Am sitting here alone in my office as all of my colleagues are on annual leave. The aircon died about 3 days ago so I have all the other units in our space on full blast to try and cool my area down! I've ticked off a few things this morning and am getting ready to …

Pictures speak a thousand words
Today it was time to go home *sadface* And after a restless night with a teething bubba (resulting on being thrown up on in our bed at 5am), it was a long long day of packing up, driving and constant twisting and turning to deal with backseat dramas (OMG, I need an appointment with the chiropractor …
It could have been worse
You know its been a night of good, solid sleep when you don't have to wake in the middle of the night to trudge the several hundred metres to the amenities block!! But despite the decent sleep I woke up feeling like I'd slept with my head resting up against the wall. I realised mid …
Let the relaxing begin
It took us 10 hours but we made it!! We moseyed our way to Yarrawonga, stopping for a long lunch and to pick strawberries from The Big Strawberry at Koonoomoo. We arrived at around 5ish (much to the worry of our camping buddies), and then spent a few hours to set up. And finally …
Ready, or are we?
Today is the official start to my week of annual leave. With the intention of packing our camper trailer so that we could wake up and simply head off, we woke early and by 8.30am I'd dropped the girls at childcare for the day. That's pretty much where it began to come unstuck. Dear hubby …
Rainy day
Today we were supposed to go camping. Notice how I said supposed to go. We headed off to swimming lessons first thing, in the rain. We spent the morning getting organised and packing up the camper trailer, in the rain. We headed over to my sister & brother-in-law's place for a family lunch, in the rain. …
Pig in mud
Well, we're home! After our week long camping extravaganza, we've returned to face the unpacking, laundry and preparations for the start of a new week (albeit a short one). We've had such a fabulous week, filled with family and friends and two extremes of camping - caravan park v riverside bush camping. Both are great, …
Crushin’ on the river
When we moved to where we live six years ago, we knew the river was going to be a big part of our lives. My hubby had grown up on the Murray River and I too had spent holidays and weekends camping on rivers, creeks and beaches. Since moving here, I've spent a bit of time …
My weary bones
Easter weekend is a massive weekend where I live. Our town hosts a series of huge motor sports competitions and on Good Friday the visitors and locals alike get to check out all the souped up vehicles in a show and shine event. That's where I come in. Getting up at 5am is never fun but …
The G&Ts await me
So we got home today from our little caravan park camping trip and got stuck straight back into sorting through our stuff ready for our couple of days bush camping. This evening, we headed out to our campsite by the river to set up the camper trailer as a few of our group were spending tonight …
