List 1: Currently I am



Reading: The Beggar King (A Hangman Daughter’s novel). 
Listening to: Really enjoying Ho Hey by The Lumineers.
Laughing at: The kids and the funny things they do.
Swooning over: Not really swooning.
Planning: To start this new blog as a casual thing, which I would like to link up with Deb’s weekly  Listmania and also the  Project 52 , a portrait a week for 2013 – but not so sure if I can keep up.
Eating lots of: Home-made chocolate and bliss balls!
Feeling: Excited at the possibility of what the year will bring – but a little overwhelmed at how we will manage to fit in kindy drop-off and pick ups along with getting to work on time.
Discovering: The bus routes to my house and along the way finding the longest way to get home (my train line is out of action until September so my 20 minute express train has turned into 45minutes-1 hour trip home. Last night left work at 5pm got home at 6.15pm – would have missed picking my son up by 6pm closing time at OSHC if he were there yesterday).
Looking at: My computer screen – work in front of a computer, spend time at home in front of a computer (FB/blogs etc).
Wearing: Loving dresses at the moment- quite new for this pants/shorts and top girl!
Wondering: How the year will unfold with Savannah in kindy.
Trying out: New phones - off to the store to check out both the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy III - after weeks of undecisiveness I think iPhone wins (Samsung too big).
Linking up with Deb at Listmania.

  3. Nice list :) I have an iphone5. The only thing I don't like about it is the battery life. Seems to not last as long as the iphone4s :/

    1. Hahaha thanks....I work 4 days per week and am Secretary on the school governing council so not too much time for blogging. I hope the lists and photos are manageable!

  5. What a nuisance with the train! I have an iphone 4S and I love it! The 5 would certainly be my choice but I may be a little biased!

  6. I'm an iPhone gal still in love with my iPhone 4. One of my boys got the Samsung Galaxy III after his iPhone plan expired and he loves it. Must admit it does take awesome photos.

  11. My little girl is off to kindy this year too. It's quite a change from long day care where you can pretty much drop off and pick up when you please. I have been so lucky to cut back my hours this year to accommodate it. I hope your train is back soon!
