(See Post 1 of 2 here) Our final day at the snow went off without a hitch, and even though the kids were tired (Julius especially) they went hard on that last day and got even better with their skills. By the end of that day, Chance and Quinn had gone up in the big…
Continue reading →Wow. Just wow. This trip was three months in the thinking/planning/making, and we were rewarded with an incredible experience that the kids will be talking about for years to come, I’m sure. Or at least until the next snow trip they are already planning… When Marian said to me, over Kris & Kate’s kitchen table…

I started the “daily trip” on the Calm app with Marty…

After a fantastic five days away at Pizzey’s, we are home, with the kids relaxing with friends, and me being happy it’s a good drying day. It’s the little things, right? And look at me blogging about our holiday straight away! Winning all round! I…
Continue reading →My heart is overflowing with love and gratitude and all the good things a trip to Melbourne brings. We arrived home last night to a very excited Juilus and a very happy, albeit exhausted Gran & Grumpy. A HUGE shout-out to Mum and Dad for having Jules for four nights while we were away and…
Continue reading →Okay so I’ve been a little slack with keeping my blog up-to-date with our adventures. But it’s Saturday night, the kids are (mostly) occupied, and I have enough motivation and creative energy to get this thing done. I hope… 🙂 As many of you know, we tried to get away to Stanthorpe last year, only…
Continue reading →I was chatting to my friend the other day about spending some of my childhood in a little town west of Cairns called Dimbulah. I was saying that we had taken a trip back there last September, staying in Cairns and heading out to Dimbulah for a huge reunion with the folks we grew up…
