🌤 School holidays are here 🤗
Yay 🙌 The weather is clearing up and daylight savings starts on Sunday, time to get back out there! I don’t know about you, but this winter has been a tough one in my household, lingering bugs, uncoopervative weather and sadly a little girl with…
🌿🌳 Want more time in nature?🌱
I read something earlier this year about questioning yourself before committing to something, to anything actually. If your initial response isn’t a “Hell YES!” Then it’s a NO. 👉Thank you my girl Rachel Hollis. Because let’s face it we all have a lot on…
Stream crossings: the good, the bad and the ugly.
Stream Crossings can be so much fun, though generally speaking only when you get to the other side safely and with dry boots. On this tramp to Lane Cove Hut in Totara North, Northland, 14 of us, 7 adults and 7 children had to…
My Pinnacles Hut Adventure
The Pinnacles walk in the Coromandel is an awesome 2 day walk to take the kiddies on! It can be done in one day, but who doesn’t love a hut stay? I had been wanting to do this walk for so long, and finally…

Maungatautari – Sanctuary Mountain
This amazing eco sanctuary is a must explore. Its 47 km pest-proof fence has created a 3,400 hectare inland mountain island, where native bird life and forest has flourished due to the eradication of all mammalian predators. We spent just over 2 hours exploring the southern…
Waimama Reserve, Whiritoa- Barefoot👣
I rediscovered Whiritoa which is on the Coromandel peninsula, a few years ago, when I met up with some old school friends, who also have two boys of a similar age and a bach there. It is a great place to visit with the…
Time⏳⌚…What’s that? And where can I find more of it?
This year I have re-joined the world of being a working parent, you know, the world where you earn actual money, have grown-up conversations with other adults and get recognition for doing a good job. I’m really enjoying it so far, and I am…
