A weekend on the Central Coast

Living in Sydney it seems crazy that we had never spent a weekend on the Central Coast. I think in the past we’ve always headed to the Blue Mountains because it’s so different to where we live on the Beaches or to Canberra because we just love it there. This winter we decided to take […]

Our March & April Books

I’m so behind at the moment and now with a broken keyboard I’m only just getting this post out about our March & April Books. And we’re almost at the end of April. Of course as with all of our book lists, we had our favourites. My daughter picked and added her favourite to the […]

Sonic the Hedgehog

Dolittle is a great family movie, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dolittle (2020)

We thought Dolittle was just lovely. And I was a complete sceptic. I’m talking about the Doctor Dolittle movie staring Robert Downey Jnr released in 2020.
