I made another little go-pro video for this weeks wordless Wednesday. This time it’s just a quick one on how we managed to actually leave the house and set up our tent in the howling wind when we went on our family camping trip a few weeks ago. As you’ll see I really wasn’t exaggerating […] Read more…
It’s no big surprise that doing the Long Reef headland walk is like medicine for my soul. The views just NEVER get old and I always come home smiling afterwards. I’ve posted so many beautiful photos before that I thought I’d do something a little different today. I hope you like it. *This video was […] Read more…
It’s the first day back to school today after the school holidays and although I have a sick little one still with me, the house feels eerily quiet. However, I am totally loving the fact that I haven’t heard one “Muuuuuuuum…..” all morning, and when I’ve sat down, I’ve actually managed to stay sitting for longer […] Read more…
The lovely Pip from ‘Meet me at Mikes’ has posted about taking stocking this month. It made me realise that the last time I ‘took stock‘ and had a close look at where I am and what I’m doing in that moment was just over a year ago. It’s amazing how time flies! Pip is […] Read more…
This morning the ocean washed up some funny looking green balls onto Long Reef Beach – my local. There’s been lots of speculation about what they are, as no one seems to seen them before. Some people are even calling them ‘aliens eggs’ They just look like balls of woven seaweed to me, but it’s totally amazing […] Read more…
A couple of weeks ago we drove into Sydney (all of 45 mins) for a family weekend stay-cation as guests of the Cambridge Hotel. It was Father’s Day too which made it extra special to be away together for the whole weekend. We often go into the city for the day, but this was the first time we’ve stayed […] Read more…
Last Saturday we took the kids to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney to do some science experiments (It was science weekend). It was pouring with rain for what felt like the hundredth day in a row and I just couldn’t bear another day inside the house all with three kids! When we got there I felt […] Read more…
So how good are you at solving riddles? Master J’s class have been having some special days at school where the kids have been doing Maths and English challenges with their parents. Some of them have been pretty damn tricky and I’m starting to think I need to go back to school. I picked up […] Read more…
Yesterday was the very last day of Winter and even though Collaroy Beach was totally showing off in the setting sun, I couldn’t help but do a little happy dance. Sydney winters are hardly bad and I have no grounds to complain, but I think my blood has thinned since living in Australia and I’ve come […] Read more…
It’s Monday. It’s raining cats and dogs outside. My washing is still on the line (also outside). We have no food in the house and I probably won’t make it to the shops today. HOWEVER I have about an hour before Miss L wakes up from her lunch time nap. So guess what I’m going to […] Read more…
