I’m behind as usual because, well, kids. The other weekend Andrew took a few days off of work and we road tripped with the kids to Mildura. While this is not a normal destination point we were going there for the wedding reception of our friends Liv and Rod. Rod and I worked together at … Continue reading Strategically placed emus, an offer to fly and a wedding
Just a quick catch-up from last weekend before our next adventure begins. As you can see from my previous post we did another big hike Saturday morning, this was followed by a trip to the Highland Gathering. I love how much happens in Canberra, we’re always finding something new to check out. … Continue reading Scots, swimming and sunny days
We didn’t make it out on a hike last weekend as Andrew had the flu so we were keen to go out this morning. We explored part of Urambi Hills, its visible from Andrew’s work so he was curious to check it out. We didn’t hike as long this time, an hour and a half, … Continue reading Explorers: Urambi Hills, Canberra
It’s been quite a rainy and miserable few days this long weekend, added to that Andrew has the flu, Ev is going through a growth spurt and Izzy’s teeth are driving all of us crazy so we kept it fairly quiet.

Andover, New Hampshire has turned a corner with the opening of Tarte Café and Bakery. The cafe brings the town to the edge of trendy and I have to say we were not disappointed to give it a try when visiting my family this summer. Being in town for a month meant that I got … Continue reading Tarte Café and Bakery – A review
I’m sure this will come as a big surprise to everyone but international travel with two kids is exhausting, as is a holiday in general with two kids and we kept ours jammed packed until the last. Our last weekend in the states was set aside to give three generations of friends time together. Friday … Continue reading The end of summer
So it appears Andrew left and I slacked off so we’ll do a whirlwind catch-up. Last Monday Mom and Dad joined us to hike Mt Kearsarge. We used to hike it almost every summer when I was growing up, and while Ev was probably a bit too young for it and it took a whole … Continue reading Outings abound
