Happy New Year 2012 – have you got your New Year dreams written down, and your goals all sorted? What about your life being different from the year 2011?
Happy New Year 2012
Last night we headed out to see fire works – but we were too late! They had already started, and were nearly over before we could get out of the car 🙂
It was also our son Nicholas 13th Birthday so we celebrated with Mini Pavlova’s and his favorite dinner – Fish n Chips!
Sparkles are our kids favorite 🙂
This was actually taken in 2010!!
Nicholas 13th Birthday Cake – Mini Pavlova made with love by David!
New Years Eve – 2011.
He was happy…he also got his favorite gifts from family.
Fishing Gear – tackle, bait, tackle box and a torch. Funny how easy kids are to please!
What Do You Have Planned for 2012?

Super excited about the new changes that are taking place….as soon as they are ready you will all know!
What 2012 Will Mean For Our Family
The year 2011 has been amazing – some of it I have loved sharing with you all, other bits I have kept quiet about! I like to share the positive side of our family as much as possible – but sometimes I share from the heart!
There are times that I don’t ever share – I am that kinda person that likes to keep quiet unless I have something nice to say – so sometimes I am quiet for days 🙂
Not sure what our plans are for 2012 but I do know that they will be a huge shift in our lifestyle. We had hoped to be on the road heading South already but some things take time. “The Best Things in Life Are Those That Take Time” ….or something like that!
Here are the Best of the Best blog posts from 2011 (according to what everyone loves to read!)……
- Dear Mr Santa Claus Whats For Christmas – loved writing that one as it was about what our family needed for Xmas instead of what they wanted!
- Sharing MyFavorite Schweppes Drink – I never ever thought that I could win that one! But I did and I had the best time in Melbourne – it was so much fun to party and see my older son!
- Skydiving Sunshine Coast – That was one amazing day – my second son Zachery asked to jump out of a plane for his Birthday and his wish was granted – he had the most amazing time!
- The Unstoppable Family Visits New Life on the Road – I loved having the unstoppable family share their story of how they decided to travel around the world and how they have been going for three years and have no desire to stop!
- Christmas is All About Giving – Here is another blog post where I shared the true meaning of Christmas – not the commercial side of it 🙂
Here are the Best of the Best from 2011 (where I share more about our family from the heart!!)…..
- Happy Fathers Day Daddy wherever you are – I share my Fathers Day wish in the hope that he will one day found the blog post and read it!
- Letting Go of your Children – that one was the hardest blog post I have ever written – it was about our older son and his wish to move out of home, it’s also about asking when is it ok to let go of your children?
- Growing Up Ok – A dream that I had about my late Grandma and her looking after our older son no matter what he does, or where he will be – I loved re-reading that blog post 🙂
- Today Was The Day – where our older son chose to move out of home, and I had to learn to accept his choices.
- It only Takes A Moment – is where I share how one spilt second is all it takes to change your family – it’s that fast for everything to become different!
- What Are You Grateful For – Where I share all that we are grateful for – and asking you what you grateful for!
Did you know that we have a Sitemap so that you can find our posts easily? We also have 158 Posts from the year 2011-2010!! Gosh I never realised that we had written that much….
How was your year 2011?
What are your dreams for 2012?
May it be all that you wish for and more!
Cheers

As always I love reading your posts Lisa. They are always happy and uplifting and always inspiring.
I wish you and your family the very best for all you have planned – or not planned 🙂 for the New Year. Sometimes the unplanned experiences are the best!
This is going to be such a big year of changes in my life. I grew a lot in 2011 and learnt a lot, both in business and personally, but still remained holding onto things that I needed to learn from and let go of.
So, I am counting on and look forward to this year being one of very positive changes and putting time into finding my real happiness factor.. 🙂 and catching up for another coffee with you soon.. xo

Would love another coffee with anytime.
