Thinking of you if your kids are starting school t

Thinking of you if your kids are starting school this year (especially kindergarten, primary or high school), returning to school, if you’re returning to work, volunteering or study after the holidays and everyone else negotiating a new chapter this coming week. I know many of us haven’t had the summer holidays we expected or hoped for but here’s to recalibrating, new chapters and fresh starts. As @elizabeth_gilbert_writer often says, onwards ❤️ Artwork: @oliviaherrickdesign What’s new for you in ‘22?

Today’s #ootd: old school @gormanclothing (Urn Your Keep Sadie dress) and coral parent goshawk sandals from @baredfootwear with @hi_middle_child earrings for a quiet day capped off with a trip to the flicks to see ‘King Richard’ (loved it). It was refreshing to see the rain had arrived during the movie after a hot week! #outfitoftheday #outfit #showusyourgorman #gorman #fashion #fashionblogger #everydaystyle

Currently reading 🤓 My first non fiction book for 2022. What are you reading at the mo? Anything you’d recommend? #currentlyreading #book #bookstagram #reading #whattoreadnext #whattoread #bookrecommendations #books

Thanks to some hot days and a cheeky spray tan, I’ve trotted out some new and older @misterzimi 🌸 faves since I left iso last week. You can see I’m a fan of the Winifred dress (both tall and midi versions) for a relaxed summer vibe and Frankie dresses for a bit more coverage. If you’re a Zimi fan, what’s your favourite style? Did you pick up anything in yesterday’s drop? #teamzimi #whattowear #ootd #outfitoftheday #fashionblogger #fashion #outfit #misterzimi

Now this looks like summer holidays 😎🍹

Gosh it’s been a hot week but no complaints here as I frocked up for a post iso movie and dinner combo on a Saturday night with the crew 👦👦👦 Wearing the Heidi dress from @misterzimi in the Nassau print (current but sold out soz) with @baredfootwear peacock sandals from years ago and @hi_middle_child earrings. Anyone seen A Time to Die? #outfit #outfitoftheday #whattowear #ootd #everydaystyle #teamzimi #misterzimi #fashion #postiso #summerfashion

While it’s highly likely I’ll be back in #iso

While it’s highly likely I’ll be back in #iso sometime (hopefully not soon), I’m celebrating getting through a week of #iso caring for two CoVid positive kids (and a quiet week the week before as a social contact) and not getting 🦠 and yes, I’ve had two PCRs and done two RATs 🐀 over the last seven days to be sure. I’m also grateful that our boys’ symptoms were mild and they had each other for company in #iso. What a week. What a year. 2022, you’d better improve from here 🙏😬🤞🤪 #isolife #2022 #arewethereyet

There’s no doubt that pools are a big ticket luxury item but I can’t express how great it has been to have one these past two years, while in and out of lockdown and now in #covid isolation. The kids - especially our youngest - use it often between October and April and daily over summer - and it’s been a great social hub and space for both friends and family. Maybe we had an inkling back then we’d be home a lot in the coming years 🤔 🦠😩 The spa was an awesome add on, and we use it August to May, which is pretty awesome for Melbourne ☀️🌥❄️🌧 #home #lifewithboys #shenaniganscentral #isolife #summer2021
