Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear

 

Happy new year's eve everyone! I hope you had some joyous moments throughout 2022! Even in times of sadness, I have come to realise that there is still so much beauty and love around us and things to be grateful for. 


As I've been cleaning up the photos from my phone (I take so many!), I've found some that I haven't shared throughout the year. I'll slowly get around to posting them now that I have summer holidays before I start with my new grade 2 class at the end of January.





Mum and I discovered a couple of Mexican restaurants recently. I loved the interiors of this place.




I also took great joy in growing my own tulips this year!






 Of course I loved putting together outfits too.



I can't wait to go on many day trips with my mum while I'm on holidays. We'll surely return to this restaurant near my dad's work. The Mexican flan is absolutely amazing.



There have been many happy memories from this year and I'm glad I took so many photos because otherwise I'd forget them. Thank you for visiting my blog this year! I enjoy reading your comments and seeing the number of people that visit this page too. See you in the new year!

    All that food looks truly scrumptious, Jess, and it's making me hungry!
    What a colourful bunch of tulips and I'm swooning over the outfit you are wearing while Holding them. That leopard top is absolutely fabulous, and I'm loving that basket too!
    Happy New Year, let's hope it's a good one indeed! xxx

    Looking fabulous, Jess! Your tulips are beautiful.
    The mexican restaurant looks great. I see churros, big at festivals, they're a legendary hangover cure! I've got that Corona tray!
    Happy New Year! xxx

    Happy New Year, Jess! Well done on your tulips! I love seeing your funky outfits, and I thought of you when I heard about Christine McVie's death.

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
