Almost ready to go… It’s the second week of the school holidays and Mr D has the week off, so what better to do than a mini road trip. I found a great deal on Scoopon (http://www.scoopon.com.au) for a little apartment right opposite the beach in a place called Hawkes Nest. It’s two and a […] Read more…
My week in pictures. October school holidays week 1. Love Instagram
Miss H is not going to give me a smile this evening! Cheeky! Early evening walk along the beach on Friday night. It has been the most humid day of spring so far and the breeze on the waters edge was just amazing!! I think I might be down there every evening when summer arrives. […] Read more…

Bad day at the office!
Today was one of those days where everything was destined to go wrong from the moment I opened my eyes (at 5:30am might I add). It started off when the heavens literally opened up on me during my morning run. I’m not talking a bit of English drizzle – I mean good, proper, bucketing […] Read more…
Would you leave your kids unattended in the car?
I decided that the best way to figure out which suburb to live in is to ask Emily (my new friend the sat nav) to take us to each one every day so that we can try before we buy!! So far each one has been lovely, but last night when looking through the endless […] Read more…
