You have to go see Wind in the Willows at the Sydney Botanic Gardens, it is brilliant. Brilliant! The whole family, including granny and grandad went to watch it and everyone loved it. I don’t know if it is the great cast, the hilarious performance, the gorgeous setting or the audience engagement that makes it […]
I have seen little signs for Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches for ages now. I had read a few posters but still had no idea what on earth it was. Until this past weekend when a librarian at Dee Why library took some time to explain it to us. We were handed a map, […]
This post focuses on how to visit the Australian War Memorial with Kids. While it may not seem to be a place to take kids, it does have a child friendly area and it’s great to expose kids to the significance of war memorials. It’s also a great activity for rainy days. One of the […]
We just went bouldering on the Northern Beaches and it was AWESOME. If you’ve seen the pictures on Instagram or Facebook, you’ll know how much fun both kids had. I was really unsure of the whole experience because my youngest isn’t the most agile. Our last experience like this was not a great success, she […]
We’ve been listening to the Frozen 2 audio book for a while now. A very long while… Thanks Big W for that! So after listening to it 4 times three days before we went to watch the actual movie I started panicking about how scary it would be. Little did I know that it would […]
There is a great great new Artarmon playground in the Artarmon Reserve. Set over two levels it’s really big and has a lot of lovely features. The only downside is that it isn’t really an all-inclusive playground which we have come to expect of good playgrounds in Sydney. We were lucky enough to be invited […]
Can you believe I’ve already started thinking about Christmas Presents for Kids? It felt like just yesterday that we were doing Halloween and the week before that was Easter. I really don’t know where this year has gone. I don’t recall having done a Christmas Presents for Kids Gift Guide last year I think it […]
Spot it! is one of the best games that we’ve ever received without knowing anything about it beforehand. Yes, my kids have been given great games in the past such as Mouse Trap and Operation. But either my husband or I knew about the game beforehand. Spot it! was completely new to us and a […]
This post is all about new Waitara Park Playground, the inclusive enclosed playground on Sydney’s north shore. It’s so good to see so many playgrounds that are being improved to make them accessible and enjoyable for kids of all abilities. The most exciting thing about this playground, aside from its accessibility has to be the […]
We’ve got some great October Books that I’ve hidden in the cupboard from my kids, waiting for this month to roll around.
Our October books include Where’s Wally Double Trouble, Emma Yarlett’s Beast Feast and Sophie Dahl’s Madame Badobedah. We’ve also got a new author with a completely different style in The Corner of my Eye. It’s a strange choice for us, both story and illustration wise but there was something about it that drew me to it.
