~FREE ENTRY TIL 5 DECEMBER~ David Fleay Wildlife P ~FREE ENTRY TIL 5 DECEMBER~ David Fleay Wildlife Park is a great little hidden gem tucked in between Burleigh Heads and Tallebudgera Valley. While it's the lesser known wildlife park on the Gold Coast, its undertaking some extensive renovations in time for the Christmas school holidays that will make it a very popular destination! The crocodile enclosure is getting a huge revamp, and the cafe is turning into an event space. While this means a large chunk of the park is closed, the team at David Fleay's are still hard at work and have made it FREE to visit!! Check out the Nocturnal House, koalas, various species of wallabies, cassowaries, dingoes, emus and kangaroos. There are reptile shows and animal feedings to watch as well. The mangrove boardwalk is a great pram friendly stroll too. We visited and spent a bit over an hour there. A tip would be to ring and check if the kangaroo feeding is open before you visit. It's a very low lying area and after rain it is very boggy, so it was unfortunately closed today. We can't wait to head back when the renovations are complete, but in the meantime it was a fun little FREE family outing! #goldcoastmums #goldcoastmumsandbubs #goldcoastkids #kidfriendlygoldcoast
Cupcakes, freakshakes, burgers, kids corner... wha Cupcakes, freakshakes, burgers, kids corner... what more could you want from @kyliescupcakery? Kids eat free you say? Consider it done (on Wednesday's at least 😉). At Kylie’s Cupcakes and Restaurant, you’ll find freakshakes, burgers, wings, popcorn prawns, breakfast meals, kids combos, cakes, cupcakes, macarons and more. Kid’s Eat Free every Wednesday, 1 child (under 12) gets a free kids combo for every adult meal to the value of $14 or more. You can also purchase a kids combo any day of the week for $8.50, including a hot food item, fries or veggies, apple juice and mini cupcake. There is also a gated kids corner at the restaurant, meaning once the kids have had their mini cupcake, they can leave you in peace to enjoy your cupcake and freakshake!
Monday morning is here again, and I'm running arou Monday morning is here again, and I'm running around like a mad woman trying to restore some order to the chaos at home after the weekend. If anyone has any tips on how to get your 3.5yo to pick up after themselves, send them my way. You can tell where he walks by the trail of destruction that follows 🤦‍♀️ #mummydiaries#mondaymotivation#quoteoftheday#motherhoodquotes#lifewithkids#qotd
A trip to Fiji sounds lovely right about now, but A trip to Fiji sounds lovely right about now, but probably isn't on the cards for a while. Luckily, I've found the next best thing, and you can visit Mon-Sat! @kokomogoldcoast recently opened up in Coomera and while dining there over the weekend, we couldn't get over how much it felt like we were on a tropical island! Tucked away inside the BoatWorks precinct, Kokomo has a picture perfect spot with a sandy shore, lush green grass, palm trees and an old boat right there on the dining deck. Kids are welcomed, with a kids menu and plenty of easy access for them to have a run on the grass. You can even have your coffee out on the grass with the kids if you wish! Open Mon-Sat for breakfast and lunch, the food was delicious, atmosphere relaxing and we loved this quirky little tropical oasis.

🎶 I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the 🎶 I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again! 🎶 This type of rain is the kind I love. All through the night, a good soaking to get everything green again, and on a weekday- so our weekend adventures aren't interrupted!! Looks like the sun is shining out this afternoon and we can expect sunshine tomorrow for the midweek hump. Unfortunately our adventures tomorrow are only to the dentist 😬 but I've got some tips coming on great free or low cost week day fun for those with little ones at home... stay tuned!

This kid is smashing through his @mybaby.organics This kid is smashing through his @mybaby.organics baby food this month!! Not only is he enjoying moving up to the 6mth+ range (hello beetroot, lentils, cauliflower and kale), but we've also found a new use for the recyclable pods they come in! Building up towers and smashing them down just as fast as his last bowl of dinner 😋 Still loving the convenience and range on offer, and I've been getting adventurous mixing flavour combos (mixing faves with not so faves definitely helps get it all down!). He loves anything mixed with pear or sweet potato! What's your babe's favourite food? #kindlygifted
I'm often asked my thoughts on the Pirate Park at I'm often asked my thoughts on the Pirate Park at Currumbin, and while it is arguably the most popular park on the Gold Coast, I'm actually not a fan. I know, controversial right! The location is incredible, but the crowds and the playground design make it not so toddler friendly in my opinion. So you can imagine how excited I was to find out that after 10yrs of operation, it's getting a major upgrade which will cater for all ages!! Starting sometime at the end of this year, works should take about 5mths to complete. The new design will maintain the popular pirate ship theme and provide a variety of different play opportunities and experiences for a range of ages. How amazing does this look!! #goldcoastmums #goldcoastkids #goldcoastmumsandbubs #kidfriendlygoldcoast
If your kid is anything like mine, he loves to run If your kid is anything like mine, he loves to run, jump, bounce, flip and tumble all the time. When we were invited to come along and check out @delta.gymnastics GymKids program, I knew we had to say YES! Located at St Hilda's Sports Centre on Whitby Street in Southport, GymKids is a program especially for children aged 18m-5yrs. Every few weeks there is a new theme based program designed to teach your kids how to move in a safe way. When we visited, the theme for the week was Under the Sea and the children got to engage in imaginative play with pirates, mermaids, crabs, ships and all things ocean related! Jumping in the huge foam pit at the end was also a lot of fun 😜 The themes really are what made this program stand out for me. The kids were so engaged with the Coach and it made what would otherwise be "boring" instructions and movements relatable. Some of the recent themes they've had include Dinosaurs, Teddy Bears Picnic and Left & Right just to name a few. Classes are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with times varying depending on ages. There are flexible payment options too, allowing you to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Classes run all year round (no school holiday breaks) and there are unlimited and flexible make-up class options. #invitedexperience
