December was a month of celebrations in our house. Two birthdays, year 6 graduation, end of year concert, community street party plus Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I’m also happy that I have seen this project through. My goal at the start of the year was to see if I could document some of my […]

November sees most of us getting ready for the hectic month before Christmas. Thinking about Christmas preparations and all the end of year events can be stressful. This month I chose to still make plans and prepare but balance that with catch ups with friends and a movie afternoon with the kids. Here are some […]

It seemed like October came and went in the blink of an eye. I was lucky enough to get to visit New Zealand. A country I had never been to before but had always wanted to visit. It was a girl’s road trip without kids! The break was fun and we all enjoyed catching up with other […]

School holidays were on this September. The slower pace in the mornings made me happy. There wasn’t that mad rush to get out the door. I would make the kids French toast for breakfast and we would sit down together at the table – normally its quick, here’s some toast for you as they are walking […]

June. The end of this month brought school holidays which means relaxed mornings – no frantic packing of school lunches or searching for homework. We live a five minute walk from school but still get there just on time! I also managed a few days in Cairns, a welcome break from the cold weather snap. […]

May. A family holiday saw us visiting Thailand. The kids and I spent our days swimming, building sand castles and eating yummy Thai food. We were happy to come back home not that we didn’t love Thailand. For me holidays are the best when you can relax and have fun in the place you are […]

Spending time over the Easter break with friends, sharing delicious food, swimming in our local waterhole made me happy this month. This is what else made me smile 🙂   How about you? What made […]
