is best for me + my productivity - so i can be using my time wisely + for God's glory! i LOVE stationery! i'm keen to get my planner all ready for 2014 : D do you use a planner? are you a filofax fan? or do you like to keep on top of things the techy way? i like a mix of both - but still learning to keep both updated!

another exciting thing in october was that tommy + i scored free tickets to see the GREAT MOSCOW CIRCUS! how did we come across such awesomeness? well, it's handy to have a sister-in-law with kids, who happens to be given them by a complete stranger at the shops, due to his no longer being able to use the tickets! so on that very night, tommy + i were off to see the circus! it was so much fun! it was tommy's first time to the circus, and i hadn't seen the circus since i was little, when they still had the lions + elephants! the great moscow circus is like a mix between a traditional circus + cirque dis olei. it was theatrical, hilarious, nerve-racking, exciting, and there were amazing costumes + AMAZING performers! guess what?!? tommy was chosen by one of the clowns to do a booty dance in the centre ring! it was tre hilarious : P if the great moscow circus is in town - you should check them out!

what adventures did you have in october? planned any for november?

love love
