Current Book
My generous mother-in-law bought me a kindle for Xmas. I was so surprised and excited at once. Finally I can start reading all those books I have on a wishlist in my mind. First cab off the rank is Tina Fey's 'BossyPants'. I'm about 1/4 way through, so far, so good.
Current Playlist
Wow, this is so hard to pick at the moment. SO much great music out at the moment. Here are my current favourites.
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
This is my pick of albums for 2011. Each and every song is brilliant. Do yourself a favour, have a listen. This album will take you places. I'm seeing Bon Iver in March at the Sydney Opera House and I can barely contain my excitement. There will be tears shed, for sure.
The Black Keys - El Camino
A close runner-up for album of the year. Every track on this is fun and fresh. And I bet your husband's will like this one too. Turn it up LOUD and enjoy!
The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence
This is the final album released in the trilogy of albums for 2011 by this amazing new artist. It's definitely not kid friendly, lots of cursing and lyrics about sex, drugs etc. This album was only released 3 weeks ago but it's already a favourite.
SBTRKT - SBTRKT
Another fabulous album, this is my dance selection for the playlist. I'm seeing them next month at Laneway Festival in Sydney, cannot wait.
Singles that made the cut:
- Lana Del Rey - Off To The Races, Video Games and Born To Die
- Miike Snow - Devil's Work
- Avicii and David Guetta - Sunshine (Bootleg Remix)
- Iron and Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth
- Girls - Vomit
Current Colour
Blue for water. It's all around me. The ocean, swimming pool, my drink of choice, cold showers on hot afternoons.
Current Drink
Water. Kirks Lemon Squash and Pasito. Coffee from my new Delonghi Nespresso machine, bliss.
Current Food
Smoothies. Fruit. Lamb. Chicken Schnitzel rolls. Ice blocks.

Current New Favourite Show
I am halfway through the latest season of Gossip Girl. It's the best season in years. Except Liz Hurley is in it which makes me want to barf. She is the worst villain ever. About to start watching Downton Abbey which I've heard is good. American Horror Story and the new season of Mad Men (finally!) are also on my radar.
Current Wish List
I'm about to start the Michelle Bridges 12 WBT program. And I'm terrified. Diets and exercise programs have worked for me in the past, like Jenny Craig and personal training at the gym, but I'm really nervous about what lies ahead in the future. So I'm wishing for courage and motivation, I'm going to need it!
Current Triumphs
I only gained 300grams over Xmas/NYE. This is miracle because I ate my weight in salad, ham, and ice cream. 2012 is the year I start living like a normal healthy person.

Current Abigail
My baby girl started pre-school this week. The centre is brand new and only opened this week as well. So it's been a huge week of us in the McKinnon household. Also, Abs is becoming such a little fish in the pool. Yesterday after kindy, Abi and I swam for an hour and half. With no floaties on, just diving and jumping and leaning to blow bubbles. I am so proud of her. At the moment, all Abi talks about is how much longer before we go to Disneyland? And I tell her, it's only 8 months to go baby!
Current Edward
My little man isn't little anymore. He is 10 months old this week and the light in our lives. He crawls and cruises around the furniture. He likes the water, but doesn't like the beach very much. He loves to eat toast, sandwiches, yoghurt, custard, watermelon, bananas, and pasta. He sleeps from 7pm - 7am, every night, like a little trooper. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life.

Ryan Gosling... What a lush!
Current #1 Blessing
We survived the road trip to Noosa and back. I was really dreading how the kids would go in the car for 2 days but they were fantastic. My in-laws generously gave James and I solar heating for the pool as our Xmas gift. We had it installed the week before Xmas. Currently my pool temp is hovering around 32'c. Yes, you read it right, 32'c. Balmy and lovely. We stay in the pool for hours.

Instagram. My favourite app for quite some time. I am really enjoying playing along with Telle at fatmumslim, the January Photo-A-Day challenge is fantastic. Get on board!
