Happy Blog Hop Friday!

This is my first Friday blog hop where I get to show off my new blog!

So much has been happening lately I have neglected my blog a bit, only having time on Fridays to join in the blog hops.
There are some major changes happening in my life which will hopefully have my blog black on track and getting at least a review a week up. I have some planned for December so please keep an eye out. I may even do a giveaway for Christmas so keep an eye out on my giveaway page.
Since I don't have a review I will do something a little unrelated just because I am so happy with how life is turning at the moment I need to show it off a little :)

My week so far....
I waited for 3 days for my new dining table to be delivered, the couriers kept calling to say it would come on certain days then it wouldn't. Very annoying but once it finally got here my kids were so delighted that my son and I picked out place mats and he set the table once we came home (he is 5 and I didn't even know he knew how to set a table.)
The significance of the dining table is that we haven't had one that we sat at for dinner since my son was born. Now that he is heading off to school next year I want us to all sit and eat together properly which seems to be working well so far.

I got myself a new job! I work in a high stress environment at the moment so I have applied for a million and one things (I would have been happy to scrub dishes at this point, just to lower my stress levels) So in early December I will be working for Maccas! I know it may sound strange to be excited by that, but it's a job where I don't have to deal with as much crap as I do now and I can be trained to move up in the food chain without it taking over my entire life like me current job has. My son has already asked if he can come to work with me though, and my husband says he wants free food :/ I think I will just be banning Maccas food all together once I work there.

Other than that we are getting into the spirit of Christmas and have been making a glittery mess all over the place. We have also invested in new Christmas decorations this year.

That's enough of my rambling, on to the blog hop madness that is Fridays!








Parajunkee hosts the ever popular Follow My Book Blog Friday. Her featured blogger this week is Ginger at GReads
The question of the week is How long have you been book blogging?

I would say around 5-6 months. So I am not as established as most but I keep plugging away and trying to get this blog of mine going.


Book Blogger Hop

Crazy For Books hosts the one and only weekend long book blog hop. The question of the week over that way is
Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!

I am an Aussie, so don't follow any traditions due to not celebrating Thanksgiving. But I am always thankful for good friends, family and being able to spend time with both.


Happy blog hop bloggers!

Hi! I'm hoppin on by and a new follower =) It looks like we enjoy the same books.
It's awesome that you're getting into a routine before your son starts school. I have a 5 year old daughter that started kindergarten this fall.
Anyhoo, Happy Reading!

Alison, the only hard part of working with Danny was the wait. Once she got up to doing my blog it was so fast and easy. She came to me with her first design and I asked for a couple of changes which were all done within a day or two.
Fast and easy and I can't recommend her enough. I love her work!
