My baby is 11 – how did that happen? Haha! We have a tradition of opening up presents birthday morning – no matter our schedule. This means we may have to crawl out of bed a bit earlier to accommodate life but we do it anyway – it’s tradition. There is no complaining or attitude…
My husband is currently on his way to Wellington, New Zealand. Let me say that again, he is flying in an airplane, leaving Australia, to visit another country! Progress! We now have a travel bubble with NZ, yahoo! ✈️ My daughter wrote to Scott Morrison (Australian Prime Minister), to advocate for proper vacation time from…
My youngest had been away all weekend at a Girl Guides camp in the Macedon Ranges and we were due to pick her up Sunday in the late afternoon. A sunny (but brisk) autumn day, free from errands, presented itself so my son and I decided to make an afternoon out of collecting her. We…

Today we went to our local IMAX theatre to watch the Great Barrier Reef movie with our homeschooling group followed by some park play time outside the Melbourne Museum.

Today we left the kids at home to stroll the city streets of Melbourne.
It’s Easter weekend and the city is empty so we are out exploring another new neighbourhood of Melbourne, St Kilda. It’s a seaside suburb of inner Melbourne around 6km from the central business district.
What better way to celebrate another year on this planet than a holiday away? That’s what we thought anyway, so we packed up the car, the cake and the dog and we set out to Alpine National Park, to the village of Dinner Plain. This is our second time ordering a cake from Mille &…
