a great year for our family – becoming a family of 4 has been perfect and effortless. i am so very grateful for a fantastic 2009, and look forward to 2010!!
obviously the best thing to happen to me this year was the safe arrival of our Jovie – what was the best thing that happened to you in 2009?

i have a few hours to myself today (hooray for grandma’s!) so i ducked down to the shops to see what nonsense i could buy on sale.. here’s what i’ve picked up
1. Dotti strapless dress. $19.95. I saw this before Xmas and was going to get it for the original price of $79.95 but the money saver in me said to KEEP WALKING. I’m glad that I did! I really love the pattern and it’s not too short, thankfully for everyone around me, haha.
2. Target strappy heels. I’ve been looking for a pair like them and couldn’t resist the markdown. $20 from $50! Now where to go ..
3. Diva – cute headband and a new fake diamond ring (I still don’t fit into my wedding and engagement rings!!). Both $5 each.
4. Dead Set from Borders. OK, not on sale but hard to find
5. Dotti gold leaf belt to match the dress and other things 🙂 $15 from $20
6. WesternBloc’s VisualGram door stopper – $4.95. We have the Elephant version and it works WONDERS for little boys who love to slam doors…
7. A blue/white/pink icecream looking singlet.. just cause it looks tasty! $10
8. Last but not least, a Michael Jackson Thriller T Shirt from Target for $15. I didn’t think it was part of the sale so was happy to pay the full $30! I had a blue version as a kid but my mum didn’t save it.
so that’s it for me! no more shopping — apart from new computer speakers and maybe a new lamp for my office… i may have to stay indoors for the rest of the week to properly resist the urge 😛
Did you get anything in the sales?

to watch Elf!!
I think it’s become a Christmas tradition – but I’ve watched Elf the past few December 25th’s and I can’t wait to watch it again this year! The only other movie I can think of is Home Alone — I didn’t get into the Griswolds and I’ve never seen A Christmas Story.
I just love the singing, and Buddy’s hilarious innocence… and before you ask – yes, this is how I found the name ‘Jovie’ but no, the movie is not why we chose it in the end, lol.
Do you have any special Christmas movie traditions at your home?
