Pittwater Mini Golf – the best putt putt on the beaches

Pittwater Mini Golf During the school holidays one of my favourite things to do is take my son to Pittwater Mini Golf. We have of course visited on weekends but mini golf with a three year old princess can swiftly become a nightmare. There are 2 courses of 18 holes all set within a pirate […]

The Newport – our favourite summer restaurant [UPDATED]

The Newport  The Newport is one of our local spots.  It’s not in our suburb and is 11 kms away but it is one of the places we feel most relaxed with our children. Although it is quite a way up the Northern Beaches, it is worth the drive!! When I look back to when […]

Sydney School holiday ideas 

Sydney School holiday ideas These Sydney School holiday ideas are tailored around junior school kids. Last school holiday nearly broke me, three weeks of school holidays.

Museum of Fire

There are hundreds if not thousands of playgrounds in Sydney, lots of which are written about and to be honest aren’t that great.

Nubo Alexandria – my favourite play space in Sydney

Nubo Alexandria Oh my gosh, Nubo Alexandria was everything I had hoped it would be. It’s pretty, it’s functional, it’s unique and it’s perfect for parents and kids. I’m not sure you get better than Nubo Alexandria. Maybe Nubo Chatswood will give it a run for its money.   It’s hard to pick what my […]
