Recently we visited The Golf Spot, Queensland's First Indoor Golf Centre. Located in Salisbury, Brisbane, our boys really enjoyed the variety of activities as well as being able to 'play' over 100 of golf courses from around the world.

While on our way to pick up our caravan from Melbourne, we stopped in at The CSIRO radio telescope, otherwise known as ‘The Dish’ that is situated 20km north of the NSW town of Parkes. The Parkes Observatory Visitors Centre has free admission and is a great place to watch the dish move. While we were there, we were able to see the Dish move twice: once on arrival and once as we were about to leave. In the Observatory there are many ...

When it finally came time to pick up our caravan, we were all really excited. After spending a week emptying and cleaning our house, we packed our car and left, heading for Melbourne. The first night, we drove all the way from the Gold Coast to Dubbo. We stayed in a budget motel for the night which was an experience. This is only the second time we have used budget motel accommodation and are still not used to the term budget. When they say ...

Write out a list of everything you would like in the caravan and then, if you need ...

!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD! We have just sold our house and are about to begin an amazing adventure. Let me tell you how it all came about. At the beginning of 2014, we started seriously talking about selling our townhouse. We were located in a complex and the body corp was just getting ridiculous. Also, we were starting to feel unsafe with a number of incidents happening that included police with search warrants, fireworks exploding in our ...
Encouraging a Love of Reading
This post make contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure policy.
I have been trying to encourage our boys to read books on their own. They will read short non-fiction books about animals or tanks or any topic they find interesting, but they wouldn’t read a novel. They kept coming to me and asking me to read it to them. I really do enjoy reading to them and will still do this, but I would like them to be able to pick up a book and read it themselves hoping to encourage a love of reading and some ...
