Our Canberra Trip

 We took advantage of the long weekend and headed down to Canberra for a couple of days.

We played tourist on Sunday with a visit to Cockington Green (such a blast from the past!) followed by lunch at a cute pub and then a drive by of Parliament House on our way to our hotel.

The next morning we headed out to Corin Forest where the boys saw snow for the first time. Usually most of our holidays are beach related so this was a huge change. A chilly but fun one! They loved it and we will definitely venture to bigger snow fields in the future since we all had such a great time.

It was a quick trip but so nice to have a change of scenery and such beautiful scenery at that! The beautiful trees and landscape, the crisp air, the streams and creeks.... all stunning!

Here are some photos of our trip -

Long weekend vibes.

We just had the loveliest long weekend. 

It came at the perfect time when the extra day off was really appreciated! 

It was filled with a few of the boy's soccer games, lunches out, a browse through some nurseries which resulted in a couple of new plants coming home with me and a bushwalk at West Head.

The weather was perfect after a few days of rain in a row, it was great to be out and about in the sun.

I've popped up a few photos from our weekend .......

How was your weekend?

Hope it was a great one x

Long Weekend Vibes

We spent the long weekend at home enjoying the sun, lots of sport on tv and a trip to the beach.

I enjoyed pottering around the house, watching the boys make a few sweet treats in the kitchen,  and finishing off a couple of books. I've got a list 2 pages long of jobs that need doing in the garden and around the house but it was hard to get motivated. It was more a weekend for rest and relaxation.

Here are a few photos from the weekend.....

We were sent some gelato on Friday afternoon from Gelatissimo so that started the weekend off right.

Candy wonderland gelato with popping candy on top. The boys loved it!

The boys are loving being at the beach again although they are still wearing wetsuits in the water.

 Still a little chilly!

I couldn't resist buying another washed linen quilt cover from Adairs the other day. I have the linen in grey but I'm loving it in this chambray colour. It washes so well and is so comfortable.

We had a couple of sleep ins this weekend and daylight savings is throwing off the boys at bedtime. 

It usually takes a week or two for us to get back into our groove after the time change.

The boys made some white chocolate bark and a cake over the weekend.

 Mini marshmallows and sprinkles are obviously their favourite toppings ;)

Grand final weekend calls for a platter. 

We were going for the Swans on Saturday and the Sharks on Sunday. So happy Cronulla got the win!

Still so happy with my new rug. I'm loving the pops of colour it brings to the living room plus the pattern should be good to hide the dirt and wear and tear that the boys bring!

Mum brought me a few new crystals the other day. I'm looking for a white tray to set them up in but in the meantime they look very pretty here.

We've got another week of school holidays ahead of us which is great! Hopefully the good weather sticks around for us, it makes all the difference when you get be outside in the holidays.
