When I hear the words travelling with a toddler I must admit that my heart rate escalates and I start to feel panicky. However, I refuse to stay inside for the duration of Lucy’s toddlerhood and believe that exposing her to the situations that are normal to our family will teach her how to respond to those events. This post is about what worked for us getting away and back, and adjusting to a holiday routine. Read the rest of this entry

Our first holiday away as a family was when Lucy was about 3.5 months. For us, this was a perfect time to go away for many reasons – and I would heartily recommend that if you want to go away overseas or interstate when you’ve had your baby, this would be a pretty good time (keep in mind we didn’t have to deal with reflux or colic). We travelled from Perth to Brisbane (about a 6 hour flight one way and 5.5 hours the other). Read the rest of this entry
The title of this blog post sounds like a new release horror film. Who in their right mind would take a toddler shopping!? But you know what? It has to be done – for food, household supplies, clothes in the next size up for the kidlets….and of course for a coffee OUT OF THE HOUSE! I saw the most amazing thing at Garden City one day and I had to share it (you may already know about this, but if not prepared to be amazed). Read the rest of this entry
I have just stumbled across this fabulous website called A Coffee in the Park!
It lists parks both north and south of the river with a source of coffee and a play ground for the kids. Each listing tells you what facilities are available and shows you what the playground and park area looks like. The only thing the website doesn’t tell you about is baby change facilities or parent’s rooms.
I found it quite enjoyable shopping for the perfect nappy bag. I decided that I would use it as my handbag and nappy bag at the same time so I was looking for something perfect with that in mind. And of course price was a BIG factor, so that sadly ruled out all the designer ones (eg. http://www.oioi.com.au/ which are very nice, but out of my budget!) Read the rest of this entry
We love football. I went to every game I possibly could last year, right up until I was 39 weeks pregnant and we took Lucy to her first game when she was 5 weeks old. Read the rest of this entry
