Hands up who's Caravanning this Christmas 🙋🏼‍♀️?!
It's certainly a great way to create unique memories with your family. We've shared some fun ideas & tips for spending Chrissy in your van in a recent blog post, as well as take a trip down memory lane to our very first Christmas in the van - how cute are our mini Blondies 🎄😍

Check our stores for the post link or head to our website to take a squiz 🎅.
...And wishing you all a Van-tasic Holiday Season, it's such a fun time of year 🙌😍.

How's the size on this whoppa!! It's by far the BIGGEST crab I've ever caught!! She's a massive 190mm across the shell & 130mm top to bottom, weighing 1.86kg!!
It was an exciting day on the boat for dad and I 🦀🤙

The novelty of an outdoor bath (or shower) never gets old... you can find this little beauty hidden between the banana palms at @the_peachfarm. Heated by fire it's lovely and warm and the perfect place to sit and watch the stars appear as the sun goes down 🌿👌.

They say it comes in three's and we certainly had it all on this trip - 1. A great campsite, 2. Great weather and 3. Great mates to share it with.
Poor Zig on the other hand, was hit with his own set of three, 1. He sliced up feet his feet on oyster rocks, 2. He stood up and hit himself in the eye with a tree branch (so lucky it wasn't his eye), and 3. He stepped on a stick which flung up and hit him in the chin!!! Poor little guy couldn't catch a break and was certainly in the wars but he 'took it on the chin' (pun intended 🙊) and soldiered on.
But seriously, how good are water front campsites.. we fished, we swam, we kayaked, we Sup'd, we spotted dolphins and we had non-stop fun, just what it's all about. Bring on more of this, it's such a great time of year 🙌

The kids are growing up so fast sometimes we wish we could freeze time and even flip-it and reverse it… we don’t want to miss a thing. Especially while they still think we are still ‘Cool’ haha!

You guys know we always like to be prepared and pack a few essentials for our adventures including water, a first aid kit and when needed - Nasonex Allergy, for those allergy sufferers to have on hand to prevent allergies is a must. Nothing will keep us away from our adventures and making these epic memories - yeeew!

And this guy ate all our Crabs!!! You can imagine our shock when we pulled up our crab pot to fund this huge Occy inside with a mouth full of crab!! Sneaky bugger, he went back with a happy full stomach 👍🐙.
Would you put him back or make him entree? 🤔

Crabs, magic shows and all round epic fun! We've had an awesome week in sunny Queensland doing all the things we love while visiting Robs folks. Just look at those faces, full of smiles 😁🤙. We love this time of year, it's all starting to heat up, so bring on more sun salty adventures 🙌

Happy 'University' to us 🥰🤠!!
We had an awesome time away celebrating in the bush with our close friends and these special little people + our fluff ball doggo 🐶. It's been an amazing ride, 17 years together ~ 12 of those in 'wedded bliss' 😉. It's so nice to look back at the adventures we've shared and the memories made and get excited for what's to come 🙌. Cheers to us 🥂.
*** and for those a bit confused University stands for Anniversary as our gorgeous kiddies called us one year while we were away to wish us a 'Happy University' so now the name has stuck 🤭🥰. #HappyUniversity

Guys, this 3 ingredient dinner will blow your mind 🤯🤩. It's super simple and YUM. Simply pop your Chicken, Rice and Stock in a backing dish and THAT'S IT 👊.
When my friend cooked this for me I was so impressed that I had to try it for myself and now we have it about once a week 😛🙌. Have you seen or tried this before?? Let us know 👇👇.

This guy hopped into bed late one night about 28 days ago and said

Red dirt, blue skies and bush tucker!! Is there anything better for an outback adventure?! 🤠🙌
This is literally 'the back O'Bourke' where I've spent many days exploring this week with my trusty bike and backpack full of gear.
On the menu today is last nights dinner, yummy Mexican con carne, corn chips and a hot cuppa tea!
All served up in my trusty Thermos gear which had no trouble keeping my bush tucker warm and ready to serve ~ and how cool is the built in bowl! 🍲👌

Now, the big question is, do you think there's yabbies in that dam?? ...I'm off to grab the traps.

Outback fun thanks to @thermos_au

So I did a thing ~ I taught my first 'Paint & Sip' Art Class this week, something I never thought I'd do 🎨🖌🥂. Sharing my art has been a bit of a quiet point for me. I keep it to myself and don't spend alot of time painting as I don't think it's good enough. But does that even matter? It was an amazing experience, everyone had the best time and created such awesome works ~ all in just 2hrs 👊🍄. I was blown away 🥰, and it's definitely inspired me to keep going with my art ( @tracyleeart ).
Have you been a Paint & Sip class before? It's great fun, definitely give it a go 👍. Big Thanks to @_kreativespacestudio_ for the opportunity 😘.

Yes that's a 💚 in the hill behind us 😍.
What a view huh, it was magic to wake up to this each morning and watch the cows fill the heart to eat 'Heart Grass' ♡🐮. We camped up on the hill and filled our days with little rowing adventures, swinging off this awesome jetty and exploring the surrounding bamboo forest 🌿. It's definitely worth a visit... ohh and the outdoor shower is HOT!!! Fires and pets welcome 👌 Save this post for later, it's called @footprintsinstyle and you can find it on @hipcampau 👣👊

Campfire Cake Hack 🔥
This was the perfect addition to our campfire party for Zigys 8th birthday. The boys make damper on a stick and cooked it over the coals, ran around in the dark with glow sticks and then we all sang Happy Birthday with this epic cake glowing flickering under the stars 🤩🥳👌.
