Did you know I’ve put together Christmas 🎁 guides for both tween girls and boys? 🧑‍🎄 They’re on the blog now. Head to my Stories for the direct link to the tween boys post which I published today. There’s a link to the girls post in that post too or head straight to the blog. Happy reading and gift giving! 🎄 #ontheblog #giftideas #christmasgiftideasfortweens

Putting together a grazing platter is totally my thing, whether it’s for a late lunch for us (like in this photo), or when we have friends and family over. The latest addition to my platter are @snackablesofficial carrots 🥕who I’m happy to partner with - they’re delicious and crunchy and a healthy addition to platters, lunchboxes and for snacks in general PLUS they’re super easy and portable as they don’t need cutting or peeling. And, as you can see, the kids love them too 🥕 Have you tried @snackablesofficial carrots yet? #ad #snackablesofficial #snacks #healthysnacks #kids

I’ve been busting to put up our plastic fantastic Christmas 🎄 tree for weeks and will be doing it as soon as we get home 🏡 Have you put your tree up yet? Do you do it whenever or do have a set day/weekend tradition? Artwork by @beciorpin #coolyule #ohchristmastree

So lovely to take a stroll through the vines to see the sculptures 🏛 and have a wine tasting 🍷 at @montaltovineyard today. Here are a few of our fave pieces. #art #sculpture #redhill #morningtonpeninsula

It took about fifty takes to get a decent outfit shot today given the windy conditions. Head to my Stories for some of the outtakes 😆 Wearing @gormanclothing smock dress (current) with @freedom_moses_official slides from @elkthelabel #outfitoftheday #outfit #everydaystyle #showusyourgorman #gorman #colour #fashion #fashionblogger

The last time we visited Cape Schanck lighthouse,

The last time we visited Cape Schanck lighthouse, it was Cup weekend 2010 and I was in my first trimester with Mr 9. I felt so ill that I spent most of that long weekend in bed, but we ducked out to the lighthouse one day as an ‘activity’ with our toddler and preschooler. It was a cold windy day then and today, ten years later, the conditions were exactly the same despite the forecast of 25 degrees 😆#melbourne. Still good to be back though, and to see the rugged coast and smell that fresh, salty sea air 🌊 #flinders #morningtonpeninsula #capeschanck

I’m currently up to my eyeballs with the Windsors 👑 I finished season 4 of The Crown and watched a Lady Di doco last week and now we’re halfway through the doco series The House of Windsor. Anyone else #obsessed too? And so sad AGAIN about Lady Di 😢 #thecrown #windsors #thehouseofwindsor #ladydiana

It’s been nearly six months since our last dinner or lunch out on our own (although we have shared a date night with friends ❤️). It was a great pleasure to escape to the city for Sunday lunch on our own at @supernormal_180, one of our all time faves. Fittingly, we chose two of our fave dishes - lobster rolls 🦞and the kingfish, both of which were sublime, along with the crowd pleasing peanut butter parfait. Oh Melbourne, we’ve missed you so ❤️ #melbourne #japanesefood #yum #postlockdown #wheretoeatinmelbourne
