...and there he goes. My baby. His last year at Primary school. Oh my heart 💙 #gogetem

...and just like that, the Summer break is over. Spencer is back to school tomorrow, Lily on Thursday. Back to early starts, polishing shoes, packing school lunches, after school sports, the crazy, constant juggle...and I wouldn’t have it any other way. #heckyestrulyblessed #letsgo2020

It may have taken us years, but we finally got down to @danielsdonutsportarlington as a family today to see what all the fuss is about. Donuts aren’t really my jam (pardon the pun), but I have to say- these were pretty darn good. Portarlington is so underrated too. Such a great little seaside town, and only just over half an hours drive from Geelong town 👌🏼

Well what started off as a bit of a doozy of a day with tired kids and parents, warm sticky weather and tired legs from too much walking actually turned out to be a pretty epic day. Once we found our groove, upgraded our ground passes (I’d advise against ground passes folks!), and had some food- everyone was happy and ready to commit to back to back matches. We even discovered a new player today @tsandgren7 - total legend and gentleman. We will be following him from here on 🎾 The kids had a great time. So much to see and do. Awesome kids area. It’s massive, and something for all ages. Zip lining, rock climbing, mini courts, waterpark (pack togs!) and heaps more. Rolling in the door exhausted just shy of midnight. We will all sleep well tonight! 😴 Cheers Aus Open 🎾

Well if this is 38...I can’t wait to join you Mr Barnes. Wonderful evening celebrating our main man. It’s been one heck of a week for our little tribe and it was so nice to be surrounded by our families. Bring on the long weekend together!! 💃

The leader of our pack celebrates another lap around the sun today. He’s one who always keep us laughing and reminds us not to take life too seriously. The one who has taught us all about unconditional love and appreciation. Who always sees the good in everything and every one. Happy, Happy Birthday to you. You are so loved Mr Barnes. So very loved. 💙 #ABlapsthesun

When the kids are having a sleepover at Nanny’s place, we head to the supermarket for a hot date. Home to meal prep for the week ahead, then dinner and wine in front of @yellowstone I cooked us up a raw salad with 12 different veggies, topped with roast sweet potato and onion with @yumisdips black bean and beetroot falafel balls. Sprinkles of flax and sesame seeds, toasted slivered almonds and cracked pepper. So good! Have a great week friends x

Soooo, one of my insta friends and her family are in San Fran which instantly made me trawl through my own photos. What a place!

This girl. She’s a true blue, fair dinkum Wonder Dog I tell you. 15 years old today. We know just how lucky we are to still have her here with us. Our beautiful Lexi girl, Happy Birthday to you. 90 years old today, and what a champion you are 🌟 #magpiefox #15notout

We are a family of 4 from Victoria, Australia. We have always loved to travel, so after some serious planning, we took a year out of "normal" to show our kids the world. Visiting over 27 countries. Now we are back to discover what is next for our little tribe. Read more
