So after blowing all our data allowance uploading all the pics from Fraser Island, I am waaaay behind in my updates! After our awesome week and a half in Hervey Bay and on Fraser Island we headed inland to catch up with family at Mundubbera. I spent much of my childhood in Mundubbera after Mum …

Memories are made from days like these
Remember those trips as a kid where you were camping or fishing or running around with friends and how snippets of those times come back to you now and again as moments of nostalgia many years later in adulthood? That's what we created today. A day spent on the water in the ski boat (thanks …
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 …
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
Dear Mum Did you know that I find your birthday the most hardest of all the days to deal with? Not the anniversary of your death, or the many annual holiday dates that have passed since then.

I think the balmy night spent in easy company made the drinks go down very very well! Thankfully though, despite a …

Memories in the making
I slept like the dead last night! Yesterday was spent running around like a blue-arsed fly trying to get all of our stuff organised. I think I've mentioned before just how much STUFF IS REQUIRED!!! But I've moved on from that and have managed to have a couple of quiet beers after the girls went to …
Memory Lane Monday – Nana
I was looking for something in cupboard today when I saw this and thought it'd be a great MLM. This is a picture of my Nana, her sister and her mother taken back in 1918. How fabulous are these old photographs - despite my dodgy attempt to get a good picture of them, the …
Memory Lane Monday – Dad
It has been said that relationships with fathers can be pretty complicated and I can certainly attest to that! My dad and I had what some might describe as a love/hate relationship. Both in possession of some very stereotypical Aries traits, my dad and I challenged each other in many ways. Aries are renown for …
Memory Lane Monday – Mum
One of driving forces behind this new blog is to create a vault of stories and memories for my girls to look back upon when they are older. Not just about me and our life, but also about the grandparents they’ll never know. So I thought I’d kick off a regular weekly post called Memory …
