Nuffnang Blogopolis 2012

(image)

I am MORE than a little excited that I am heading to Sydney at the end of June for this year's Nuffnang Blogopolis. 

My mum and I are heading to Sydney together on the friday morning. So far our plan is to go shopping in the city on the friday. Then on the Saturday while I'm at the conference mum will be spending the day with her best friend, who just happens to live in Sydney. Then Sunday before we head home we are planning on some more shopping and lunch. 

I remember looking at everyone's Intagram photo's and blog posts last year and told I told my husband "I'm so going to that next year", so when I found out that the tickets had been released and I mentioned it to him, his response was "So you bought your ticket then?". I hadn't but jumped online and bought it straight away!! And have been super excited ever since!!!

So with only 33 days to I am getting more and more excited. I keep checking the atendees list and adding people to list of bloggers I would love to meet! It's funny I read so many of thier blogs and kinda feel like I know them a little.
So if your going to be there and you happen to see me please come and say "Hi", I'll be the nervous one!!

And I promise to take lots of photos and a write a couple of posts to tell you all about it!!

If your going or have been in there past I would love to here your tips and things I should take with me.

Friday Favourites - Tate's Favourite Books

For today's Friday favourite I thought I would get my eldest son Tate involved.

This is Tate:

* He is 10 turning 11 in August

* He loves sports, running and soccer are his favourites

* He likes reading, Andy Griffiths is his favourite author, as you'll see.

* His favourite colour is Red.

I asked Tate to give me a list of his 5 favourite books and it took him all of about 2 seconds, so here they are:

Just Tricking by Andy Griffiths

Specky Magee By Felice Arena & Gary Lyon

Just MacBeth by Andy Griffiths

Just Crazy by Andy Griffiths

Pencil of Doom by Andy Griffiths

We would love to hear some of you children's favourite books, Tate might find some new ones.

Next weeks my middle son Damon is going to share with us his 5 favourite TV shows, see you then.

Marathon Monday - Week 5

Can I rewind and pretend last week didn't happen???? Oh wait it didn't!!

I was really sik last week and didn't get out of the house for 1 run!! Not 1! I know, I know......totally disappointing but I have a really good excuse I promise! I had a sinus infection and my whole head ached and felt like it was going to explode! Cold air just seemed to make it worse. So no running from me last week.

So this weeks plan will be exactly what I had planned last week! Funny that!!

I am feeling much better, health wise and am using my running this week as a plan to vent my frustrations and clear my head!! I need it already!!!
