It’s officially no longer 2020. Here’s hoping that is a very good thing for this world of ours. I feel like Tasmania was a little bubble last year, one I was happy to live in, but still felt overwhelmed by anxiety and reading the news. Personally, it was a mix of bloody hard (no sleep, no personal time out, absolutely crappy sinusitis, work stress) but on the other hand, there were my beautiful boys and seeing them grow and learn, play together, and time with Matt who always makes me laugh.

seven things for my boys
It is increasing hard to pick things for my boys, mostly because I feel they just have enough. So I have stuck to the read, need, wear, want theme, with a few extra stocking stuffers so to speak (which is where some of the above fit in).
Elroy loves his Areawear cubebots (I highly recommend them) and I think the snake puzzle will be equally loved, pullback cars are always fun and I have randomly started a theme of getting Rufus yellow ones. I always find it hard to choose just a few books (they are my weakness) but Lenny the Lobster looks great, and I’ve also chosen Ellie’s Dragon by Bob Graham, Hello Friend by Rebecca Cobb and The Twits for Elroy. It’s going to be fun this year with both of them being that little bit older, our big gift to them is a trampoline and I think they will love it!! I am excited.

seven things for christmas - for home
It's december! I love this time of year, I'm glad its finally here. I've been very organised so far, done so much of my shopping and planning, now it's the fun time for crafting, cooking and gift wrapping. I haven't had the energy for blogging lately, but I really wanted to pull together some seven things posts, so I've got three. The first is seven things for home.
Honestly, all I wanted for christmas was this HK living cupboard, and after some rather consistent hinting Matt said to just order it. So I did. I'm really happy because now it will give me a new place to put nice bits and pieces on away from tiny hands. And of course it is calling out for a lamp, but what colour and what style? Also, I can hide all my boys messy craft things in this cupboard and put nice things in my other glass doored cupboard. Win win.

eleven months
Last week Rufus started daycare, he had two nearly full days and I think he will like it once he gets used to it. It’s so hard for me to let go, especially with the world the way it is now, and he’s my baby. But he needs to be able to spend time with other children, and I think it will be good for him to have some independence from me. It’s bittersweet, I can see the shift in him from baby to toddler.
