We had a lot of fun in January as we enjoyed Sydney’s New Year celebrations, celebrated two years living in Australia and the end of the… Read more

Wherever you are in the world the month of December is likely to be all about Christmas. We started the month by sharing a picture of our homemade Australian advent calendar; last year the chocolate in our advent calendars melted and we felt our boys needed to reflect a little more on the true meaning of Christmas.

The most successful non-chocolate treats we added to this year’s calendar were balloons, and we were pleased that the… Read more

It’s nearly the end of another year and we will soon be celebrating our second year in Australia. During 2011 we wrote about being settled in Australia and feeling happy with our decision to move to Sydney. We still have plenty to learn, explore and share about life in Aus.

Whenever we publish an article on the website we also submit a link to Facebook, in fact in terms of reader feedback and interaction it’s often more lively over on Facebook than on the blog. It’s much easier to leave comments and ask questions if you’re already in Facebook, that’s why we like it!

If you’re new to the… Read more
