I’m very fortunate to review some innovative unique products and the ClicMat is definitely one of them. Do you find yourself outdoors wishing you had a picnic blanket to sit on? This happens to us all the time. Visiting the beach last minute, there’s no picnic tables and the grass is damp. There’s nothing worse than having to walk back to the car with a wet patch on your pants! And let’s face it sitting on a picnic blanket is way more comfortable than sitting on the grass itself. We have found a solution for this problem – ‘the truly portable picnic blanket for Mums’ – Oimmie Portable ClicMat ..read more

After weeks of rain our family was pumped to finally hit Raging Waters Sydney, the biggest water park in Sydney! My boys have been obsessed with waterslides ever since we found a few big ones on our recent interstate travels. Once they heard about Raging Waters, they were desperate to visit before the cooler temperatures arrive. Surprisingly it took us only 45 minutes to travel across Sydney to Prospect where this massive water park is located. You can see the rainbow coloured slides towering above the trees before you get to the carpark. Currently you need to register a date to visit and pur ..read more

After 107 long days Sydney (and NSW) is coming out of lockdown. Some of us will be excited to hit the shops for a new Spring wardrobe and to sit down at our favourite cafe. Others will be a little anxious about returning to life after a lengthy lockdown and what this brings with it. Personally I really look forward to all of our freedoms returning but won’t be in a huge hurry to do all the things we’ve missed out on these past 3-4 months. I’ve been reading some tips on how families can best return to normal life after lockdown. I’m sharing the tips I plan to use over the coming weeks as New So ..read more

Since March last year we’ve had three lockdowns here in Sydney. As I update this list we are in week 12 of probably a 17 week lockdown with Spring school holidays about to begin. During this time as a stay-at-home Mum I’ve had to come up with endless activities for my boys. All 70+ of these activities are tried and tested by us. I’m sure your primary school aged boys will love them too. I hope this list helps you get through the remainder of this year. Then hopefully no more lockdowns after that (fingers and toes crossed!)   Keep your kids active now sport has been cancelled  1.  ..read more

I don’t know about your family, but managing our boys’ screen time can be a constant battle. During weekends and school holidays in particular screen time can easily get out of control. For our tween gaming online with his friends is a social activity. It’s not something I can or want to completely take away. So I decided to research the best ways to reduce and manage his screen time to a healthy amount per week. I started by going along to a Dr Kristy Goodwin (Digital Parenting Educator) seminar. She emphasised that us parents have to be in control of our boy’s screen time as they are not abl ..read more
