Look What I made…
These pretty little cupcakes for my birthday party!
My party was yesterday (Sunday) and I had the most marvelous time! It was tea party in the park at Cotton Tree, and I felt so blessed to have so many beautiful friends there to share the fun with! My only regret- not many photos. It is hard to take photo when you’re talking to lots of people. Even harder to get photos of yourself! Thankfully I have scavenged a few picture from people who have uploaded them to facebook!
Does anyone else have this problem?!
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Where My Learning Journey Is At…
I had a great conversation with a few great friends on Twitter yesterday about quality, not quantity when it comes to followers.
It started with this. http://twitter.com/Sunshinetalia/status/1351072633
The conversations that sprung from that really cemented in my Ming some if the learning Ive been doing about the importance of quality networks.
I add people to my networks for the following reasons.
1. To learn from- usually other teachers and eLearning professionals who I can converse with about issues we deal with professionally.
2. To teach- generally in the same area as above.
3. Other geeks, usually female. I network with these people because we share a common interest and talk about similar things in our networks. Its a great opportunity to have fun and stay informed, as well as hear a variety of opinions- many I dont personally agree with.
4. Friends. While my current major use of social networking (except facebook) is for expressing either the teacher side of me, or the arts side of me, I recognize that social interaction with friends I see regularly is important. Social media is a great way to accomplish that, and to make collegues, friends.
So these are my qualifiers if you like. There are people I am networked with who dont fit into these categories, and thats fine. Some of them stay, some dont, as long as were mutually beneficial, then Im happy.
What are some of the reasons you add people to your social networks?
P.S. I wrote this all on my iPhone, proud of me?!

7 Things You Didn’t Really Need to Know About Me…
So I was tagged by Naomi for this meme. I’m totally pumped to have been tagged, and hope that I can tell you some truely useless information about myself! So here we go…
1. Before my husband and I started going out, we were BEST friends. There a came a time though when he made it pretty clear to me that his intention was to marry me. My reaction? “Well, you’d better ask me out then!”
2. I’m not a fan of shoes… I wear them cause I have too, but it’s not my preference, and I don’t own very many (a lot less since Pepper came into the equation).
3. I honestly believe that it is my ‘call’ to be a mum. I think it’s what God wants me to be, and I think that with his help I’ll be able to do it well.
4. My computer at work is a mac mini, and my computer at home is a hackintosh.
5. I’m incredibly spoilt. Luke says I’m not allowed to spoil out children, or they will be… well… spoilt. Like me. 
6. I can validly (without including airports) tick off 4 countries that I’ve been to. Australia, London, Tunisia and Indonesia. I will tick off another 3 in about 13 days!! (Israel, Jordan & Egypt)
7. I have a wii fit and Rockband. Guess which gets used more…
Most people have already done this now, so I will endeavour to choose people who haven’t…
So the people I am tagging are:
And people I would have tagged, had they not already are Simon, Sue, Tawny, and many others…
