happy new year

well this was keira last night...she obviously decided that she didn't want a night in and we video taped her dancing her little heart out in the loungeroom with daddy blowing bubbles around her! this girl loves to party and her drink of choice was lemonade. I hope she won't be a cheeky girl trying to sneak out her bedroom window at 16 to go to a party! oh no!!

anyway a new year means new year resolutions! always the same for me every year...in fact for as long as I can remember! I gained a few too many kilos the last week or so and top of the list is to lose a bit of weight and tone up, eat healthier, spend less (well I'll try), get out more (it's so much easier to stay home rather than venture out with my lovely three), finish more projects than I start (again, I'll try), use up more of my stash, keep my craft room tidy...ok now I'm just being silly but you get the picture!!!!!!!!!!!!



2010 is set to be an exciting year for retro mummy and it all starts once my new fabrics start arriving in february, the cutest I've ever seen....so happy new year and tell me your resolutions!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. How cute is Keira, putting on her festive gear and throwing her own little party? What a little character she is! I must admit, one of the pleasures of this year has been discovering your blog, it's lovely, funny, and inspiring.

    I have a whole list of resolutions brewing, I just need to sit down and type them all out (hopefully sometime today), but among them will definitely be sewing more and better projects.

    Happy New Year to you!

  4. Happy new year Corrie,
    I can identify with wanting to get out more! (and losing weight, and spending less, and being more organised....)

  9. Happy New Year Corrie! How wonderful that Miss Keira wanted to party too, I guess that is the privilege of being the eldest! No new year resolutions for me although the weight loss and the less spending sounds wonderful, at least making none doesnt mean I break them. I hope you achieve all yours and I cant wait to see the new fabrics too.

  10. Happy New Year!!
    Rock on Keira!!
    Typical mummy type resolutions like me, go for it. I'm steadily humming through day one completing my resolutions of healthy, diet, exercise, gardening & making my own food from scratch - ravioli & home grown herb salad with a traditional Italian tomato sauce (ok tinned tomatoes as our tomatoes are ripe yet). Easy to maintain as my children keep records & notice if we haven't done exercise, they drag me out. Love Posie

  11. Happy New Year Corrie - we took the train into the city and saw the early 'family fireworks' it was fun and enjoyed by all.

  12. What a cutie! As someone who did climb out their window I would say current indications are promising for her - great glasses and well thought out make up!

    Happy New Year to you and the lovely family

  13. Sounds like a fun night at your house, what a way to go into the New Year. I have a short list of resolutions and on the top would have to be spending more quality time with my little family just hanging out sometimes life gets busy and it's so important to just be together. I have others to but this is my most important.

    Have a wonderful New Year Corrie thanks for always having wonderful things to read on your blog.:)

  14. As the mother of three girls I often wonder which one is going to really try it on - maybe they all will. Lucky they are cute now!!
    I think on the top of my resolution list would have to be post again!! Getting fit and more organised are in there too! Happy New Year Corrie to you and your lovely family! xxx
