Schuster Park at Tallebudgera recently underwent a Schuster Park at Tallebudgera recently underwent a massive upgrade and is now a fabulous Jungle themed park best suited to children aged 4 and over. With a heavy focus on climbing, each playground piece has a number of climbing nets leading to slides, towers and platforms. A key feature of this playground are the two mega slides off the main tower. For younger children, there is a smaller version of the main tower, with a single platform and smaller tunnel slide to conquer. The playground is connected by a series of nature paths, with balance beams, jumping posts, sand paths and stepping stones all enticing children to explore. Schuster Park is set alongside Tallebudgera Creek and is part of a larger parklands. There is a small sandy beach beside the playground, that in summer time is bound to be popular with little ones wanting a splash so make sure to pack a change of clothes. There is also a toilet block right beside the playground!! Check out my full review including tips for this playground at the link in my bio!
Some more blowing practice today with these fire b Some more blowing practice today with these fire breathing dragons! How simple but effective is this craft activity from @one_little_project. Once created, your little ones can blow into the dragon to make it breathe fire! Save this one for those toilet rolls you've kept!
Hands up if your little one is yet to master blowi Hands up if your little one is yet to master blowing? 🙋‍♀️ He gets pretty excited about birthday's and had asked last night to make a birthday cake. So this morning during bub's nap I whipped up some cloud dough and pulled out some of my cake decorating bits. Cupcakes were decorated and we sung Happy Birthday over and over while he blew out the candles! I love it when he is practising a new skill without even realising 😉

Over the weekend, we revisted one of our favourite Over the weekend, we revisted one of our favourite Sunday drive destinations - The @tmbotanicgardens. The Sooty Owl Creekside Trail is a family favourite, with lots of hidden surprises to discover. Follow a rustic path that leads through a Creekside gully, past a crooked water mill and an owl cubby house, over a number of bridges and alongside lots of hidden creatures to be spotted. The Thong Gong sits in the middle of this special space, where visitors can create musical tunes that may even call the birds! After exploring Sooty Owl’s Creekside Trail, why not venture through the other garden areas or have a picnic by the lake. See the full review and details at the link in my bio. @visittamborine
My poor little babe woke up a bit congested yester My poor little babe woke up a bit congested yesterday 😭 dealing with bubs first sickness is never easy, we're just lucky he escaped the toddler germs until 13 weeks! I found the best #mumhack though, and had to share (swipe to see 👉). Have you ever been told "squirt some breastmilk up their nose" to help clear congestion?? Easier said than done! But I saw this tip and man, it works! Pry the top off your Fess Little Noses sprayer and pour some expressed milk in it. It keeps in the fridge for 3 days, and is so easy to squirt up the nose! I've been doing it before each feed today and there is hardly any congestion 🙌 Playing with the Kmart water sensory playmat... keeping tummy time interesting!
Rainy weather spoiling your last day of holidays? Rainy weather spoiling your last day of holidays? Here's an idea for a wet weather outing to wrap up the holidays with a bang! @artvo_goldcoast is Australia’s first immersive, ‘trick-art’ gallery, and is at @robinatowncentre. It’s great fun for the whole family and you’ll have so many amazing photos to share! The idea of ArtVo is to explore an interactive art gallery filled with trick or illusion art. You can be creative and come up with your own poses, or follow the instructions to set up your own fail safe shot. There are 6 different zones, each with its own theme (think Jungle, Under the Sea, Glow room…) and the artwork allows you to come face to face with wild animals, scale rocky crevasses and surf the ultimate pipelines. Read the full review at the link in my bio. Go at your own pace, but allow 1-2hrs depending on how many photos you wanted to take. Book your preferred time slot online at www.artvogoldcoast.com.au or purchase tickets on the day at our front desk. Online tickets come with priority entry, all day entry is from the time you arrive until last entry at 4pm.
