Life lately… {27.Nov.2015}

Hello!
I apologise for this blog being a little late – life is full on at the moment. As it always is for everyone at this time of the year, but to add to the general busyness, I am again unwell & feeling awful. I feel like I can’t catch a break at the moment, but I am powering on and working with my doctor to try and sort it out… I’m praying by next week we have a better idea of what’s going on. The feeling of being unwell & being completely exhausted constantly is never fun & it is especially awful when you have a very active little 2 year old.
But I will live, life being busy and all festive at the moment is a wonderful distraction & is helping me stay positive!
This weekend is a busy one for us, tonight we have Trent’s work Christmas party, so it’s a chance for me to do my hair, wear makeup and nice shoes and go out for a meal & some drinks with his friends. Tomorrow night I have my brothers 21st birthday party, it is actually both of my brother’s birthdays today – they are 19 & 21. And yes, both born on the exact same day – but 2 years apart…
So I am really looking forward to our very social weekend and having some excuses to dress up!
Next weekend there are some Christmas events happening in our town which I am hoping we get to attend.

I thought for this post I would share what we’ve been up to lately, I don’t often do these type of posts. So I thought it might be a nice change – something a bit personal… (You may know some of this already if you follow me on social media!)

The other week I was brave and chopped my hair off. It was fairly long and now it sits just on/ a tiny bit below my shoulders. I LOVE it.

I purchased this colouring book the other day, I can’t wait to have some spare time so I can sit down and start it!

The days have been so hot lately, so we have had lots of water play to stay cool… Playing with the water table and the hose, swimming in the pool and midday baths!

With the hot weather, comes storms! And we love a good storm. (Not destructive though!)

LuLu and I did the first of some Christmas baking this week, short bread stars. Yum!

We also started our Christmas shopping this week. We had a day shopping with Auntie Noo Noo.

I am loving having all my Christmas decorations out, including my Christmas books. Do you have some festive books? If you do, tell me your recommendations! (I LOVE both of these!)

What have you been up to this week? Are you preparing for Christmas? I can’t believe we have less than a month to go and I still haven’t finished my Christmas shopping!!
