October 2017 Favourites

Monday, October 30, 2017

A monthly favourites post is something I've wanted to start doing for ages, so here goes!

My first favourite is the Podcast called Wonderful! by Rachel and Griffin McElroy. The McElroy brothers are some of my favourite people to listen to in the whole world, so I knew I'd love this podcast! It's just so wholesome and it makes me feel happy.

Next up are these Dylusions paints - I love all of them, but these two colours in particular are just stunning! They're so nice to work with and I want every single colour! I get mine from Craft Online.

My new favourite blog that I discovered this month is Brown Paper Bag - Sara shares awesome illustrations and products that I want to spend all of my money on!

My favourite movie of the month is Moana! I've watched it 4 times and I've been listening to the soundtrack non-stop. It's so fun, happy, and inspiring! I love it so much.

Something released later in October was Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. For some reason, it was released in Australia on Android and iTunes before anywhere else in the world! It's SO CUTE. You can see me in my little campsite on the right, I am so happy to have a new Animal Crossing game to explore!

What have you been loving in October?!

Daily Instax October 8 - 21

Wednesday, October 25, 2017

Lots and lots of animals!

I worked at a pet festival and this dog had a HAT on! + ;-)

I looked after these 3 dogs and they were so cute + pet sat an old friend (wearing the cone of shame!)

Warming his belly in the sun + my friend Hannah visited and of course Violet was a tart

A rainy day at the dog park + my boy got bitten by a snake!!!

He made a full recovery! + finally, two of them used the new window seat at once!

They love the seat! + he looked so funny in the basket

Another new cutie + I saw a local production of the Little Mermaid and it was great!

Have a great day,

Cat Update October 2017

Monday, October 23, 2017

I know I take a LOT of instax photos of my cats (just try and stop me!), but I wanted to start sharing more photos of them in separate blog posts. They mean the world to me!

Being a grumble bum in bed

She nearly always looks startled!!

Look at this gorgeous little face!

Grumpy little head wrinkles - he loves me <3

Peach often gets playful at bed time (and I get injured)

She's so ruffled! She's also dirty, I'm always picking things out of her fur! Little rat

Have a lovely day,

5 End of Year Goals

Monday, October 16, 2017

Hello! I've been neglecting this blog a bit. I still do my twice weekly posts that I always do, but I want to do more. This may take a little time as things in my life have changed drastically in the last few weeks and I wanted to address them.

My husband and I are no longer together, so I am moving out into the world on my own with our cats. I got a new job (still working with animals!) and will continue pet sitting as it's something I've worked so hard on and I've built up a fantastic reputation in my area! I'm moving soonish and will be looking for a roommate (scary!) so I have SO MUCH to do!

I'm starting a whole new chapter of my life so I decided to make a few end of year goals:

Focus on myself
Get rid of/sell my clutter around the house
Make my new home mine once I'm there
Really focus on my pet sitting and try to get new clients
Stay in touch with friends more

Not too difficult really. Everything is so shit and stressful right now so I need to really focus on moving forward and being the best version of me that I can be!
