So what do you do at Jervis Bay on a rainy day? Yes, I know, it’s a horrifying prospect, but we cannot tell a lie. The weather is bad occasionally at Jervis Bay. Sad but true. We often pack all the kids in the car and scoot up the road to the Bay and Basin […]
This is our very favourite beach of all the beautiful beaches of Jervis Bay. There’s a Google map at the end to show you exactly where it is. A little bush walk down to the beach. Never feels crowded. Lovely snorkelling. Crystal clear water – the full works! A year ago we were there […]
Families with young children listen up! Quick, grab your buckets and spades and dash to the car. Drive immediately to Moona Moona Creek. You won’t regret it! For at Moona Moona Creek, you will find safe, shallow waters, usually crystal clear, and soft, soft sand. For young children, this is the best introduction to the lovely […]
This photo today because… it’s gorgeous because this week’s blast of heat held a promise of summer because if I’m lucky I might get to walk here next week but mainly because it’s beautiful and we all need some beauty in our lives What beautiful view have you enjoyed this week?

Mums and dads, you NEED to know this information! Is there anything better than a takeaway coffee in the playground? Yes, actually there is.

Here’s a bit of a round up post about our recent stopover in Dubai. Now that Qantas is using Dubai as a main hub, more of us Aussies will think of having a break there. Hope this post helps you make up your mind about whether it’d work well for your family. The kids mucking […]
Hello, have you been to the cinema recently with babies or young children? Do you know how many Sydney cinemas aim to be child-friendly?

The world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa, read about our visit here. Hello from Dubai! I’m not here with the kids this trip but these photos are from a stopover the kids and I did together. The kids and I LOVED eating camel milk chocolate! It’s not always boiling in Dubai, this was taken in […]
Manly Waterworks has a new name: Manly Surf n Slide. The place hasn’t changed too much at all, still in the same location and with the same three thrilling slides. A trip down to the slides is an annual (and often more) trip for myself and the kids. As the big boys grow up, they’ve […]
Mosman Council outdid itself when it upgraded the playground at Clifton Gardens Reserve.
