Aloha Sprinklerinos,
In the spirit of easing myself back into blogging I thought I would make one of my absolute favourite things - a list. Oohhheeeeee I love a good list.
(An oldie but goldy)
As I type this it's grey skies and raindrops tickling my windows but with June just a few days away, I'm hopeful for Summer's arrival.
Last year we had an amazing few months. We visited friends, had patio parties and I got really into making cocktails- maybe a little too into it haha. This year, thanks to Sprinkle of Glitter, things are already being put in the diary and fun things are happening around the house. Do you want to hear about them? Hope so because that's kinda where I'm going with this.
June
June is set to be completely manic but I'm itching to go and feeling good about it all.
I'll be attending Digifest in New York (and standing on stage in front of 10,000 people- oh my!) as well as Vidcon in Los Angeles with my YouTube family. I might also be going to Toronto as well but this is still up in the air because I am weighing it against Mummy/Wifey commitments.
One of my Christmas presents from Miss Zoe was tickets to see One Direction and after weeks of waiting, we're almost there. Outfits have been chosen, travel arrangements have been discussed and lyrics learnt. I don't care how old you are, you can't beat a bit of cheesy pop with your besties!
Renovations are coming along nicely. We recently had decorators in for our hall and landing so feel very swish about this and slowly but surely the office is coming together. We've also shifted things round a bit upstairs so soon we'll have another bedroom which is always handy. My Dad automatically assumed it was for a new baby. Deary me.
Weather permitting I also want to spend a lot of outdoor time with Baby Glitter. It's good for me to keep up with exercising and I find she is a much happier child when she's had a chance to let off steam and go free in the wild haha. It's also a wonderful opportunity to unplug from technology and really be present with her.
July
Oh July, what lovely homey things you are set to bring.
We've had a meeting with a landscaper about our perilously boring garden and have designed something a lot better. Think decking, kiddie areas, BBQ zones and outdoor lighting. Fingers crossed construction starts in July and we can party all August long!
Kittens. Yes, you heard it, kittens. I'll say no more.
I want to spend so much time with my friend's Mark and Clare in July. Clare is a Teacher so will hopefully have some free time and I will be in the country and taking a breather so I want to just hang about with her, sipping drinks, nibbling chinese takeaway and chatting about everything and nothing. She's good for my heart I think.
I also want to take Darcy for ice creams and on country side adventures galore.
----------
Writing all that out has been like therapy. I can't wait.
What are you excited for this Summer? Do you have any good suggestions for things I could do (and share on here afterwards?)
Toodlepip!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the kittens I can only imagine how excited you are!
I'm looking forward to summer too! I have a few camping weekends away and a holiday abroad in August to look forward to! I'm also going to be saying goodbye to one of my best friends which isn't great but I'm so happy for her! She is starting a new job as Snow White, or her proper title 'International Disney Princess' in Paris!

Summer is simply the best. I know me and my family thoroughly enjoy camping, walks, ice cream and day trips. We just need some of that warm summer weather here in Canada and we'll be all set!

I'm so excited for June! I'll be travelling with my best friends to Austria, Germany, England and France! I've never been to any of those countries and I'm practically wetting myself with excitement! gahhhh!! I think July will be a pretty relaxing month for me - I'll be fresh back from my European getaway, but I'll definitely be attending the occasional pool + patio party! August is another month I'm very excited about. My best friend who lives very far away from a me (a whole country away!) is visiting and we will be also seeing a One Direction show in Toronto. Super excited to scream lyrics at the tops of our lungs, even if we will be some of the eldest there - oh well!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a wonderful summer planned! I can't wait to read about all your adventures + see your posts!

It sounds like you have an exciting couple of months ahead of you! I'm really looking forward to going on holiday to Lanzarote with my boyfriend Tom after years of wanting to go abroad with him! Along with that I will be finishing my first year of uni and moving out of halls into a rented house-exciting but scary! I can't believe how time has flown. Have an amazing time seeing one direction and I can't wait to see when you get your kittens! xxx

Awwwwww Darcy is so cuteeeeee! I hope you're coping, your life sounds manic! LOVE YOU SO MUCH xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely summery list! I wish I could make some homey and decorating plans as well, but for now I'm the most excited about next week: I will be travelling to London for a long awaited UK holiday :) will do some touristy things and see my favourite band (Hudson Taylor) in concert :). As for the rest of the summer there is a number of friends' weddings to go to/sing at and then an important 2-week singing thing with my choir. The time in between will be filled with more jobhunting and general trying to survive.

ReplyDeleteThis summer I'm excited for being able to take a breather after my final exam and all other college work, my town's gala day, TFIOS movie, going on holiday for two weeks to two Haven holiday parks (and finally getting to go to Blackpool!), drinking iced coffee, watching endless amounts of anime and hopefully spending much needed time with my best friend.
ReplyDeleteAhhh this all sounds so exciting!
ReplyDeleteSince I have finished uni last week my summer has techniqually already started. I'm looking forward to going to London this weekend to see Demi Lovato's concert and Les Mis :) I'm also excited for spending time with my friend who I haven't seen much of because of uni, and hopefully it will be nice and sunny for lazy days in the garden!

Louise, I'm genuinely so excited for you! I started watching your videos back when I was living in Russia and sometimes when i had my sad days you'd brighten up my day. I'm absolutely in love with your personality and you remind me that everything should have a positive outlook and how important is a good sense of humor. Maybe one day we will meet and I hope to tell you all that in person. Keep it up! This summer will definitely turn out to be amazing for all of us xxx

I want to say thanks once again to this great man called Dr Abiza and his spiritual way of helping people am Sarah Jude from Japan i lives in USA with my husband we love each other and also he care about me always look forward to make things easy for both of us 9 years after our wedding, we both work harder to make a family greatest surprise, we have a kid after some times again, we have another one so with this, we live in peace and he was so honest to me shortly, he started misbehaving that i don't know what is going on then i asked him. Darling what is going on? you are so strange to me this few days hope i have not offended you? he said no. Not knowing he have and affair with one lady out side who promised him a car an apartment in one estate were i cannot see him also when he cannot see me i manage to stay with him pleading him he should forgive me if have wrong to him he started complaining he has no money that he has lost all his money in his business that he needs some money then i asked him how much is this money you are looking for? he did not know i can afford it. Then, he said $14,000USD i promised him i we give it to him just for him to care about his family. My greatest surprise, the next day, i went to work and our two kids were in school not knowing his going to leave the house before i come's back i met some of his things outside i was waiting for him to come back he never come back i cried i miss him so much and he have taking all my money away i was only left with $800USD. One day, as i was ready a blog i saw a testifier made by someone in Australia called Julie telling people about how this man call Dr Abiza helped her and the man's contact email was there and his mobile number then i contacted him for a help and really, he brought back my husband now am so happy my brothers and sister if you are in such relationship problem kindly via Email (DRABIZASPELLTEMPLE20@HOTMAIL.COM) he we help you solve all your problems.
