MOMENTS | School Holidays

The kids has two weeks off from school and it feels so nice to finally have Spring with us for this one! I can't believe how fast this school year has gone. It felt like yesterday my boy started prep and now it's not far away from the end of this school year! 

After a very productive weekend at home (we finally got to do that big Spring clean we had planned for so long) we got a chance to spend the afternoon in the sun. It will be so good when we can bring some lunch and just stay down on the beach all day. The water is still a bit too cold to be in so we were satisfied with a nice long walk and an ice-cream break at the end of it.  A pretty nice end to the weekend and a great start of School Holidays!

Moments | Coast Surfers










M wears: Obi Wan ponco by Mimobee / Top by Goatmilk / Leggings by Molo / Shoes by Vivo barefoot. D wears: Knit by Poppy Rose / Leggings by Soft Gallery / Top by Bonds / Shoes by Puma / Cap by Vans.

We feel like coast surfers, who roam the coast for the best spots in the sun. These are the days we cling on to when the school week have become too long or rain is poring down on us on our bikes. The fresh sea air, the warm sand and exploration of the cliffs - a chance to relax and kick back and just take in the view of the magnificent place we live in. This is Spring!

Moments | Welcome Spring!

We woke up to a bedroom full of light, and giggling as someone was preparing something in the kitchen. It was Sunday and Father's Day, and my best guess was that M was up trying to arrange a breakfast for her Dad. I looked at the clock on the bedside table and it glared back tiredly at me saying 7.30. Ugh! Too early, and probably not a good time to surprise the heavy sleeping Dad with a breakfast ala 7 year old. I must have dozed off again because a few minutes later I woke up with a jolt only to find M staring at me from about 3 cm distance to my face. A concerned look was on her face and she whispered that the milk was out. I sleepily walked out into the kitchen to see a tray filled with all sorts of fridge left overs. Mmmm... mandarin mixed with olives,  a bowl of slightly soggy cereal, a plate with some ham spread across, a bowl of peanuts topped with two cheezles eyes, and a glass of orange juice. The pride beamed clearly on M's face and I didn't have the heart to tell her that perhaps this wasn't the most appetizing morning meal. Instead we snuggled up in the couch and waited for the time to approach a more reasonable waking hour for Dad. While we waited I put the coffee on, threw  some croissants in the oven and added it to the tray (the rest he would have to pretend to eat ;) 

The morning continued with a bed breakfast for Dad, some exciting Father's Day presents from the kids and a discussion on where we should celebrate the day, which were shaping up to be a really nice and sunny day. We decided to head to a little bay not too far from us, which we had found a week earlier. There we had found some lovely cliffs, amazing little beaches and wonderful green hills. We bought food to bring, packed a bottle of rosé wine and lemonade and off we went. It was such a good decision because we had wonderful day there. For the first time in many months the kids could wear summery clothes without being cold and it truly felt like Spring has arrived for real. To celebrate the warmer weather the kids jumped into their new summer gear from Minti. I couldn't resist these outfits from their latest collection which I found at Buckets and Spades, and it truly was the best Sunday outfit!

We can't wait to have many more sunny weekends and hopefully the warmer weather is here to stay... I hope all of you who celebrated Father's Day out there got a good chance to spoil the Dads and have some special family time as well, we sure did.

Moments | Here Comes the Sun





D wears: Denim anorak by Esp no1 / Bird long sleeve by Bobo Choses / Beanie by Vans / Pants by NICO.NICO / Shoes by 10IS

The afternoon sun is magical, especially after a long, windy winter. When Melbourne dishes out sun, you grab it, every little ray! And then you have icy poles and make sure you eat it while the sun warms your cheeks. Then you run around so much that you get too warm for a jacket but not too cold to just wear a long sleeve, and right about then you can tell, that Spring is waiting around the corner.
