Low key... just how it should be! What did you get up to on Boxing Day? Was your day lazy too or filled with visits and catching up with friends and family?

Happy Christmas Eve!
Am sitting here alone in my office as all of my colleagues are on annual leave. The aircon died about 3 days ago so I have all the other units in our space on full blast to try and cool my area down! I've ticked off a few things this morning and am getting ready to …
Last minute rushing around
One more working day to go! But I think I'm under control! I spent today rushing around loading up the car with things to take down to the venue for New Year's Eve. This makes life a lot easier for me on the day and saves me doing it all in the predicted 40 degree …
The Gift Exchange
I received my gift today! Remember when I told you I was part of a gift exchange? Well today, the person who has been stalking me sent her gift and it's arrived! Now to wait until Christmas to open it! Or not... sorry, I read the back page of a book before I start it... …
Braving the crowds
Normally, Friday is my day off. When I say day off, I mean that I've worked my 38 hour week and it's my weekend! But not today. With so much to do to prepare our New Year's Eve celebrations and Australia Day event in January, I needed more time at my desk, especially with chunks …
It’s Monday again?
Already?? Wasn't it just Friday? I hate how the weekends go by so quickly! And as we scream towards the end of the year, I feel as though the week is upon me before I've even finished it! Oh well, at least I can look upon this pic that I took yesterday and chuckle! Happy …
The silly season is the best season
The weekends in the lead up to Christmas are mad, let's face it, but sometimes a manic day can end brilliantly and that was the case today. We had to fit in swimming lessons, a brunch with friends as well as shopping for the hubby's work Christmas party (given he was the one coordinating it). …
Christmas shopping, here we come!
Until today, I had bought two presents and ordered two online. And they were both for the girls. So with two weeks til Christmas I knew I had to get my act together and hit the shops. Unfortunately, the only opportunity I had to do this was a Friday which meant taking the girls with …
Planting the seed
You may have heard of the Elf on a Shelf Phenomenon, if not then you should check it out because it is awesome. And yes, I know awesome is a pretty strong word but I can tell you right here and right now that since our little elf Jethro has come to stay bedtime has been a dream! …
Stop the clock!
As I was posting yesterday's Two Sentences Tuesday I realised that I had just posted my 30th one since introducing the concept. That's 30 weeks ago! Over half a year ago! Where on earth has this year gone and can someone please stop time from passing by so quickly??? Someone said to me today that it was …
