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 […]

The MLTS boys had an “awesome time” at Wild Buggy! Located in Heatherton, about a 20 minute drive from Frankston (right next to Costco), Wild Buggy is an adventure driving park where you get to drive around in really cool camo painted buggy’s equipment with super suspension over many different terrains! To be honest, I […]

Did you know Melbourne’s Zoos are free for kids in the school holidays! What a great saving! Especially if you have multiples of the little darlings! I’ve had ‘zoo visit’ on my ‘to do list’ for the kids for a little while now so given the school holidays are currently upon us, we packed up […]

Today Stella and I checked out Vjunior cinema at Village Southland, a new cinema experience which has been designed especially for kids 3-10 years! Stella has been to the cinema quite a few times in her short little life but she has never experienced anything as exciting as this before! There are three different seating sections […]

Parent guilt. We have all experienced it at one time or another; I personally, feel some sort of parental guilt almost everyday! But the good news is, we’re not alone people! Did you know 80% of mums and dads will admit to regularly doubting their own parenting decisions! Eighty percent! That’s ridiculous! Why are we torturing ourselves?! […]

If you’re looking for somewhere to take the family these school holidays then Castlemaine ticks all the boxes. I must admit when I was asked if I would like to go on a weekend away with the family to Castlemaine for work, I had absolutely no idea where it was and what it’s attractions were. […]

Spring is in the air, footy finals fever has hit Melbs, the Royal Melbourne Show is on and two weeks is just the right amount of time to not get too sick of the kids (unlike Christmas school hols…eeek!)
