Create a playlist. What you’re listening to now, what encourages you, holiday favourites, etc..

A little while back (OMG back in 2013!) I made a playlist of my 100 (or was it 101) favourite songs. You can check out that list here and here.

Anywho, time for a new playlist – the music of 2016. Some of the songs may be the same, some will definitely be different. It’s a snapshot of the type of music I’m listening to now. Oh yeah, it won’t be 101 songs long 😉 For your listening pleasure, I’ve created it as a playlist on Spotify. You’re welcome.

This post is part of Blogtember 2016

What was your most memorable birthday?

Honestly nothing really jumps to mind. I spent most of my birthdays when I was younger with family or friends. None of the big parties kids have these days. Simple things like pass the parcel and games like that. I remember having lots of fun and having awesome cakes – most from the iconic Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book (I still have the original edition even though it is slowly falling apart and the kids love choosing their birthday cakes from it) or ice cream cakes. Back when birthdays were simple but awesome.

  

I also remember my 21st. My partner at the time thought the new Star Trek was more important so I went and got drunk with some friends and had an awesome night at Karaoke.

Another memory was getting to choose what we had for tea for our birthday. If I remember correctly my choice was often Chinese.

Day 1 – Introduce yourself however you like!

Well hello new readers (and old ones. I still love you), thanks for dropping by my blog.

My name is Caroline (aka Nightwolf) and this is one one my many ‘homes’ on the www.

A little about me. Tasmanian (that’s the island state at the bottom of Australia). Married. Mum to 2 gorgeous girls, Miss K who is 6, and Miss A who has recently turned 2. We have 2 cats and 2 chickens. I’ve been blogging since 2003 (back before it was cool hahaha).

I am passionate photographer which works well cause I love scrapbooking too. If you’re interested you can check out some of my photos over on Flickr and my scrapbooking at Nightwolf Scraps.

I recently wrote a post that was 38 things about me at 38, so check it out if you want to know more. I’m also a bit of a geek/nerd/whatever. I love Doctor Who, Star Wars and play Dungeons & Dragons.

So say g’day and let me know where your from  🙂

and yay – welcome to spring.

This month is going to be super busy – #30Lists, Blogtember, catch up with declutter 365, and a final post about our little Ladybird birthday afternoon tea.

Hope you can all keep up. Hopefully I can keep up LOL

Here’s to warmer weather, Spring flowers and lots of blogging!
