Finally, we're heading west! After a extended stay back home in Mildura and killing time in Melbourne whilst our van was in getting some things repaired, it is finally time to really start our trip and head west, to places that we've not been before!

Spring time BBQ
Tonight we celebrated the 40th of a friend of ours. A stunningly beautiful day and mild evening made us remember why we love where we live so much. The outdoor living here is second to none and soon we'll be having meals and spending all out time outside. This time of year is still magic …
Oh, to be 18 again
Tonight was spent celebrating the 18th birthday of one of Mrs Mone's sons. And also of realising that my 18th birthday was 20 years ago!!! Yes, 20 whole years ago. OMG! Where on earth has that time gone? I remember my 18th like it was yesterday. With a birthday in March, I was one of …

Happy birthday Mum

Not Mother's Day, although since becoming a mother I have found it is much more bittersweet. Not even my own …
The packing of all the stuff
I love a weekend away, but I'm not at all a fan of the rigmorale associated with going. Today we're off to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my hubby's cousins so I'm in the process of pulling together ALL THE STUFF required of carting an infant and a toddler on an out-of-town trip. We're …
Supermum
As most parents know, late nights and kid-free shenanigans mean nothing come the light of day as your children clamber into your bed for their morning snuggles and family cartoon time.
