Just Another Winter Day

Today, we were lucky enough to have another beautiful winter day. As I near the end of my time in Melbourne, I thought it was time to take a last trip to my local Brighton beach, home to the famous beach boxes.


I`m gonna miss this place!

My Little Spiderman

Oscar has become obsessed with spiderman and will not move without his spiderman costume.

A way to curb my shopping

Last week Oscar and I went to the mall. Now for everyone who knows me, you know that nothing can come between me and shopping, that was until I became the nanny to a 3 year old.

Oscar the Fairy

The effects of having a girl nanny are starting to rub off on Oscar.

And just so were clear, he did this completely on his own without any ideas from me!

A 'Real' Parent for a Week

Over the next week I have the kids 24.7 as both parents are out of town on business. 1 day down, 6 to go!

Winter Solstice

Today is winter solstice here in Australia, meaning the shortest amount of day light and the longest amount of darkness. This means things can only look up from here!

Celebration Weekend

This weekend was a weekend of a number of celebrations. 1) The birthday celebration of my dear friend Sierrah, 2) the leaving celebration of my dear friend Sierrah and 3) welcoming the new au pair Taryn to Melbourne.

Saturday we headed into the city where we enjoyed a nice stay at the Hilton on the Park Hotel.

We then headed to the Crown Casino to enjoy a good evening, with some Casino worthy drinks.



Sunday we headed to Etihad Stadium to show our Carlton support one more time.

Carlton beat the Sydney Swans!

Then it was off to the Little Italy of Melbourne, Lygon St., to enjoy a nice dinner.

Overall, it was a great final weekend of memories with Miss Sierrah.
