Taking the long way home
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 …

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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
