9. Try different coloured lipsticks instead of sticking to the same shade
10. Take better care of my shoes
11. Clean out my wardrobe properly, instead of starting and never finishing so I’ve really only made more mess
12. Ride my bike to work, once I’m more confident of course
13. Start personal photography projects so that I’m always feeling creative and/or inspired
14. No more unnecessary clothing purchases (this is probably going to be the hardest)

16. Learn how to make pastry, gravy and red velvet cupcakes all perfectly
17. Keep the kitchen cupboard and fridge properly stocked like adults
18. Sort out the business side of my photography
19. Stay positive instead of being negative
20. Tell my loved ones how much they mean to me more often

I also have a few New Year Resolutions for Rick, like, closing doors behind him, turning lights off when he leaves a room, filling water bottles up instead of collecting them on his bed side table, and to remove clothes only in the bedroom, instead of left randomly throughout the house.

It’s been a very, very hectic week here at Rigbys house, and I have a few things to blog about, like house guests, Christmas, my birthday, and all sorts of other amazing things. This festive season really has been incredibly, filled with fun and laughter (and many many hangovers) but I am SO ready for 2012, a fresh clean start.

I’ll be back during the week with all of my updates. For now, I am off to the City to celebrate the New Year with a few close friends and my boy - did you know it’s our 5 year Anniversary tomorrow? What a perfect way to start 2012 right?

Have a Happy and Safe New Year family, friends & fellow bloggers.

Even with December being the most hectic month of the year, it’s still my favourite month. Besides Christmas, I celebrate my birthday, my anniversary, engagement anniversary, countless birthdays (as you might have picked up) and New Years Eve. Plus, it’s just such a happy time of the year. Christmas Spirit and all that jazz.

It’s without a doubt the most expensive and busy month for us - but I love it. I just love December. My first week of December started off nicely, a 59 month anniversary with the boy (nearly 5 years for us!), a trip to Sydney, a Wedding & on Monday afternoon… a very special someone arrived.

Our nephew! My beautiful and amazing sister in law Isobelle and her husband Daniel welcomed their precious little boy, Clay. He arrived at 5.07pm, weighed exactly the same as his Mama when she was born, and has taken after his Dad with his height. I couldn’t be happier for them all, and I am completely smitten with this little cutie. Congratulations guys, he is perfect!
