School Holidays - week 2

 We enjoyed more beautiful weather during the second week of the school holidays.

We also fit in a city staycation, a visit to the aquarium, a boat ride on the harbour, catch up with friends and had soccer starting again. We'll start next term feeling refreshed and relaxed!

2021 - So far...

 We've been soaking up the holidays, enjoying our time together before work and school commitments start again. The mornings have been slow. Some days we stay at home and swim, play pool and I potter around moving furniture and decluttering cupboards. Other days we venture out to the beach, bowling or rock climbing and either lunch or dinner out. I love this time of the year when we can break from routine and just go with the flow. How have your holidays been?

Some gorgeous summery photos to celebrate the end of our summer holidays.

We are back into routine tomorrow with the start of school but we will be trying to hang onto that relaxed summer/holiday vibe for as long as possible

Rae's on Wategos - Relaxed Glamour

Whenever we are in Byron Bay we always take a drive past Wategos Beach on our way up to the lighthouse. One building you can't help but notice is Rae's on Wategos a boutique beach hotel nestled amongst the trees right by the beach. It has always been on my list of places to visit but I've never had the chance as I think it is a place better appreciated sans kids. 

As I was flicking through the latest issue of Real Living magazine I noticed that Rae's had been given a makeover. I am loving the new relaxed beachy glamour. I can't get enough of the neutral tones and use of different textures. It's just stunning! I love that the hotel has retained it's own style and hasn't succombed to the traditional beach look.

What do you think?

Seeing these pictures definitely makes me want to stay.

Have you been to Rae's?
