Here’s a swimming pool with a wave machines to excite and delight Sydney families from all over. Don’t you love swimming with the kids? It wears them out and we parents can splash around and get some exercise too. I’m sometimes startled by how many parents sit by the pool fully clothed whilst their kids play. They’re […]
After last weekend’s e-switchoff, I got home on Monday night to the inbox from hell. OK, most of it is about the kids, that’s true. Teachers’ emails, class mums’ emails, sporting team emails, music teacher emails, kids social lives’ emails. Everything in their life seems to be funnelled through me and my brain’s exploding just […]
This is a really easy 2.5km walk, very suitable for young children and even for parents with babies and toddlers in 4WD strollers. Obviously, there’s much discussion of pirates, shipwrecks, buried treasure etc on a walk like this. My friend and I, with our four twins, went on a wild and windy day. […]
On a sunny Sunday recently, the twin terrors and I headed up for a day trip to the beautiful Blue Mountains. As you can see above, they were dead keen to see the views from busy Echo Point. The Three Sisters were looking lovely, and the views stretched out for miles. Stunning. A […]
This post is out of date! A new playground has been installed. Read all about it and see photos on this post on All Things Mom Sydney. A playground by the beach, how lovely. This small playground at Balmoral is in a fantastic area, just by the netted baths and very close to the cafe. […]
On a sunny winter’s day the playground you need is exactly the opposite to the one you need on a sunny summer’s day. Avoid those shade cloths and find a playground without. If you are around the western suburbs, here’s a great one to head to, especially if you have older children as well […]

Ah, I’ve just walked past the hotel on Exhibition Street in Melbourne where I resigned from my first TV job. Which turned out to be the best job I ever had. Which is all highly reminiscent of the first boyfriend I ever had, who was, it turned out, the best boyfriend ever. But like with […]
I think I knew the brutal reality of having kids; that it’s joyous one moment and horrendous the next; and that’s been my experience. I love this quote, it’s on page 9 of our new book and every time I read it I want to cry and laugh. Our publisher asked Benison O’Reilly, Cathie Knox […]
Well, when I say top speed, I’m talking about my top speed. Which is pretty slow really. On Tuesday my dearest Eldest went back to school. He was the last, between the four of them preschool/school holidays had lasted 4 weeks. These days I like to mark the start and end of […]
50% of my extremely boisterous bairns go back to school today. Can I just say ‘thank goodness?’ Much as I do love a change of routine, and a break from the lunches/morning teas regime ….. Much as I’m so grateful that Mr6 has learned how to look after himself and not wake […]
