Five Things

Rachael tagged me for this meme - list 5 or more things you're looking forward to, or things that are just exciting at the moment... so here I go:


1. Just exciting: Anthea's developmental milestones. She's such a cute little sweetie, and it's a wonderful joy and privilege to watch her clap hands, wave, push herself around in her little walking frame, play happily in the bath for as long as she's allowed to, and cruise around the furniture.


2. I'm looking forward to: School holidays start next week! It will (hopefully!) mean that Aunty Meaghan can come to visit more and we can have some sleep-overs and girly pyjama days! :)


3. Just exciting: I've been reading a lot of stuff (particularly on the Stay at Home Mum website) about cutting costs and saving money whilst raising a family... so I'm all inspired to see which bits I can implement next payday!


4. I'm looking forward to: Anthea's first birthday. We had decided not to do a 1st birthday party, but as it gets closer, I'm feeling more like I do want to do something to mark the occasion! Maybe even just morning tea at the park with her little friends...


5. Just exciting: Call me weird, but I love tax time (and not just because of all the sales)! I love getting organised and sorted, and seeing how my book-keeping skills have served us through the year. And this year it's just a little bit more exciting because of the Family Tax Benefits we'll be eligible for.


I won't tag anyone, but would love to see others' Five Things memes!
