Oh yeah, that’s right, I have a blog! It has been over four months since my last post, unless you count all the posts I have written in my head and all the posts I have intended to publish! But I guess you can’t count those, so I’m here now, sitting at a table at…
Continue reading →Well, as close to a “Yes Day” that my kids will ever see! Our lovely friends Ally and Chris nominated us to have a “Day at The Ekka on the ABC” and we won! I have never taken the kids to the Ekka, knowing it would cost a small fortune to actually do all the…
Continue reading →I was aware that the Saturday we were leaving was the first day of school holidays for NSW, and driving north out of Sydney, I was absolutely convinced that the traffic was going to start building up very early. The alarm went off at 6am and after admiring the sunrise (it was stunning!) we got…
