Winter is over, Spring is here!

Another month has gone by, another month of sickness and motherhood. I seemed to have caught some kind of nasty virus which stayed with me for a good 4 weeks if not more. Winter colds are never fun, especially not when you can't get a break from being a stay-at-home mum!


My husband and I, however, did manage to escape the cold for 4 days without the kids to a beautiful place in Queensland called Heron Island. We snorkeled with the beautiful fish of the Great Barrier Reef, saw a handful of green turtles and reef sharks, and were even lucky enough to witness some Humpback whales go past as the sun was setting one evening!

But alas, winter is over (hopefully the worst of our sicknesses are over along with it!) and spring is here! Spring...my favourite season, flower season. I haven't yet been able to enjoy the beautiful fragrance in the air that you are met with when you are out on a walk on a warm spring day but I'm looking forward to soaking up the balmy spring sun and checking out the beautiful gardens in the neighborhood as the days warm up over the next couple of months. What's your favourite thing about spring?
