    April 15, 2022

    First birthday party themes are my favourite! It's fun to BEE one is a cute bee themed party for boys or girls to celebrate their bee-day! I loved incorporating the colours yellow, black and green, to remind people of a sunny field of flowers, abuzz with bees.

    ‘Teddy bear’s picnic’ First birthday party theme

    June 20, 2019

    This was such a fun party to plan, and the teddy bear picnic theme is perfect for a first birthday. With most children this age still crawling, toys on picnic blankets and cuddly teddy bears are perfect! This makes for a great morning or afternoon tea party, and the colours can be easily adapted to suit your taste.

Frascott Park is one of those places that gives yo Frascott Park is one of those places that gives you bang for your buck! With not one, but two playgrounds on site, a dog park, open fields and a pathway perfect for biking, there is a lot to do here. It’s no wonder then that this place is busy on weekends, but thankfully there is still a lot of space to spread out and enjoy the parklands. Accessed via Yodelay Street or Mattocks Road, the most popular part of the park is the newer Safari themed playground (located closer to the Mattocks Rd entrance). Here you’ll find two play structures, one for the bigger kids and one for the toddlers. The second playground is located closer to Yodelay Street and has been around for some time. While it’s nothing new and fancy, those with smaller kids might prefer this playground. With lots of trees around, it is shadier and a lot quieter, and everything is toddler accessible! There are plenty of bridges to climb and a slide to go down, a merry go round, swing set and spider net round off the equipment here.

Looking for a meaningful gift for your child at th Looking for a meaningful gift for your child at the end of their school days that costs very little and but will be something you all treasure? I’d read about this tradition on the internet somewhere, and knew that it was something I wanted to do for my boys once they started school. We’ve been going for 3 years now, and I wanted to share in case you want to start one too! While you could make it a surprise for them, I haven’t kept it a secret from them as I love them being able to look back at the messages any time they want! The Ultimate Graduation Gift is as simple as finding a beautiful book about graduating, growth, or being you, and having your child’s teacher(s) write a sentiment in the book at the end of each year. We plan on gifting this to our child at the end of Primary School, but you could keep going right through til the end of Secondary School, the choice is yours! The book we have is The Adventures You’ll Have, which is a customisable book from @hippoblue. The story specifically uses our child’s name throughout, which I adore. If you don’t have time to order a book, or are looking for something at a different price point, I’ve rounded up 9 other books that you could use. I always recommend doing this at least 2 weeks prior to the end of Term 4, to give your teacher plenty of time to do it (they’re usually very busy with report writing right now!). Find more details here: https://www.mrslardeedah.com/the-ultimate-graduation-gift/

@tartebeachhouse at Currumbin is the sister venue @tartebeachhouse at Currumbin is the sister venue to Burleigh’s Tarte Bakery, and located right alongside Currumbin Creek, beside the Currumbin bridge. This show stopper venue is without a doubt one of the best water side cafes you will find on the Gold Coast, and is super family friendly! Grab a table under the patio, or by the shade of the huge trees and Parisian-style black and white striped umbrellas. Enjoy all day brunch, coffee, cocktails and fresh juices, and specialty pastries, as well as a kids menu. For those with older children, they can easily head off to spend some time on the sand while you wait for your orders. For those with younger children, you might opt for takeaway instead, and bring your picnic blanket to sit on the sand by the creek. It’s a great spot for splashing around in the water, and would make a perfect mum’s group catch up – coffee, cake, and a paddle! On the other side of the small carpark beside Tarte Beach House, there is also a small and simple playground, but it all adds to the fun of a visit here.
