Time flies...

Hi Everyone (anyone?!),
Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I thought having my kids at home for Summer holidays would mean I had more time to blog, silly me! We have had a wonderful time together though and I can't believe they're back to school on Monday.

I have mixed emotions about this, as this year will be the first time in 10 years I haven't had a child with me the majority of the time. My youngest starts Pre-Primary and in 3 weeks will be at school 5 days a week like his big brother & sister (they ease them into it so he'll be at school 3 days next week).

Although I'm looking forward to the time to do other things, I'm going to miss them! I'm starting to get teary now!!! BUT I know I have plenty of things to occupy my time, my kids go to a fantastic school and I'm looking forward to a year to get myself together. Actually that's what my husband and I have "themed" this year, "Let's get it together, together". I don't know about anyone else but I have frequently come up with these grand plans to get it together (declutter, organise, plan etc...) but when I'm the only one doing it in a family of 5, it soon goes by the wayside as it's just too hard. Circumstances got us talking about getting it together and about growing up. That we have to get some of these issues sorted now, we're not getting any younger and we have 3 kids depending on us. And the upshot of that was we are now determined to get it together, together. We're working together to affect change in several areas of our lives.

Part of my plan is to blog more frequently and stretch my boundaries more. I have lots of great plans, now I just have to put them into action.

I have been thinking about clothes a lot lately, as I've been trying to compact my wardrobe. So I'm going to talk about going through your wardrobe and having a clothing cull. Also I'm going to talk about colours. Colours are one of my favourite topics (as my friends know!), I'm nuts about colours. So I'm going to talk about Colour Theory, how colours work and how you can push yourself into trying new colour combinations. It should be fun!

Have a great weekend.
xx Vanessa.
