Please Don’t Take This Away From Me
byTracey is in two minds about me sharing this little window into our life. She worries it might show us in a poor light.
Please Don’t Take This Away From Me
Tuft Love
byIf I came home with a head like Tracey’s just given me I’d be unhappily married until my scalp was hidden again.
Bad Habits
byWe’d been parked in the driveway of friends for a few days and since with their mob of nine there were fourteen kids running about – or more specifically hanging about in our bus playing – finding a couple of hours of peace to focus on writing has been difficult.
Pardon My French
byWow. So much wow. Wow for the boat ride. Wow for the dad joke banter of the captain and his crewmate. Wow for the seal colony. Wow for that seal colony smell. And wow for seeing my kids finally silenced.
We’ve Gone Too Far
byOne of the wonderful things about this big lap lifestyle is watching our kids progress from being afraid of dirt on their hands to wading into a creek. On the other hand…
This Sucks!
by“The worst thing in the world has happened,” came Miss8’s emotionally charged whine from the back seat of the car. I had my doubts.
Kid’s Stuff
bySadly, we don’t need Child Care Benefits and Child Care Rebates at the moment. Well, somedays we’re sad about it. Point is there are some changes coming for government assistance and they’ve sponsored me to broach the subject on my blog. To be honest I think it’s looking pretty positive all around, but see what you think…
You’ll Never Guess
byMiss6 was obviously looking for something when she poked her head into the kitchen. No, not something. Someone.
Plus our first look at Port Arthur!
Why I Need To Watch My Step Around Here
byRaising five girls can be hard. And occasionally painful.
Night Moves
byI’ve generally enjoyed the great outdoors at night. Those days are over.
There’s The Best Laid Plans…And Then There’s This
byThis day did not go to plan.
Also in this post: Scamander, St Helens, Bridestowe Lavender Farm, Bay Of Fires & Binalong Bay, Blue Tier Blueberries, Reliquaire, Hawley Beach
That’s The Spirit
byOne of the things I wanted more of before today was photos of the ship and what it’s like, so the kids and I took a heap on our phones and I’ve uploaded them here.
Dipping Our Toes Into The Water
by“Your turn,” said Tracey. I asked why. “Because I have boobs.” Check + mate.
Plus our adventures on the Great Ocean Road.
Jump On The Baby Train
byBucking historical trends, we rather wonderfully didn’t have a baby this year. You?
My Nice Ice Queen
byI know men are typically expected to control the remotes, but that doesn’t happen like that on the bus.
As well as my latest anecdote, I’ve included a video of me getting the car onto our trailer, and photos from Port Fairy and Warrnambool
