Have you ever had a dream of a place that you have never heard of before only to find that the place really exists? Last night I dreamt that my dad had gone to the shops to buy some milk and he rung me to say that he bought a log cabin in the mountains. For some reason, he kept saying "I'm going to live with the pigeons." When I woke ... Read More

I meant BrisVegas!" BrisVegas is the tongue-in-cheek nickname given to Brisbane, Queensland because ... Read More

It's 10.35am and the babes are all dressed ready to go into the city but I'm still in my pajamas, having my breakfast. I have no idea what time they got up but it was ridiculously early! We've organised to meet up with some friends at the Outer Banks, which is what some of the locals have nicknamed the breakwall. It should be a good day. The sun is shining ... Read More

It's Australia Day tomorrow and as long as the weather is fine, we're going into the city to join in the celebrations. Every year, there are stalls, rides, lots of food stalls, sand sculpture competitions, entertainment and a fireworks display at the end of the night. It's always a great day out and the babes have a lot of fun. This year, my dad and stepmum have decided to hold an Australia ... Read More
