Easter Break - Byron Bay


Easter Break - Ocean Shores

If there is one place I would love to move to in this life time it would be the Tweed Valley on the New South Wales northern coast! I love this place!

Why Am I not living Here?
I am married to a Proud Queenslander who refuses to live anywhere but right here in the sunshine state.

Lucky I have a wonderful aunty who just happens to share my love and passion for the coast and has been settled at ocean shores for quite a many years now, and we are so darn lucky to be able to visit as much as we want or able to.

We packed up the car and the kids and headed off down to Ocean shores for a quick getaway from the hussle and bustle and exhaustion from moving house. we desperately needed a break to recharge and liven our spirits again and what a better way than with family at the beach?

As soon as we arrived the children were eagerly begging us with their pleas of " Can we PLEASE go to the beach now?" It was great to catch up with the cousins and together we all headed down to the beach.


We spent the night watching the moon rise up over the horizon
It was so gorgeous.



Being from the city  the children were mesmerised by the fact
that people were lighting fires on the beach right next to us, They kept asking me if they were allowed?

I said they must be and then i asked them if they would like to make one?
there eyes widened and asked me If I was serious and I said " you bet " and then I sent them off
in search of firewood, and another started digging the big pit to hold our fire into.

I didnt get the chance to take some photos but I must admit it was the best night I have
had with my children in a lonnnng time.

 We toasted marshmallows!
We gave the children little pep talks about the danger of fires!
We cuddled and sat around the blazing fire!
 It was all the children talked about for a long time!

It ended way too soon but at least there is always next time!
