Its <a href="http://www.brc.com.au/">Brisbane Racing Carnival</a> and ANY chance my girlfriend Chelsea and I get to go to the races, we take full advantage of...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What girl wouldn't?? You get to drink lots of champagne, dress up and wear a fascinator....oh and you may even see some horses race! lol </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time Chelsea knew of a group of 40 or so lovely ladies that had planned a day at <a href="http://www.brc.com.au/carnival/qld-oaks.html">Doomben</a> for Oaks Day and we were able to join them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had an absolute ball, we all caught a bus in together but Chelsea and I spent majority of the day pottering around here, there and everywhere. We ended up getting free champagne, free tappas, free shoe inserts (for sore feet), we had a meet and greet with the stunning X-factor star Samantha Jade and even entered Fashions of the Field for some fun, in which by some fluke I made the finals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing we did without even meaning to do was enter a competition to have our face on a Billboard to promote the upcoming Stradboke Cup Day, and funnily enough we actually won. There were a handful of people chosen and we were two of them..hilarious!!! :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We placed a decent number of bets on the horses and won a total of $12!!! lol </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pics of the girlie fun we had track side....</div>

<br />Soooo, its that time again! The second birthday in our family for the year. This time Zac (middle boy) is turning 8! It took me all of 2 seconds to decide on his theme, he is super obsessed with bikes, skate boards and SCOOTERS! He was rapt when I suggested a party at an indoor skate park with his best mates for them to ride the ramps to their hearts content. I heard about a place called <a href="http://gccompound.com/">GC Compound</a>, I went to check it out a month or so before and thought it looked like an awesome spot for a party and my boys were totally impressed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Every year since my 3 boys were born I have thrown them a decent sized themed birthday at home and I have gotten a little tired of it the past 2 years, so generally now for the older boys I organize a party at a different venue and all I need to do is send out invites, take food and a cake and its done!! So easy :-) The boys love it and so do I, WIN WIN! </div>

Ever since I was a little girl I have always felt very emotional on and about ANZAC day and like to pay my respects and remember those whom lost their lives for our country during ANZAC day services. Each and every time I hear "The Last Post" it brings tears to my eyes. This year was the first time I have attended a dawn service, my family and I went to <a href="http://www.currumbinrsl.com.au/whats-on/read/anzac-day-2014/5684/">Elephant Rock, Currumbin</a> on the Gold Coast. Its such a beautiful part of the world and I was sure the service would be lovely.<br />
<br />
As people close to me know, I AM NOT a morning person and the thought of rising at 3:30am was a scary thought (lol) but I was so excited to join in the the commemorations it was actually easier than I thought it would be. Getting my boys to wake up was another story...they were sleep walking for the first hour of getting up! ;-)<br />
<br />
So, we went...along with around 20,000 other people. We found a nice spot up high on the headland, we had a big screen right near us to see the ceremony up close. With the amount of people, all being quiet and respectful it was such a "feel good" atmosphere on the beach, it was fresh but not a cold morning. </div>

It was a beautiful service and watching the sun rise over the beach, with a sea of row boats floating just behind the surf break {holding their awes up as a sign of respect} and the sheer mass of people there paying their respects was just perfect. I felt honored and proud to be an Australian. </div>

When the ceremony was over we took a walk along the beach, went down to Elephant Rock and has a play around the rocks and water. There was a group of Soldiers with their horses which we were able to pat and take photos. <br />
<br />
After this was over we went and met up with the family for breakfast. We went to a Cafe called "Paleo", silly "unhealthy" me thought that was just a name for a restaurant and had no idea about the Paleo eating craze..I couldn't find anything on the menu to eat so I ordered a "cup of tea" haha!! It was still a lovely way to finish off the morning.<br />
<br />
From there, we went back to our hotel for "40 winks" then headed out for the afternoon. We had planned on going to the Currumbin RSL for TWO-UP but unfortunately children are not permitted, so my husband went in and caught up with mates and I took the boys down to Surfers Paradise for some lunch, shopping and a play on the beach. We had such a fun afternoon. Hubby did well also, he came out from playing some two-up $300 in front! <br />
<br />
It was a fantastic day, one I will always remember and will definitely go back there for the Dawn Service another time. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My first ever time in Melbourne will be one weekend that I will never forget. My girlfriend Chelsea and I planned a 3 day girls shopping weekend in Melbourne, with both of us being mothers of just boys we occasionally crave "girl time". Well it didn't get much girlier than this, starting our trip with champagne, mani's and pedi's we jam packed as much as physically possible into our "time out". Sleep wasn't really on the agenda, so we literally shopped and partied till we dropped. It was the of the best times I have had in my life and completely fell in love with Melbourne City. </span></blockquote>

A dear friend of mine for many many years now Emma has spent a copious amount of years travelling and exploring the world...at times I have been so envious of her adventures...She eventually settled in Canada and around 2 years ago met the man of her dreams Jordan and she knew he was "the one". They were engaged to be married and were coming to Australia to wed. The destination was Noosa, as Emma had spent many years there holidaying with her family throughout her childhood and Noosa holds a special place in her heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were fortunate enough to have some special family and friends make the trip from Canada to celebrate their special day with their "Aussie" friends and fam and we were lucky enough to be invited also. It was one of the hottest days on record..around 41 degrees (I do NOT know how the Canadians coped coming from the snow to that?) but it was still the most magical day and it was such honor to witness Emma and Jordan share their vows and love for one and other. It was also lovely to meet her new extended family and friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pics of their beautiful day....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wishing them both a life full of love and happiness always xoxo<br />

I created some drama in our usually quiet street...2 ambulance, a fire truck. police and 3 tow trucks and street closure..even a radio announcement!!

Christmas Day last year was just a lovely relaxing day and our home. My Mum was up from NSW to spend it with us...my Dad and my sister and her family. We had a yummy lunch of cold and hot meat and salads and some seafood plus and very delicious dessert table selection. My brother and his family joined us later that night. The day was spent mostly eating, drinking and swimming...one of the nicest Christmas Days I have had in a long while. :-) xx</div>

There is nothing like soaking up Christmas atmosphere in the lead up to the big day in Brisbane City. Each year we take a ride into the City to look at the Christmas displays in the Myer windows and to see the big Christmas tree at King George Square. This year we had the added bonus of watching a lovely Christmas Parade through the mall and a magical lights display projected on the front of City Hall. Once the crowds settled after the parade it was a near perfect night watching the lights and sitting by the huge tree with my family. I enjoyed it so much that I went along the next night with my Mum and two nieces. </div>

It was the wedding of my husbands younger sister Bianca to her long time partner and father of her 3 boys Jon. Banks and Jon have so much love for one and other, they are an fun, adventurous and free spirited young couple and they have done so much with their 3 young boys in their time together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their wedding was on the NSW Central Coast. It was a casual affair (so very Banks and Jon) and was completely full of love. The ceremony was unlike any other I have been to before. It was on the beach and although there was a celebrant present to make it all official, they only words that were spoken during the ceremony were from Banks and Jon's closest (chosen) family and friends and themselves. What made it even more special was Bianca actually sang to Jon during the ceremony, it was beautiful. </div>

So, due to silly lack of planning we missed our flight and had to wait almost 6 hours for the next one. It wasn't the best way to start our weekend but at least we got to sit and relax in peace, which is a big change for us (mainly me!). <br />

Its the RACE THAT STOPS A NATION! "Melbourne Cup", whether you love to have a punt or just dress up...this is the day to do it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My two best girlfriends and I knew we wanted to celebrate the Melbourne Cup but couldn't quite decide how, we ended up booking a Luncheon at a local bar, <a href="http://www.elysiumlakeside.com.au/">Elysium Lakeside</a>. It suited us perfectly being close to home and its a venue we have had many a good time at. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fabulous day {although I drank FAR too much champagne}, the food was nice, the weather was great and we even had a couple of small wins on the sweeps. Here are some pics of the day, you will probably notice how much Chelsea, Kerryn and I love to dress up and somehow we always end up unknowingly wearing co-ordinated colours/outfits. lol </div>

WOW! What a Halloween we had this year!!! Each year Halloween is getting bigger in Australia & my boys and I are loving all the fun it brings. This year we were invited to a friends annual Halloween Party on the Friday night before, then we had "actual" Halloween "Trick or Treating" the Thursday after and THEN I was invited to another Halloween Party on that Friday night. So needless to say, there were lots of lollies consumed and a lot of dressing up in that one week. </div>

Here are some pics from our Easter Long weekend camping trip we took earlier this year. We loaded up the car with everything but the kitchen sick and headed down to Northern NSW to Yamba. We stayed at <a href="http://www.big4saltwater.com.au/">The Big 4, Saltwater Holiday Park</a>, it was 10 minutes out of town and on the river. It was the prefect place for families to stay. There was a pool, outdoor movies, jumping pillow, flying fox, children's activities and best of all a WATER PARK! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a really great time and will look forward to going back there another time. </div>

Another crazy thing I started up this year is "Pole Dancing". I started on my own, not knowing anyone at <a href="http://capalaba.thepolegym.com/">The Pole Gym</a>. Since day one its been nothing but fun! I have made such lovely friends and met so many wonderful girls in my time there. Its been really hard at times, sometimes very painful, have had COPIOUS amounts of bruising and it really has pushed me to my limits and through my whinging, moaning and "I can't do this'" I have loved every minute. </div>

The way it works is, you start on level 1 and over the course of 6 weeks (a term) you learn a choreographed routine. The routines involve various dance moves, spins and tricks, with each level the degree of difficulty rises. Somehow I have managed to make it to level 7 and am half way through it at the moment. The last level is 8 and then if you are ready and skilled enough you will be asked to join in the Graduates. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every two terms The Pole Gym puts on a Performance Night for us to showcase their routines to family and friends. There is a different theme each time and each level/group decides on costuming and the theme is always based on what performance the Grad's are doing. Its such a great night and its exciting to get together with your girls, have some fun and cheer each other on whilst watching all levels perform what they have been working so hard on over that past 3 months. </div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most people have the wrong perception about Pole Dancing, what we do is nothing like what "Strippers" do. Its all about fun and fitness and we don not take our clothes off. lol Sometimes we laugh at how unflattering some of the tricks and positioning we are learning can look and say "how could anyone think this is sexy"? lol We all feel like one big "Pole Family" and there is no discrimination, no matter what your age, size or shape. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures of tricks I have learnt so far and some fun that I get to have along the way. If Pole Dancing is something you have wanted to try but haven't, I say get out there and give it a go. Its such an empowering thing to do and your strength will really improve in the process...you will love it! </div>

For years I have wanted to get my boys into Nippers and now I finally have. A few ago my two eldest boys started Nippers, each Sunday we now head over to Coochiemudlo Island on a ferry for it. Its such great exercise, such an awesome learning experience and heaps of fun for them. Besides running after my cheeky 3 1/2 old the entire time, its a very enjoyable way to spend a sunny Sunday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coochie is a lovely little Island off Victoria Point. We have a few friends that have since joined up and now its even more fun. After the Nippers have finished up each week, everyone is invited back to the Clubhouse to relax a little and have a bbq. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend we stayed back all afternoon and soaked up the atmosphere, it was so lovely to sit back and watch the kids play. It was very relaxing and fun. I am certainly looking forward to what the rest of the season brings. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption">This year is the year for me to step out of my comfort zone. No sure whether its an age thing or what it is, but I have developed and new found confidence and love for new adventures. One of many things on my list was <a href="http://toughmudder.com.au/events/sunshine-coast-2013/sunshine-coast-2013-information-packet/">Tough Mudder</a> . I had big plans to train and be super fit and ready for it but that didn't happen. lol<br />
<br />
It was my husband, one of girlfriends Sheridan and I in our little team. It was at the Sunshine Coast on the Sunday. Well, I did it and it was FANTASTIC!!! Probably one of the best experiences of my life. It was fun, tiring, muddy, wet, painful and AWESOME!!! I had a couple of spills that you just 'had to be there' for which made it all the more fun, for around the next 3 days after my hubby and I were hardly able to walk or move without whinging from the pain but it was all worth it....<br />
<br />
Can't wait to do it all again next year, I am trying to rope some more of my friends to join in the fun. </td></tr>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago my family and I travelled around NSW on a road trip to visit my home town and surrounding areas. I decided it was about time we had some professional family photos done as we have not done this since my 3rd son was born, I knew of a talented photographer <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chontelle-Perrin-Photography/280705438630">Chontelle Perrin</a> in the country town of Young (my hometown) and organised a mini shoot with her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we live in Brisbane's Bayside and close to the Gold Coast most of the photos we have are by the beach/water, this time I wanted the complete opposite...I wanted winter/country style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favourites. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was pretty hilarious. Chontelle took us to her Fathers Farm for our shoot, there were some cows that seemed to be intriged with us...the boys ended up needing to chase them away and Chontelle said they never normally go near anyone. The boys loved it, its not often they get up close to farm animals. lol </td></tr>

My eldest son is now DOUBLE DIGITS!!! Can't believe my first born baby boy is now 10. I have given my boys a birthday party each year to celebrate their special day and they love it. Over the past 12 months my life seems to have gotten busier and with 3 young boys, a husband that works away and a busy home to run I am finding the whole birthday party at home a bit too much. The last party I had from my middle son was a Lego Party at Bricks n Fun (a Lego building centre) and it was a success for the kids and me. So whenever possible I will look for party ideas at different venues that include entertainment for the kids. This time I decided on going to Dracula's Theatre Restaurant on the Gold Coast as the do a show and birthday package especially for children, <a href="https://www.draculas.com.au/queensland/drax-4-kids">Drax 4 Kids</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I invited the kids over 1 hour prior to our departure for some morning tea (and to make sure no-one was late) and fortunately my husband had a work vehicle at home which happened to be a van big enough to fit all the kids in. I drove down with a couple of my girlfriends and hubby took a crazy, happy and loud group of kiddies. We live about an hours drive from there and I was happy to be in the nice peaceful car. haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right from the start there was FUN being had. The kids each went in on a Ghost Train (they were freaking out a little) and then they had photos, got ushered into the restaurant. There were snacks and drinks already on the tables, and during the show more drinks and the finger food was coming out. The show itself was FANTASTIC and the adults loved it just as much as the kids. The entire place was booked out with kids parties so each birthday child had their cake put in front of them and everyone sang Happy Birthday to them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also included each child in an on-stage competition which was very funny. My son Luca was one of 3 to be in a Whoopie Cushion competition. At the end of the show all the kids were invited up on stage for a disco, finished it all off perfectly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, here are some photos of the day. Luca said "It was his BEST birthday ever!" and the kids were raving about it, even at school the following week! I think this kind of party is great for this age group, and would highly recommend it. </div>

This past June I was invited to celebrate my Grandfathers 90th Birthday and was also attending my 20 year High School Reunion in my Hometown of Young. Both party's were exactly one week apart over the school holidays and were in NSW (we live in QLD) so we decided to make it a road trip adventure visiting lots of places and family and the SNOW on our travels. It was to be only my second time at the snow, I went once when I was a teenager and the very first time for my husband and children. We were a little nervous of how cold it would be as we're spoiled with lovely warm weather living in Brisbane; well it was collllld but we loved it and had an absolute ball. We only had two days there and visited both Perisher and Thredbo, both beautiful but we would really love to go back to Thredbo another time; that was our pick of the two. Here are some pictures of our fun in the snow. </div>

One of my best girlfriends Chelsea was expecting her fourth baby and asked Kerryn (our other bestie) and I to help her decorate her baby shower. Chelsea has impeccable taste and wanted a Vintage High Tea party. I went over to her home a week or two before and her and I nutted out plans of how we wanted it all set up. We wanted to set it up in gorgeous backyard and make it like a garden party. Her husband Brian was great with helping us and set up wires throughout the backyard for some of the decorations and also moving some furniture from inside out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Among Chelsea's many talents, she is a FABULOUS cook, she planned and made some amazing mini treats and bakes to complete her High Tea {whilst pregnant, whilst working and whilst running her 3 boys to school and sport and training}, I don't know how she does it! </div>

During the last school holidays I had my weekly Pole Fitness class on and needed somewhere for my boys to go whilst I was in class, they would be too bored to sit there for an hour and watch me. My Pole instructor told me about a place called <a href="http://www.bricksnfun.com.au/index2.html">Bricks n Fun</a> where you can book your children in to build Lego and you can leave them there to be looked after...perfect! Well, my boys LOVED it! I've never seen them so quiet and happy, totally concentrating on what they were building. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I went to pick them up I inquired about birthday party's there. They did them for up to groups of 12. As my middle boys Zac was coming up to his 7th birthday I decided to book a party there. I have given my boys a birthday every year on their special day and they are always held at home, this was to be my first one not there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fabulous and so easy for me. All I had to do was pack a few things into the car, and head there. The entire place is booked out for your party. They have two hosts that help the kids with their Lego building and they also provide a few party games such as "pass the parcel" Then at the end we did the cake and had a few snacks and the parents come to pick up the children and we were done. No mess or clean up for me and one VERY happy birthday boy! :-)</div>
