Day 29 - My little siblings are champions

Hi there and welcome to a brag about my siblings.

Today was my brother and sister's end of school concert where awards are presented and performances are put on display.

The theme was Australian History which I automatically assumed it was going to be a snore fest but it was surprisingly entertaining!

Some cute little Aussies, singing and dancing everywhere was quite adorable...

Check out the Aussie version of Jingle Bells... Stereotypically classic!

Anyway! I just wanna brag about my siblings a little because they made me a very proud sister tonight...

Ava, aged 8, danced and sung like a trooper! Her dancing partner was missing but she soldiered on with a smile throughout the entire night. 

Isaac, aged 10, is not the dancing/singing type AT ALL, but he still did a great job in his little presentation. Isaac was also elected by his fellow students to be school captain for 2015! Congrats Isaac, you are going to be a great school captain, I know it!

Mae, aged 13, experienced her very last end of school concert EVER! And she finished her primary school career very successfully...

• The Senior Endeavour Award - 3 books
• Graduation Presents
• The Dux Scholarship - $200!!!

Very impressive! She has now graduated from primary school and will be heading off to high school next year. I remember how scary beginning high school was for me, but I am very confident that my sister is going to kill it!

So yeah, as you can tell I am extremely proud of all my siblings! I guess you can say they have a fabulous role model... *cough cough*

Hah, love you guys

Day 17 - My very productive day. RIP Phillip Hughes xxx

Hi there and welcome to my day of housework and graduation preparation!

I had a very early start today at 5.30am to head out on the ocean to catch some lobsters! We caught 4 in total which will make a very very lovely dinner. Today was the first time I had ever been out that far in the ocean and the water was just gorgeous... A clear deep blue just like the movies...

After that I sent everyone off to work and school and took on the role as housekeeper. I completed the following chores:

• a mount everest of dishes
• three loads of washing
• tending to the puppies/dogs
• ironed 28 seat covers for my sister's graduation
• and over all tidied up

I am an angel daughter...

It is my little sister's graduation from primary school tomorrow! So I lending a helping hand in setting it all up today in the theme of 'fire and ice' and it looks pretty great!

My sister, Mae, it pretty pumped for her graduation! We tested out some hair styles and it is so unfair because she has THEE most amazing hair ever... She is going to look so fantastic tomorrow! 

I'll definitely be posting pictures, so stay tuned!

I also got a job today as a bartender which will be interesting... But we shall see how it goes I guess!

Lastly, I want to mention that I love cricket. And today was an extremely sad day for the cricket world with the passing of 25 year old, Phillip Hughes. Such a tragic loss of someone so young and so passionate. 

Rest in peace Hughes.

My mum

Happy birthday to my favourite person in the entire world!

My mum is my best friend, role model, inspiration and favourite person ever.

She is the funniest and kindest person I have ever met and I am so lucky to have a mum like her. Below is a photo at my graduation, my 18th birthday and my year 12 ball, all of which my mum made the effort to be by my side.

Even when she's not by my side, she has always got my back.

My mum is so caring, so selfless and so real, I aspire to be the kind of person she is.

Some of my favourite things about my mum:

• Her sense of humour tends to have me in tears!
• Her generosity to EVERYONE
• Her realness
• Her nose because we have the same nose
• Her intense belief in karma
• Her ability to make attractive kids (me)
• The food she cooks
• The way she is so grateful for everything in her life
• And the fact that she is my mum but also bestest buddy

There is definitely more but that's all I got right now... So happy birthday silly head! Love ya! See you in 11 days!
