A few things I think are just ace. With apologies to Grinspoon.
How we’re almost halfway through December is beyond me. I actually don’t know where this year has gone! It hasn’t been an easy one, but I sort of didn’t realise that when I was in it.
It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s almost time for my beach holiday, and also means it’s almost time for the annual VM January hiatus. I am very much looking forward to closing this here laptop and doing some stuff. I might even finish that damn earphone thing from two years ago! The doubt remains high.
Stuff I’ve been loving lately:
- THIS KID. Off to kinder next year and more than ready to go. Mama isn’t quite…
- This chocolate, which I’ll chat more in my post about Tasmania, which will be up next week. Whoa.
- My extremely weird but welcome burst of productivity lately, which has seen organisation and planning for here and and at PB off the chart.
- My aunt + cousin’s candles, which smell incredible and are hand poured with pure love! If you’re in W.A., hit ’em up.
- That time I ate an Amy’s Kitchen Gluten Free Mac and Cheese. Not my usual fare, I admit, but I wanted to try it. And it was good! Seriously! It was even orange! I threw one in the trolley on a whim and there you have it. Tasted like actual cheese.
- Also that time I bought 42 different-sized Mason jars from ballmason.com.au for the cheapest prices I’ve seen anywhere. Bring on the jam/preserving/bogan drinking!
- Talisha from Little Mashies giving VM readers 30% off! She bought an ad and then whacked that in as a surprise. Get your reusable squeezy pouches now, with the code VEGE. such a bargain.
- One small kitten asleep on me as I type.
- 19 Family Photos Gone Wrong… Very Wrong. My sister sent me this. “Everybody jump on three!” Oh holy shit.
- And last but not least, my new Facebook profile pic. Happy Holidays!
What are you loving lately?
Am also loving your pic, but think we need to actually recreate it with you in it.
oh lord, which one?!
Love the family photo with the dog crapping in the background. Typical 🙂
Ha or if you’re at my house… a cat weeing everywhere.
I bought a MASSIVE Ball preserving kit from Big W & this book- http://www.tracklements.co.uk/tracklements-book-savoury-preserves – because I am hoping for a bumper crop from veg garden this summer. I’m also reading Sally Wise’s book, A Year on the Farm, & it has a shitload of preserving recipes throughout the book.
Every time I see your profile pic in my news feed I want to watch Roseanne immediatly! They just don’t make shows like that anymore…..
I looked EVERYWHERE in Big W and couldn’t find it! i already have a Fowler’s preserving kit, so figured that would do, I just needed jars. And now I have many jars!
I started watching it again the other night. Still makes me laugh!
All the peeps in your hood must be big preserving fanatics. My Big W is in bogan central all the preserving stuff was left for me, the wanna be farmer 🙂
Haha those family photos are gold! Love the Anal Kingdom one! Thanks for giving me a good laugh. As for jars and making preserves I’m crap at making them. Tried to make chilli jam once and over cooked it to taffy. I stupidly still pored it into a container and it hardened like poop to a blanket. It went straight into the bin!
Christmas. I just love Christmas.
And there are Christmas trees as far as the eye can see…
And SANTA! OMG SO EXCITED FOR SANTA! Boo is positively beside himself hoping for some ACDC shizzle and a kitchen chopper thinger. LOVE IT ALL!
Loving your profile pic… she is totes my Christmas spirit animal… do you recognise mine? https://www.facebook.com/MagnetoBoldToo/photos/pb.415650845168175.-2207520000.1418349650./817150378351551/?type=1&theater
