Book Week 2019 So glad the senior school students are also included in this fun day. For these two book worms and Harry Potter lovers, it was no surprise they chose to dress up as their favourite wizards 🧙‍♂️ My half done DIY tie was left on the bench when “Harry” decided he’d wear his spells t-shirt from Universal studios Japan instead 🙄 #bookweek2019 #expelliarmus #stupefy

Best long weekend away with my best mate 💙

It was December 2017, a month after we’d left for our year long travels around the globe, and I’d received a DM from another Aussie Mum who was about to embark on the same adventure with her young family. We got chatting and a few months later, in April 2018, we happened to be in the same place at the same time- beautiful Bali. Plans were made to meet up and enjoy sunset on the beach together. We hit it off. The kids adored each other as did the adults. A few days later, we all parted ways and continued our own travel journeys. Fast forward to August 2019 - an adults only getaway in Hobart. The Ganly’s from Townsville, the Barnes’ from Geelong. Kids spending the weekend with their Grandparents. Months of planning and organising. It was epic! Incredible weather. Fun adventure and brilliant company. Bring on 2020 “Barn-ly” crew!!!! Love you long time! 💚

I’d quite happily live in a pink house 🏠 So many beautiful buildings and homes in Hobart.

We’ve escaped to Tassie for a long weekend. The last time we were here together was 2005, and gee it’s great to be back 💚

Have you ever taken your kids to one of your favourite places and it turns out to be an epic fail?! We had a day out and about in Sydney before our Hawaii trip...it was the kids first time to Sydney. Andrew and I frequent often for our wedding anniversary and it’s always been super special to us. When we arrived - it was early. Everyone was a little hangry. The weather was so cold and windy, and we didn’t have enough clothing. Everyone was grumpy and in short, it was a bit of a fail. We had brunch next to the Oprah House and wandered around, trying to get warm. We ended up finding a shopping centre, grabbed a seat in the food court away from the howling winds and made the most of the wifi until it was time to get the train back to the airport for our flight to sunny Hawaii. Don’t get me wrong- it wasn’t all bad. The kids were pinching themselves at the sight of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, they thought Maccas $1 chips were awesome and we did manage to catch a little sunshine in the afternoon. Lesson learnt darling husband, let’s leave Sydney just for us ❤️

Andrew and I discovered @yeahboy.geelongwest not long after we returned from our big trip and have thoroughly enjoyed many a delicious meal there since. We’d never taken the kids and were quite happy to keep it as our own little date night secret...BUT tonight we cracked and they came along with us. Epic food as always. Delicious cocktails. So many options- veggo, vegan, carnivore, they’ve thought of everything! My fave? The fried tofu bao buns OMG 😯😍 Now home to get warm!! 🥶 #notanad #justsharingthelove

GUYS!!!! She picked THE dress 👰🏼 Locked in the one she couldn’t stop thinking about after trying it on a few weeks ago. Everything has fallen into place so beautifully. Exactly how it should be when something is so right. Bring on the wedding!! #HillygotHearps

She’s the boobie to my bunch. The spread to my sheet 🤓 The mover to my shaker, the yes to my no. The one who is always composed- full of grace and style. My mate Em, who would happily live on Vegemite toast and English breakfast tea, you are 40 today. I’m so looking forward to seeing you tonight. Happy Birthday my beautiful friend. Enjoy your special day 💖🥂#boobiesisters
