Kids on the Go! The Wildlife Habitat – Port Douglas, Australia
Possibly THE best place to take your kids in Port Douglas, Australia, is the Wildlife Habitat. We are bursting with wildlife here in the tropics, you’ll see lorikeets, fruitbats, and the occasional cockatoo flapping about. You are very likely to see a giant green tree frog hiding from the heat of the day or climbing your window at night. You may even get lucky and see a wild python or wallaby. But the kids always want … Read entire article »

Australia – Lamingtons
If you’re familiar with our “Around the World in 12 Dishes” series, then you’ve probably noticed that we have a bunch of sweetteeth in our family and more than once we actually had the dessert recipe picked out way before figuring out the main dish, go figure… For Australia it was the same deal, when we researched I stumbled over a website called AllDownUnder.com and a couple of typically Australian recipes, one of which was … Read entire article »

Australia – Dot art paper plate turtle
This month “Around the World in 12 Dishes” Is going down under. Food wise all was good but craft wise I was totally uninspired, so I asked the group of mommy bloggers I’m part of and they came up with TONS of ideas. One that stuck with me was the Aboriginal dot art, because Nico loves to paint. Obviously at almost 3, I didn’t expect him to produce the same kind of art but we … Read entire article »

Australia – Sausage Rolls
When thinking about Australia, you don’t really automatically think about food first. And even when you think of food – the only thing coming to mind is the roasted iguana reference from the “Crocodile Dundee” movies, so not a big help either. So while doing research (all the time keeping in mind that it should be something that Nico could help with AND have some sort of potential that he is also going to at … Read entire article »

Kids on the Go – Featherdale Wildlife Park (Sydney, AU)
We accidentally found this park. We had just moved from Tacoma, Washington to Sydney, AU and were visiting our two Pugs at the quarantine station. The station was quite a trek from the city and due to some health issues with one of my Pugs, we had to visit the station daily and twice a day on weekends. So, we decided to spend the weekends near the station so we would not have to spend … Read entire article »
