    Moments That Mattered 2013

    This time last year I was packing my suitcase and satchel, a month in anticipation, for our 3 week trip to Western Australia.

    9 good things.

    It is the 9th May today so here are 9 good things that are currently making me happy…just because. My friends. This was us at the weekend on the first hen do of the year – a slumber party. I may have danced my socks off. ♥ The prospect of a holiday. We’re not going to Australia until next February but the planning (for me) is as much fun as the actual going. I’m beside myself. I’ve begun looking for…
