Feeling grateful for another Christmas with our Gracie. From our family to yours, Merry Christmas to those celebrating. Hopefully you’ve got a beautiful day ahead. 🎄

I often reflect that Christmas is a polarising time of year where grief and loss feel amplified. So if you’re missing loved ones, grieving and struggling to feel the magic this year, please go easy on yourselves. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to our number one.
We love you. 🥰 😍

Tokyo Station at Golden Hour with my faves 😍

Throwback to our last day in Tokyo when we took Gracie to
She started off a bit overwhelmed, but after a couple of hours, she was riding the Carousel, hugging Minnie Mouse and loving life.

We’re going to miss the views of the “Choo Choo trains” from our window at the but it’s time to leave.
Honestly, if you’re looking for near flawless accommodation in Osaka then this hotel is where you want to be. It’s in Namba, so a very short walk to all the amazing food and vibrancy of the Dotonbori and surrounding shopping streets.
The hotel staff were so welcoming and accommodating, absolutely spoiling Grace with treats and smiles. Nothing was too hard or unsolvable.
Our only hiccup was Grace not being allowed in the pool as they restrict usage to kids 6 and up, which wasn’t clear to us at the time of booking. The pool was a major reason for us booking the hotel, so definitely a disappointment, but the staff did their utmost to make up for this.
It definitely was an interesting learning curve as many hotels in Japan have restrictions on kids using the hotel pools - something we didn’t know about! From now on, I’ll always call the hotel to confirm pool access prior to booking when travelling with kiddo in tow.

An autumn day with my girl. While Dad shops, we play in the leaves!

Happiest of birthdays to this guy.
My one and only, my personal chef and Dad-extraordinaire.
Matt, we love you more than we could ever express in an Instagram caption. Keep being you, forever. Which coincidentally is how long we will be loving you for. ❤️

As our very warm Autumn in Sydney cools down and we draw closer to winter, I’m dreaming of the whitewashed town of Ostuni in the Puglia region of Italy.
What I wouldn’t give to be strolling those bright white alleyways and taking in this view again.

This kid is definitely a fan of Easter. From first tastes of chocolate, to a love for bunnies, Grace’s second Easter was a whole lot of fun. Here’s hoping yours was too! 🐣❤️

Saw a few people using this trend as an alternative to New Year’s Resolutions and loved the idea.
Obviously my number one goal is to be the best mum to Gracie, but I’ve also realised it’s important to carve out time (where I can) for myself.
That might be as simple as getting to the gym, taking a walk or practicing some self care - like a face mask or a haircut!
Of course, I’m also excited to see what travel in 2024 brings. Having a little one definitely means more planning is involved, but our mammoth Euro Trip in 2023 proves that Gracie is a born traveller! 🩷

Here’s your sign to book a trip to Italy’s magical Puglia region.
The little hilltop village of Locorotondo might not get as much love as its nearby friends Alberobello and Ostuni, but, oh wow,does it warrant a visit. 🤩
One of my favourite things to do in Europe is wander through the laneways of the old towns and Locorotondo has the perfect maze of quaint, decorative alleys to get lost in.

Here’s your sign to visit Lecce, the gorgeous baroque city in Puglia. Often called the Florence of the south, this lovely city is full of history and even boasts a Roman Forum in the town’s centre that dates back to around the first century AD. This amphitheater remained undiscovered until the 1900s! . Just an hour’s train ride from Monopoli, Lecce is an easy city to visit on a day trip, but there’s also plenty to entice a longer stay! . #romanamphitheatre #lecce #ilovepuglia #visitpuglia #visitlecce #pugliadaytrips #explorepuglia #girlswhotravel #familytravels #southernitaly #historicaltravel

Five reasons to visit Monopoli in the Puglia region of Italy 🇮🇹: 1. The Adriatic seaside - a mix of rocky and sandy beaches perfect for sunbaking (in my case sunburning 🤦🏼‍♀️) or swimming 2. The seafood - Puglia is home to some of the freshest seafood going around and Monopoli definitely showcases this in their wonderful restaurants. 🦞 3. The white-washed old town. Need I say more? This dreamy white town is the stuff dreams are made of. 4. The town’s churches are fascinating, particularly the purgatory church of Chiesa di Santa Maria del Suffragio where mummified remains are on display. 5. The stunning Monopoli Harbour where fishing boats line the waters and you can grab a takeaway spritz for 5 euro and watch the world go by! . #visitmonopoli #ilovemonopoli #ilovepuglia #visitpuglia #pugliagram #puglialovers #australiantraveller #cntraveler @visitpugliaofficial #girlswhotravel #familytravels #monopoliharbour
