We went camping this April with three lovely families at our favourite spot, the Bonivale Campground in Bundeena, at the Royal National Park. Highlights of this adventure included catching crabs and taking them back to our campsite for ‘observation’ – pretty sure no crab was injured in this process, swiming, treking along the north head […]

So this July we went to Perisher ski resort, our favourite spot in the snowy mountain. We booked our trip for the week following school holidays so that we wouldn’t encounter too many people, but it was quite busy anyway. We lucked out with great snow conditions though- the best snow since the 1980s!! There […]

Camping in April was a bit of a long shot as the weather is unpredictable this time of year. Somehow I managed to select the few days where we had wind and rain over the entire sunny school holidays! We went to our favourite spot in the Royal National Park, the Bonivale Campground, an hour’s […]
Just when we thought the kids could not get any more chocolate, the next door neighbours, a lovely young couple brought treats for the kids, then later this weekend, our neighbour upstairs, our surrogate grandmum, brought more chocolate for the kids. They were in heaven! And after a few mishaps when the kids had too […]
For Christmas! Yes, Christmas prep came early this year. Its mid November and we’re already setting up our tree. The kids were thrilled to put all the ornaments on themselves (except for the lights and garland). Looks like we’re ready for you Santa!
