Favourite Video – this mum had some guts – and thank God the kid didn’t screw it up!! Love Buble’s reaction when he realise the kid can sing.
Favourite Song
Book I enjoyed the most
Best speech of the year. In January 2011 Queensland was underwater with a series of tragic floods that destroyed many homes and took a number of lives. Throughout it all Queensland Premier Anna Bligh fronted up day in day out to the media and gave a bloody fine example of leadership in a crisis. I was only a pseudo Queenslander for 10 years but in this speech she made everyone proud of the Northern State.

Book that made me think the most – was prepared to hate it but Chua is actually quite a humourous writer and made some points that did get me considering our Western parenting style.
Favourite film of the year – now realise I didn’t get out much this year – so am going to pick the last movie I saw (which was Christmas present DVD) – very Australian, funny and incredibly sad.
Looking back not really a cheery selection but oh well. I hope each and every one of my readers has a great new year and best wishes for a fantastic 2012.
Can I add a favourite? Blogger of the year – Janine Fitzpatrick! Have loved all of your blogs Janine, please keep them up in 2012 as I think nearly every busy mum can identify with the same issues. It makes me feel as though I am not alone and we are actually all doing our best, and actually all doing okay! See you tonight to see the new year in.
Aww thank you so much. I really appreciate your support. To everyone who stops by and leaves comments I love blogging but it is time consuming and without your feedback it would be hard to justify. So thank you everyone.
Hi Janine
As we come to the end of a great year I think I should take the time to tell you how proud I am of you and all you achieve – as I wont be spending New Year with you have a great one and thanks for all you have done for me over the year – You and Simon have done a wonderful job with my “Princess Child” and “Hippie Child” and you know I “love them to death”.
