9th February 2019

So Grandma (my Mum) has arrived from the USA for her annual month long holiday with us. The kids are always blasting to get and do things but we thought it would be kinda for Grandma after her 25 hour journey to do a slow paced activity locally, so of course Froggies is the obvious choice - Ice cream! Froggies is a super fruit and veg store in Waiuku that also sells yummy cheese, breads, coffee and ice cream! It is $2.50 for a single scoop in a waffle cone, firm favourites are liquorice allsorts, maple walnut and butterscotch pecan...makes my mouth water just thiking about it!!!

After chatting to friends that just happened to be there at the same time (always happens!) we headed to Waitangi Falls, a firm favourite of ours. The waterfall was quite slow due to the lack of rain but could alway spend time sitting in the log at the bottom and comtemplate life! The kids however prefer to be rolling down the hill or throwing stones into the water to see who can make the biggest splash! When the tide is low you can do a short walk from the bottom of the hill around the waters edge but just sitting was perfect for us today!

About Me

I LOVE travelling and exploring! Any spare time I have you will find me planning our next holiday or day away! I spend hours reading travel books, blogs, websites and Lonely Planets!  Exploring has always been in my blood but really took off when I was 16 and I travelled to Australia from the UK for a 6 week holiday with my family and we camped our way around Australia..I bought my first Lonely Planet  and that was that! After graduating from University I embarked on what would become 2 years of travelling the world, I returned to work in the travel industry and eventually ended up moving to New Zealand where I now live and am a Stay At Home Mum to my 3 wonderful kids!

As well as  travelling overseas we love exploring the other side of our own doorstep...I really want to share our adventures and inspire you to make your own and also give handy tips and trivia, I learn so much from other people I feel I would like to give back.

Enjoy and happy exploring! xx
