My son’s teacher asked me the other day how I was going after the birth of our third child. My answer was “Have you seen the tv show the Walking Dead? Well it’s a bit like that at our house right now”. I was referring to the zombiesque twilight that new mums dwell in…
Here’s a non-travel related children’s movie tip. For those of you that enjoy movie nights with your kids – hire the 1986 classic Labyrinth. This Jim Henson, pre-CGI spectacular features all manner of Jim Henson puppets and an outrageously camp, spandex clad David Bowie as the film’s villain. Set within a fantasy hedge maze…
I feel a little shy about introducing our newest family member – currently 12 days old via a blog. Many of you that follow us on Facebook have already offered your congratulations on the birth of Little Lady Bub. I know however that there are some good folk that follow this blog that will be…
With a list of pregnancy complications as long as my arm I am not surprised to find myself reliant on a wheelchair for outings requiring me to be on my feet for more than a few minutes. My previous two pregnancies have finished on a similar note so I am cheered that my limited mobility…

I love road trips. Why? The sense of freedom they provide, and the ever-changing landscapes are just the start. The glimpses they offer into the lives of rural folk area are a bonus. Our kids have traveled thousands of kilometers of Australian and international highways with us. Of primary importance is their safety of…
I would not have suspected that a sophisticated dining experience with my two pre-schoolers was within my reach. Thankfully, the children’s themed high tea at the Langham Melbourne, (which by the way is a treat and a half for parents and kids) changed that. During school holidays Melba Restaurant at the gorgeous Langham Melbourne hosts children’s themed…
