Last weekend we decided to have some fun with the kids at Sydney’s Olympic Park . To make it a little bit more exciting than normal we booked a family room at the Pullman Hotel for the night. Mr D has often done day trips with the kids there but I usually opt to stay at home […] Read more…
We were in Darling Harbour the other day with the most beautiful winter sunshine. I took the opportunity to practice at taking my camera off the automatic setting. I just wish I could remember what I did each time I like the shots!! I’m still really struggling to get my focus right, it’s very […] Read more…
I popped down to the beach this morning with Miss L for a bit of fresh air and it was just spectacular. Although the air was a bit chilly, the sky couldn’t have been bluer nor water any clearer if they had tried. While Miss L ran around like a loony (clearly she needed the […] Read more…

Life during the school term is really just a series of moments. Routines are in full swing and I always seem to be rushing around with a never ending to-do list. Here are just a few (ok, quite a few) of my favourite moments from the last month. They’re all taken from my Instagram account […] Read more…
I’m so exited to be hosting the Digital Parents Blog Carnival this month – so much so that putting it together has been pushed right to the very top of my to-do list (which is very long, and often never ending believe me!). I’ve been linking up and joining in the fun for quite a […] Read more…
Today is officially the first day of Autumn for us in the Southern Hemisphere. I feel a little sad that summer is over and Sydney is doing her very best today to rub salt in the wound. It’s grey, dull, raining cats and dogs and all round miserable out there – oh and not to […] Read more…
