Childhood friendships are formed over cups of cold water tea and numerous outfit changes for little girls. Franca is blessed to have a few great little buddies that live just around the corner and go to the same school. We have playdates weekly at each others houses where the little people play while the Mums sip tea and catch up on the gossip. Its such a magical age when their little imaginations create a whole senario of make believe and furniture gets dragged from one end of the house to another to set up the scenes to go with these. Teaparties, babies, dressups, doctors and train rides seem to be the flavour of this month. I cant wait to see what the next one brings.

Travelkins//Winter at the Bach
Long lazy days away at our island retreat here in New Zealand really are special. We are very lucky to have a bach located on Kawau Island that has hosted four generations of my family and hopefully many more in the future. It accessible only by boat and with not a shop or cafe in sight. It defines getting away from it all.
Ashton and Franca get to run free and be kids, collecting sea glass on the beach outside the door, fishing off the whalf, bush walks and only a dull moment here if you choose it, and West our dog is never far from our feet. Summers are great fun with lots of boats in the bay and the return of our holiday neighbours. There is something magical about winter visits when it seems you are on a deserted island and the peace and serenity makes for a perfect way to recharge the batteries. Oh and few home made cupcakes always help.
