Living on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula where the sand and surf meets the land and suburbs, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do with kids. With an abundance of places to see and things to do for all ages, here are some of our top picks for places to go […]

So, Hazel is officially nine months old. I know right?! I’m finding it so hard to believe that in just 12 weeks time we will be celebrating her first birthday! So crazy. I would be lying if I said she has made a massive change to our family. I mean, yes, she’s made a great […]

Ok, just for a moment I’m going to shut my eyes and pretend I’m a Dad… Oh… this is nice… yes, I could get used to this… wake up, make breakfast (alone) have a shower (without anyone crying out my name) get dressed (without anyone pulling at my clothes or trying to use my things) […]

Now firstly, I can not take credit for inventing this recipe myself. What I can take credit for though is accidentally deliberately devouring the whole lot of them and only leaving a few crumbs for the family to fight over…sorry not sorry. Best chocolate chip cookies ever. Not lying. INGREDIENTS 125g soft Butter 1/2 cup […]

It’s a funny world this “mummy blogger” business. We can put hours into writing a blog piece for our website, editing, photographing, bribing the kids with a lollipop to stand still so we can capture that perfect moment… and then we post and we wait. We wait for reactions, for likes, for comments, for shares […]

It’s always challenging to think of healthy dishes the kids will actually eat! Not only that, but quick healthy dishes that we can whip up after one of their many after school activities (swimming, dancing, soccer…it’s never ending!) Our microwave scrambled eggs are so easy to prepare that you’ll have them on the plate within […]

When it comes to breastfeeding, no two mum’s experiences are the same. And as the birth of my third child nears, I know this time it could be different to the first and to the second. I have mixed emotions when I think about the early stages of breastfeeding. I remember how much I loved […]

If there’s one soup that’s got it all; veggies, nutrients, taste and that special Winter heartiness, it’s good old-fashioned minestrone soup. Or as we like to call it As-Much-Veggies-as-You-Can-Find-in-the-Fridge Soup. Honestly, you can put almost any vegetables in this big pot of goodness, add stock and tomatoes and viola, it’s good to go! Our recipe is based on […]

Just a 2.5 hour drive from Frankston, Ballarat is the perfect destination for a mini vacay with the fam, even in the heart of Winter. Yes, it was cold! But with jackets, beanies and gloves, we braved the elements (which to be honest, weren’t all that bad and didn’t dampen the adventure one bit!) and […]

Having a baby is honestly the most amazing thing you will ever experience, but it can also be very frightening and overwhelming as you enter the world of the unknown! Even though I am about to have my third child, I am still quite conscious of the fact that I don’t know what lies ahead, […]
