Another year gone and left us in its wake. 2015 has been good to me – I got my PhD and started my first professional job, plus had a couple trips away and of course spent the year surrounded by family and friends.
On New Year’s Eve my degree was conferred and I was officially awarded the title of Doctor, so 2016 starts with a new title, new degree, and gainful employment!
Now that it’s New Year’s Day I can finally start using my new Sloths 2016 Calendar!! Up first in January is little Pumpkin!
It’s August! And you know what that means? A new month = a new sloth! This time it’s the oh-so-adorable Velcro. Who we know from A Little Book of Sloth. But one of them is flipped, take a look!
April’s calendar star is Matteo of the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica! You might know from his biography that he loves his little giraffe toy, Mr. Moo.
Also I’m trying to find out the name of that other little sloth hovering over April 5, 6 and 7… stay tuned.
I love March. The Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival, my birthday, great weather…
This month we have a wedding to look forward to, the boy can’t wait for footy to start, and there’s even a public holiday thrown in there too.
Also the start of a new month means the start of a new sloth to adorn my wall! So for the next 31 days I get to look at the beautiful face of… Buttercup!!
P.S. I love Buzzfeed’s “day in the life” of Buttercup!
Well, another year has left us in its wake. 2014 was a year of a lot of amazing things, including meeting sloths for the very first time (and hopefully not the last)! New Year’s Eve saw me go to a friend’s house for bubbly, BBQ, board games, and sparklers on the beach. Nothing over the top, just a bunch of laughter and good times with some wonderful friends. I hope all your evenings were special too.

Okay so it’s January now… How did that happen? The new bed is getting delivered tomorrow morning so today is going to be disassembling the old one, washing new sheets etc getting ready for that, now that the boy and I are actually up (it’s midday…still have to have a shower…).
I think the best thing about this first day of 2015 is that I get to start using my Hangin’ with Sloths calendar! I flipped it open last night before bed (well, it was already today after all) and this morning woke up to Velcro’s gorgeous face! 
Have a good 2015 everyone!
The newest video from Lucy Cooke, Sloth Magic. Absolutely adorable.
Also my Hanging with Sloth 2015 calendar arrived today! Eep! So excited!!
It’s December! And that means it’s time to get onto your Chrissy shopping if you haven’t yet. Last year I posted the Ultimate Sloth Gift Guide, but each year more weird and wonderful sloth-related products and experiences seem to come into existence, so here’s my top-ten pick for 2014.
Number 10: Sloth Tops
BelovedShirts.com has you completely covered on this front… literally. This Majestic Sloth top is one of my favs.

Number 8: Sloth Art
Etsy delivers the goods on this one. This beautiful sloth watercolour is absolutely fabulous.
Number 7: Sloth Hat
When you’re lazing around (or not?) this totally cute sloth hat is ideal for keep those little slothy ears warm.
Number 6: Sloth Clocks
Sloths have a habit of being late! Nothing wrong with that, but if you need to know the time and want to do it in lazy style, this funky vintage sloth clock (slock? cloth?) will set you right. 
Number 5: Sloth Onesie
For the intense sloth lover, you can’t go past this all-over sloth onesie from Kigurumi. Ideal for lounging, lazing, and sleeping… a sloth’s favourite activities.

Number 2: Meet the Sloths Series
Chill out one afternoon (or many) and have a marathon of Meet the Sloths. The amount of gasping, Aww exclaiming and heart-melting you will experience is like no other.
Number 1: Adopt a Sloth
Get the real deal through the World Wildlife Fund. You won’t get to take a sloth home, but you will be contributing to the conservation and maintenance of sloths everywhere, so that they can be around to enjoy for generations to come.
And finally…
Don’t forget to wrap your sleepy presents in some sloth wrapping paper, and send a sweet snoozy message on some sloth Christmas cards like these ones from Night Owl Paper Goods.
Happy holidays!
