Tully just completed first grade last year and for a lot of kindy and year 1 she was a bit behind the other kids in reading. She was doing ok, but it just felt like it hadn’t ‘clicked’ for her yet. She was struggling with reading with expression and sometimes she took so long to read a paragraph that she didn’t really absorb what had happened in the story, which made comprehension a bit of a struggle sometimes.
Pavlova grazing platters are so popular now – so we have put together an Australian themed one for your Australia day celebrations!
These holidays Tully watched School of Rock for the first time and it’s safe to say she’s obsessed. There’s has been numerous viewings, listening to the songs and asking me to rip her jeans for her! So when we were invited to School of Rock the Musical, it’s safe to say that she was pretty excited.
It’s back to school time – which means school shoe shopping! This year Tully is heading in to year two and Mylo is starting school – he’s so excited. As we were preparing to do our back to school shopping and keeping an eye out for the bargains, we saw something that made as actually squeal! Our very favourite shoe range, Bobux, is now doing a school shoe range!
“Ogres are like onions, they have layers.” Shrek is one of our all time favourite movies as a family and we were excited to be given tickets to attend the opening night of Shrek the Musical at the Lyric Theatre.

Christmas morning is magical, but it can also be a bit chaotic. Many families have people dropping in and out all morning, kids running around wanting to open presents, and just general chaos.

The Grinch pancakes and the reindeer waffles are always popular here, while my husband insists on the BLAT every year and I prefer fruit salad. Our breakfast grazing platter is the perfect solution if you have a steady stream of visitors during the morning – they can help themselves!
Christmas is a time of family, celebration and joy. However, if you have kids, it’s also a time of STUFF! So much stuff. Every year I’m torn between buying Tully what she wants and also stressing out about the amount of plastic landfill we are creating. Tully loves stuff, really, really loves it. Anything small, plastic and with ‘a cute little face’ and she can’t get enough of it. Being surrounded by her collections makes her feel safe. However, it makes me feel overwhelmed! Plus, we live with my niece and nephew, so between the three of them it’s chaos!
Christmas lunch is coming and often meat is the centre of the meal. But what if glazing a ham or roasting a turkey isn’t really your thing? Or what if you don’t even eat meat? Well, we have got you covered! Here are 5 ways you can cheat with meat this Christmas!
For me, it starts to feel like Christmas as soon as the smell of mangoes hits the air. Mangoes and fresh Christmas trees are the things that make Christmas. We are so lucky to have a summer Christmas, where all the best fruits are out!
