I love supporting Australian businesses and talented female entrepreneurs, especially when they are work as hard as my incredible sister-in-law does. A mother-of-two and creative director of her own lifestyle accessories brand, Liz Archer is a constant source of creative inspiration.
We recently enjoyed a relaxing and rather wonderful weekend away in the Blue Mountains with my family. The Mountains are incredibly picturesque, with pretty little towns around every corner. We love our visits to the Blue Mountains, NSW and I've written before about some other things we've seen and done in the area here and... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite places in Canberra to escape to, while getting closer to nature, is the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times to be in Canberra and the annual Canberra Balloon Spectacular is a big reason why. This popular nine-day hot air ballooning festival is one of my favourite Canberra events. In recent years, when we lived closer to the launch site at Old Parliament House, we would walk...

I always thought I was a fairly organised person but becoming a mum has transformed me into a master of the fine arts of list making, packing and scheduling! Jealous much? Boring new abilities aside, being organised makes life ten times easier when you are juggling a baby, especially when it comes to travel. One... Continue Reading →
