Kirsty....

She was so happy, she couldn't stop laughing.  It was a beautiful
sight, watching her shine....



 

It was worth going all that way, just for that swim!

Straddie Island Vibe Festival.....

Hi there everyone.  We are back from the our weekend away at
the Island Vibe.  It was such a fun and busy weekend, scooping gelati
and listening and dancing to someone beautiful music.
Festivals are such a great place to hang out, the vibe is always
so happy and chilled.

 

 

We got slammed at the gelati stall, and were so tired on the
Sunday, but it was good fun, and everyone is so polite, and happy
to get their gelati fix!

Koo, Kirsty and I spent three days laughing.  I had sore tummy muscles
from laughing that much, and some new catch phrases were coined...
(packin' death, it's not rocket science), ha ha

Koo multitasking....!

 

 

There was lots of love to be seen and had!

Kirsty coped very well considering this was the first time away
from her babies!.  There was lots of talks on the phone..

 

 

And a lovely friend opened up his doors for us and we
got to spend a night in his beautiful island home, thanks Des

And now it's all over....it's such a whirlwind to the senses when you
go away and have an amazing time.  It takes a while to
come back down to reality, especially when you go from
being surrounded by people and stimulation...and then retreat back to
the quiet world that is my home in the bush.  It's hard to know
where to place your mind.  It's just been through such a contrast
from the norm.  I am going to heed the words
of the lovely Linda Rago, (straddie beach yoga) and
take the time to just be still...breathe... and open yourself to all that
is around you, the world really is a beautiful place, and I will find
my place in it.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend also x

South Ballina....

Hi everyone....well holidays are over again and it's back into the daily
grind.  It always takes me awhile to get out of holiday mode.
We had a very relaxing time these holidays, and I even got to
spend a few child free nights with Nita up in Brisbane. We worked out it was
basically the first time we had spent any quality, not mumsy, time together
without any children, in about 18 years!!.  We had a grand time.   It's amazing
how different it is to have conversations without noise and interruptions!. 
We were very lucky to catch up with them again in Ballina, just for a night,
as we were on our way home after purchasing our new camper trailer!!
(yes, very excited about that one, I will post some pics soon).
So here are some photos of our (brief) day on the beach at South Ballina.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ballina Village Park is a great place to take kids by the way....
We even got to see live music, and they have a great Kiosk and heaps of
things for the kids. Put that on your holiday list....x
