Four Simple Goals Before 2014
At the end of October Elsie posted on A Beautiful Mess about her four simple goals before 2014. And because my to-do list wasn't long enough as it is, I decided to set myself four simple goals to work on with the remainder of 2013. These simple goals will also help me achieve positive results on my already extensive to-do list. I want to spend more time making things and being creative, crossing a few things off 'Romy's Firsts' list, taking meal times on as a creative challenge and expanding on my cooking skills which at the moment only consists of steaming vegetables and pushing myself to step outside of my comfort zone. Are you taking on the four simple goals before 2014 challenge?

Unspoken Pillow Talk
Almost everyday for the past few weeks this happens. It is a little unspoken pillow placement war that Luke & I have going. I prefer the top option, while Luke is a fan of the bottom. I'm not so sure that Luke is aware of it, but every time he comes home or is in our lounge room, he will automatically rearrange the scatter cushions side by side and I will put them back later on. I find it too amusing to be bothered by, or bring it up with Luke as I would like to see how long it takes him to realise that I do actually put the sugar skull in front on purpose!

Monthly Agenda / November
I am really excited about this month's read, The Happiness Project, and I feel as though this book couldn't have fallen into my lap at a better time! I read the first 40 or so pages on the train over the weekend and was instantly hooked. Like many of the self fulfilment books before it like Eat Pray Love, this book focuses on the happiness you can expand on in your every day life, rather than the happiness you might seek from over seas travelling. And it employs a far more practical approach to changing things about your routine and life with an all year happiness plan. I am so glad I picked this up just in time for the new year.
Luke & I often include song references into our daily conversations as reference points, or to lighten the mood. Lately when Romy is tired and refuses to open her mouth for her veggies, we sometimes sing varying songs that elude to her being naughty and we often sing to her 'bad boy for life', even though we don't really listen to much of Sean Combs' music. After it being stuck in my head for weeks, I looked up some of his videos on youtube from when I was younger and got hooked! So I dare so this album will be on high rotation this month.

Weekend Adventures
Friday I looked after these two cuties while their parents were at a wedding and we all went to the park. It was Romy's first park visit and she loved being in such a playful environment even though it was a windy afternoon.
Friday night I caught the train to Sydney to catch up with my cousins. It was my very first night away from Romy.
After I met up with Jay, we had a quick catch up and a cocktail in Newtown before we went back to his apartment to drink wine and get ready for our evening.
We went to Jay's friends birthday/halloween party where this ridiculously awesome halloween version of Miley on her wrecking ball decoration was hanging out the front. Jay's two younger sisters Emma & Olivia met us at the party and after a few pit stops we all went back to Jay's apartment and ended our night in the wee hours of the morning. After coffee, breakfast and a quick browse along King Street in Newtown I made my way home early Saturday afternoon. My parents had family friends staying for the weekend, & along with my sister, brother in law, my parents & their neighbours, we all had dinner together Saturday night.
And today I had my first shift back at the cafe. I'm not ready to go back to work full time, or even part time as I want to spend as much time with Romy as I can while she is still so little. So every second Sunday will do for now.
While I was at work, Romy spent the day with her Aunty Ash & Uncle Al. It has been a busy weekend in a really good way. I got to catch up with some family friends & my cousins, juggle three small children while getting organised to spend my first night away from Romy, see my sister for her birthday, and have a couple of days off from routine.
