Christmas is a time for family and making memories. One of our favourite ways to spend time as a family is with family movie nights. We all take turns choosing the movie so we can share our favourites with everyone. This December we have decided that every family movie night will feature Christmas!
If you have a lot of kids then teacher gifts can really blow your Christmas budget. Preschool age kids often have several teachers, which can really add to the cost. To help you pull together some teacher gifts we have 10 super easy, no fuss teacher gifts ideas that you can pull together in minutes. No crafting or cooking involved! All of these gifts are in the $10-15 range (some are a few cents over $15) and you can choose how you want to wrap them!
We’re all on a budget at Christmas time and you guys loved last year’s Christmas Lunch for under $150 menu so much, that I’ve done an all new one. Last year’s menu served around 12 adults. This is a whole new menu, focusing on one statement meat dish and plenty of sides, plus a cheese plate and desserts.
The Elves are coming, the Elves are coming! It’s almost time and if you (like me) need some fresh idea this year we have teamed up with The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition to pull together some of the favourite ideas, including some Aussie inspired ideas for your Elf this holiday season.
Canberra is a fantastic place for a mini break with the family. Only four hours from Sydney, there is so much to see and do. Here are our favourite places to visit, eat and stay in Canberra with kids.
We love camping! We go away 2-3 times a year with a group of families and it’s so much fun! The kids get to run around the campground unsupervised and the adults get to relax. The one thing that can be made harder at camping can be cooking dinners. Not all campgrounds have a well equipped camp kitchen so I wanted to share four easy camping dinners that can be cooked on the BBQ. We are going one up here from the basic sausages but all these meals just need a BBQ!
Wondering what to buy the kids this Christmas? Here are some of the hottest toys for Christmas this year…
Need some kids birthday party ideas? Bluey is every preschooler’s favourite TV show it seems! Taking over the ever popular Peppa Pig, Bluey, on ABC Kids, is a toddler celebrity. She is a six year old blue heeler who lives with her Mum, Chilli, her dad, Bandit, and her little sister Bingo. Every episode is around seven minutes and is entirely play and imagination based.
Bamboo is a magical fibre and I love it! These days I just want everything in my life to be made from bamboo. It’s soft, washes well and it’a sustainable fibre that is hard wearing and great for the environment. Here are 10 reasons to swap over, plus I want to share my favourite products with you. Come and join the comfy club!
We love the film Billy Elliot so we were super excited to go to the opening night of Billy Elliot the Musical at the Lyric Theatre.
