I love Christmas – the decorations, the food, the summer Australian Christmas vibe. I have a so-so relationship with presents however. Not real comfortable with the accumulation of stuff that the holiday season brings folks. If Santa were going to bring me my perfect present it would be an opportunity to travel, and explore…
Here’s the thing. I hate traveling in school holidays. Airfares multiply threefold, accommodation rates double, and places are crowded. My eldest has only started school this year so I am just working out how to handle this. Taking him out of school for a week or two for short trips, or for just a couple…
How much do your kids love LEGO® Speaking with other Mums I know that I am not the only one that spends a fair share of her time chasing after those little blocks. Watergardens Town Centre is transforming into a world of creativity this June/July School holidays with a heap of LEGO® models (and giant ones at…

Okay, so 2013 hasn’t been the easiest year for us. The culprit, Bub 3 running amok in my uterus and causing all manner of problems since June.
