The series is actually quite educational in a cute Sesame Street way of course. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The episodes teach children about properties of matter and light, and about machines such as pulleys and levers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0ZNTeXAW0ab5BJfzff48MoQxtvxOSeM4HI96ng5mWuz8h9CJ2ee4mZe441ofefDYCF746c-HipccSr2EpSLAWrJEht9kVrkuK8nzE8mwLVu_xcytl7iIjd7GqvCSPs1q1Nzgew5YSAnNbe4kBQolpot_NTR8BMyt6lx2s-xW-BQMmit5lBHrs64Z/s4032/20221016_120442.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0ZNTeXAW0ab5BJfzff48MoQxtvxOSeM4HI96ng5mWuz8h9CJ2ee4mZe441ofefDYCF746c-HipccSr2EpSLAWrJEht9kVrkuK8nzE8mwLVu_xcytl7iIjd7GqvCSPs1q1Nzgew5YSAnNbe4kBQolpot_NTR8BMyt6lx2s-xW-BQMmit5lBHrs64Z/w480-h640/20221016_120442.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The episodes are only 12 mins each.

Of course my 2-year-old was too young to understand this but older kids would benefit from it for sure.

This allowed for there to be ample space for my toddler to run around on the grass as well as ensure that the lines on the rides were not too long. We were able to easily line up a second (or 3rd) time to go on the rides that became her favourites.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxA3iVGDvvRkcKEfWVaGOxGR3ADG5TbO5gFQsu0WwUz__KSbMKJ58Dxyv3ES-a3eSXGFd75NbvOI7iXKwD4vHCMQi05VkDEdkCvm3M1Ni0kIlu7IM6RsIrQhzgE4fAairLHu2GZ5qmJCsc0GhYtaQ0KsqSu3nJBQROQ_BFRjH50hH8O-3mdX-z-o_K/s4032/20221015_185310.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxA3iVGDvvRkcKEfWVaGOxGR3ADG5TbO5gFQsu0WwUz__KSbMKJ58Dxyv3ES-a3eSXGFd75NbvOI7iXKwD4vHCMQi05VkDEdkCvm3M1Ni0kIlu7IM6RsIrQhzgE4fAairLHu2GZ5qmJCsc0GhYtaQ0KsqSu3nJBQROQ_BFRjH50hH8O-3mdX-z-o_K/w480-h640/20221015_185310.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For smaller kids, there were some great options as you can see in the photos.

<b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">How To Book</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although their team have so kindly booked this for me, I checked out their website and also found that it's very easy to book a clean. You simply choose the type of clean, the date and time you would like to book, and input how many bedrooms and bathrooms your house has.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">How Much It Costs</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For our 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom house, a regular clean is quoted for $144 on their website. You also have the option of adding in Extras such an cleaning inside the oven. How good is that! (Although if you want to DIY a chemical free oven clean, make sure to check out my previous post <a href="http://www.jeannieinabottleblog.com/2021/07/how-to-clean-your-oven-without-chemicals.html?m=1">HERE.</a>)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The Service</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Inner West Domestics sent 2 cleaners (who I later found out were a husband and wife tandem) to our house. They were both so nice and so shy but they certainly went out of their way in cleaning the house. They were amazing! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had a huge mountain of laundry waiting to be folded. Unfortunately I didn't have time to put them away before I headed to work. To my surprise, they tidied up the laundry too (which they did NOT have to do). I could almost cry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0s3qtKObDbIVQK5Z0eCFVRFx-Q0duiwhxAJMMjHMyOVNlM84raky0XnYV-72ebArretC14MRAxhgFuCnut8udF0E8hScL43ryUt9wovVukzIIVA0-CVzj5YVhzzGqF9_zkw4LW9kMuM/s2048/20210821_152617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0s3qtKObDbIVQK5Z0eCFVRFx-Q0duiwhxAJMMjHMyOVNlM84raky0XnYV-72ebArretC14MRAxhgFuCnut8udF0E8hScL43ryUt9wovVukzIIVA0-CVzj5YVhzzGqF9_zkw4LW9kMuM/w300-h400/20210821_152617.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was also surprised to find that the messy scribbles had disappeared from my toddler's table and chairs set. They literally scrubbed it clean! I also noticed that they even dusted off the picture frames on the wall.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They vacuumed and mopped the whole house and the house never felt and smelled so clean. The look on my husband's face can confirm that. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">My Thoughts </span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, you have to be mindful of your expectations - a regular clean completed in less than 3 hours would of course not be as thorough as compared to if you spent a whole week cleaning every single nook and cranny. But for a working mum who often comes home to a toddler hurricane, it is often hard to simply tidy up and keep the house running. So I'll admit, mopping the floor and cleaning the mirrors/showers can very often get neglected. If you're a busy bee, booking a cleaner is certainly super handy! And the cleaners at Inner West Domestics went above and beyond. In fact, once they finished cleaning, they asked us to check and let them know if there was anything else we wanted them to clean. And that if they missed anything, they could come back to clean it. Like, what? Wow! Talk about service! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks, Inner West Domestics!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Always,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Jeanne</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>*Although this service was gifted to me, I was not obliged to post on this blog.

One, because I couldn't be bothered. Two, because those chemicals for cleaning your oven were just terrible. Finding out about an effective chemical-free method inspired me to get cleaning. The method is simple and uses bicarb soda and vinegar.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gXgpSQ8QyGM" width="320" youtube-src-id="gXgpSQ8QyGM"></iframe></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are the simple steps:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Remove oven trays.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Make a paste with bicarb soda/baking soda (3/4 cup bicarb soda + 1/4 cup water). Spread it all over oven. Leave for a few hours or overnight.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Spray your oven with white vinegar and scrub your oven clean.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Wipe your oven clean with a damp cloth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm actually super happy about this chemical-free method. I found it effective and not irritating to the eyes/nose. Will certainly be ditching the chemicals and sticking to the bicarb from here on out.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">Always,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Jeanne</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

What I loved about this hotel was the ambiance automatically made you feel like you were in a posh hotel. I also enjoyed the free access to Next Gen Health Club. What I didn't like was that you had to walk that distance to enjoy the amenities at Next Gen (as the hotel itself didn't have any of those amenities such as a swimming pool or a gym). Perhaps not a big issue in good weather but it was a rainy winter day when we were there. Overall we still really enjoyed our stay.

That sort of trouble certainly set me up to have high expectations. But with good reviews, we were keen to have a date at Shobosho.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho_o4eFqi6gK4AI19ntubF9YdZGLDJ3suacDnzAuxf2TeV5B9ZFXGzepOo_5TM0OWzLfamkEqc6SnbpcheqpOY9HYdGFw9kXpyeu3SjEvbOsgpIQLqGSVXNo816pGKtJs4n_bbI0rgx0k/s2048/20210611_122603.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1672" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho_o4eFqi6gK4AI19ntubF9YdZGLDJ3suacDnzAuxf2TeV5B9ZFXGzepOo_5TM0OWzLfamkEqc6SnbpcheqpOY9HYdGFw9kXpyeu3SjEvbOsgpIQLqGSVXNo816pGKtJs4n_bbI0rgx0k/w522-h640/20210611_122603.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Ambiance</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We stepped up the stairs to find that the interiors had a modern Japanese-like aesthetic with the perfect contrast of dark paint and wood furniture. The dark ceilings and sound proofing certainly gave us some interior design inspiration. My husband immediately fell in love. Because of the dimmed room with a cozy atmosphere, it felt like we stepped into a different world for a while - like we were actually having a romantic date night (instead of being 2 parents sneaking in a lunch date while the toddler is at daycare). We zoned out to the restaurant's vibes and enjoyed that feeling while the sound system played Backstreet's "No Diggity".</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Staff</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Uhhhhhh does this place have a requirement for their staffs' appearance? Why was each one oozing with effortless sex appeal?? They all had different looks and appeal - one was effortlessly chic, one had that messy-hair-artistic-and-quietly-sexy vibes, one was boy-next-door, and one was suave. Or was it the music and ambiance getting into our heads? Needless to say, service was exemplary. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Food</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I knew straight away after Googling this restaurant that I could not and would not leave this place without trying that pork sandwich. It struck me as odd to visit a fancy restaurant and just order a sandwich but this sandwich definitely intrigued me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YHC__W-Xad7Jtdv4dclNXc91IYBjTH4EysOs2I87_mMIlrQHPBKTAHJgRL6Atcp7nNjvCC5RLPrgL92_RyhAxuqCbC7ygXbyu7ZI6smjQcPVIscyMMJFE4dL-RH1BmQ_swkTnlYZ4K8/s2048/20210611_122533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YHC__W-Xad7Jtdv4dclNXc91IYBjTH4EysOs2I87_mMIlrQHPBKTAHJgRL6Atcp7nNjvCC5RLPrgL92_RyhAxuqCbC7ygXbyu7ZI6smjQcPVIscyMMJFE4dL-RH1BmQ_swkTnlYZ4K8/w480-h640/20210611_122533.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">~Katsu-sando, crumbed pork meatball sandwich, tonkatsu, cabbage</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What sort of sandwich concoction is this and why is it the best sandwich we've ever had? The bread was ever so slightly toasted but soft and melt-in-your-mouth. The pork had the right amount of crispness and softness. What tasted like Japanese mayo was the perfect dressing. This comes with 2 pieces meant for sharing. One piece was perfect. If you eat both pieces then it would be too overpowering. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoFOzHeI3FwQmeI6GF3a6BvDG8x2BgXBbfSYhKb8KLdexhJi9SBvcWf3mIYD2eCQZ2P5_oNPguicgdNa8t5Y8Y7kEpSiPmtVzu8uV8v0IofS5ACMRIzHhRzGxeSEk2xmrUULYyH4hGus/s2048/20210611_122523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoFOzHeI3FwQmeI6GF3a6BvDG8x2BgXBbfSYhKb8KLdexhJi9SBvcWf3mIYD2eCQZ2P5_oNPguicgdNa8t5Y8Y7kEpSiPmtVzu8uV8v0IofS5ACMRIzHhRzGxeSEk2xmrUULYyH4hGus/w480-h640/20210611_122523.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">~Spit roast terriyaki chicken, BBQ onions, miso creamed corn, wood baked shallot bread</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's probably just me but I always don't expect much from chicken.

We availed of the $35 Brunch and Skate Package. At the time, I felt like the other deals were too pricey and the brunch deal time slot and menu were the most toddler-friendly. It seemed like other parents had the exact same sentiment as the vast majority of the people who went to that timeslot had kids in tow.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKXPef8JUANq2p2-kV-f5QFINtQfY6vxvEDSmbrtZm_b9_RlCxKKpgRWKZ75W9iH20p3Eo4ZrSO70OSztENqSitKfYrotUJ16-mXJdK0VhXHShRD563Q9u2w_6nBxB_HoW-qEOfrPMLM/s2048/received_243473207553174.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Winter Village Adelaide" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKXPef8JUANq2p2-kV-f5QFINtQfY6vxvEDSmbrtZm_b9_RlCxKKpgRWKZ75W9iH20p3Eo4ZrSO70OSztENqSitKfYrotUJ16-mXJdK0VhXHShRD563Q9u2w_6nBxB_HoW-qEOfrPMLM/w300-h400/received_243473207553174.jpg" title="The Winter Village Adelaide" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Food: Included in the package is your brunch meal with choices that include: a cheeseburger, fish and chips, a lobster roll, and chicken and waffles. Drink choices included some alcoholic choices as well as hot chocolate or soda. My husband enjoyed the chicken and waffles. I enjoyed my lobster roll. Although I did end up going to the toilet too much a few hours after... I'm not too sure if the lobster roll was to blame.

What we didn't count on was how warm it can get inside an igloo. I guess that's how an igloo works. Lol. It was a very sunny day even though the wind was really cold. The sun made the interior of the igloo quite hot. The staff were quick to give us hand-held fans. But it was certainly too warm to stay in there too long although we did still make the most out of our time there. Here's my brother sticking his head out to catch a breeze:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Gr6NP5u3tZ9JmJoi_7kiBkpNbPykMx5t3NwAVh0yFMFNUiK9IjknAtiwlQwzkpMt5Atz08BBRsyjGwkIhID3mYgkx-sb2NFG3SudcGBNN3GcFY96AGnLvIpsHyF9VS6s-vU6V0cnOLc/s2048/20210529_102150.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Gr6NP5u3tZ9JmJoi_7kiBkpNbPykMx5t3NwAVh0yFMFNUiK9IjknAtiwlQwzkpMt5Atz08BBRsyjGwkIhID3mYgkx-sb2NFG3SudcGBNN3GcFY96AGnLvIpsHyF9VS6s-vU6V0cnOLc/w300-h400/20210529_102150.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, we all enjoyed our time at the winter village. It's certainly worth a visit. If we didn't have a 1-year-old along, the night time slots with the snow fall would have been even more beautiful.

Different from other meal subscriptions where you have to do the cooking, these meals only need to be defrosted and reheated or have minimal cooking effort such as baking or stirring in a saucepan. The instructions for each meal are clearly written on the packaging so you honestly don't have to do much thinking.</div></span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">So if you're short on time but still want to have the goodness of homemade meals on your table, you might want to give them a try.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">My thoughts:</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">1. These meals tasted like they are restaurant-level. Seriously yum! And checking the ingredient list made me even happier. I mean, this is probably much healthier than if I cooked them. Their broth seems to be made from scratch from free range chicken bones and vegetables. They use heaps of herbs and spices some of which I probably can't be bothered sourcing myself. The veggie-packed sausage rolls were indeed packed with veggies such as chickpeas, capsicums, carrots, and the like.</span></div>
</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">2. The size Small might be enough for 2 people with regular appetites but for the Asians-who-eat-like-a-horse-and-never-get-fat *cough me cough* it might not be. We settled on one and a half small-sized packaged meals for each meal and that was the right amount for us.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKZ0LoC5TGedB0fbLqwWhderAPFTR0iy6cNQQ9PfZYmn1LEDAMDcOVoj8MzkhNvU-W0n6ts2iIF7ZNzWKrU3Z7KRdRq_oh2W41x8D3AS-X0aTM9u8eqEjZGog_TszrEucnd8etmjM-M0/s2048/20210503_171527.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKZ0LoC5TGedB0fbLqwWhderAPFTR0iy6cNQQ9PfZYmn1LEDAMDcOVoj8MzkhNvU-W0n6ts2iIF7ZNzWKrU3Z7KRdRq_oh2W41x8D3AS-X0aTM9u8eqEjZGog_TszrEucnd8etmjM-M0/w320-h400/20210503_171527.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On the right: Moroccan Meatballs in a Spiced Tomato Sauce</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

With previous meal subscriptions I've tried, I was always bothered by how each ingredient was packaged in a separate plastic packet - something I obviously don't have to worry about with The Dinner Ladies. The packaging is so mindful with clear instructions of how best to dispose them (i.e. in the recycling bin or compost!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki5fYWBdLPuVVn7EMFy8WJDsOjROXX_-7eSVpYkKH_5K0TiriOY7GyJSYOvQRFtzCoURNIjfqm5AVlFvuCmnHQHDCGo1bfdyfgOKIN0i5egrfYWq48wheN2lk88WBdOU70MpQv8lamBg/s2048/received_460697925249913.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki5fYWBdLPuVVn7EMFy8WJDsOjROXX_-7eSVpYkKH_5K0TiriOY7GyJSYOvQRFtzCoURNIjfqm5AVlFvuCmnHQHDCGo1bfdyfgOKIN0i5egrfYWq48wheN2lk88WBdOU70MpQv8lamBg/s320/received_460697925249913.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtL00qGg1a0A-TR5BSIAIoTOCfqyAf79fGYjoKTqCf66Vdn06aX5KsC4KQ_rN8RHLRchKmpHhpKlEKGEfda6yFRC7r-1UDDXjWfymwJNwxd9iBFFTTS25IBVWmh-cpeY9APXmr8KtM3U/s2048/received_301091234964132.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtL00qGg1a0A-TR5BSIAIoTOCfqyAf79fGYjoKTqCf66Vdn06aX5KsC4KQ_rN8RHLRchKmpHhpKlEKGEfda6yFRC7r-1UDDXjWfymwJNwxd9iBFFTTS25IBVWmh-cpeY9APXmr8KtM3U/s320/received_301091234964132.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">4. The ease of prep is just beyond convenient. The majority of meals you simply have to defrost and reheat in the microwave, or simply reheat without defrosting. While some you'll have to pop in the oven or on the saucepan with minimal effort.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So far, I have yet to try a meal of theirs that I didn't like. Perhaps my least favourite would be the veggie-packed sausage rolls because while it was delicious, you know the unhealthy ones always taste better, right? But as a parent, yes, those tasted amazing too. My absolute favourite are their curries though. Can't quite decide between the Thai Chicken Curry or the Prawn Curry. They're both so delicious. Had them with heaps of rice, of course! And of course, their best-seller is their lasagne and it's no wonder. It may have been the best lasagne I've ever had!

To our surprise, this was huge! And to our delight, this tasted impeccable. This was so good that I almost didn't realise how quickly I was devouring huge slices. We had to remind ourselves to slow down and enjoy the flavour. The texture was just perfect. The cold mascarpone cream was the just right amount of sweetness. The coffee flavour wasn't too strong but left the right amount of slightly coffee-bitter aftertaste on your tongue. I'm not a coffee drinker and I loved this, and so did my coffee-lover husband. For $15, this was hands down the best tiramisu of our lives.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgV7bYHiVI8xy_AxpX0m9RY6xGEkdPAo9J6O21qthsXeKP53YoMZnlhr08RsUXi5mwrDtnoad6nroFzxgGffhFojaHox7RCo3mqocvr4xgbUDF1VV3dZqFcD09LczoLhCHaFYYgQhGeqw/s2048/20210305_111314.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgV7bYHiVI8xy_AxpX0m9RY6xGEkdPAo9J6O21qthsXeKP53YoMZnlhr08RsUXi5mwrDtnoad6nroFzxgGffhFojaHox7RCo3mqocvr4xgbUDF1VV3dZqFcD09LczoLhCHaFYYgQhGeqw/w320-h400/20210305_111314.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Overall Thoughts </i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What's not to love about this restaurant?

It's funny, even though we don't live too far from the CBD, we're only ever really exploring the CBD when we're staying in a hotel in the city. Our most recent CBD staycation was at <a href="http://www.jeannieinabottleblog.com/2020/09/intercontinental-adelaide-post-pandemic.html?m=1">Intercontinental Adelaide</a>. This time, we stayed at the fairly new Crowne Plaza Adelaide.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHixpYIPpkRW0jpAo6z6KczJIzJ7Jv6qILTOE8YxCYkkakFsEbEoUK2LI-0q5jmA3X8S82ynCQ7llLt33ZPVYKt_7akfwM0sGmgxBEBHZbRhcqBIzjQliLgUvYQ4Cy8Xt9bZ_iet_VG5I/s2048/20210122_143307+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Crowne Plaza Adelaide Pool" border="0" data-original-height="1483" data-original-width="2048" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHixpYIPpkRW0jpAo6z6KczJIzJ7Jv6qILTOE8YxCYkkakFsEbEoUK2LI-0q5jmA3X8S82ynCQ7llLt33ZPVYKt_7akfwM0sGmgxBEBHZbRhcqBIzjQliLgUvYQ4Cy8Xt9bZ_iet_VG5I/w640-h464/20210122_143307+%25282%2529.jpg" title="Crowne Plaza Adelaide Pool" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>The Cost</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We booked a Twin Premium Room on a Friday night and the full price was $249/night.

They've got a lovely looking infinity pool that's not very big but enough to keep the kids (and me) happy. Of course, covid restrictions apply to the number of people allowed at one time. Although who's really policing these days?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this hotel, it seems as if everything is on the same floor on Level 10. This includes their lobby/lounge, bar, swimming pool, gym, reception, and restaurant. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOHIbEL3EGDpAiefQE2JpdNfuDaRgebytgxSSST7WdSa2PHkUICQvmrKQpceuHbIelPyMtSA5qtMFMkGMi9JW-Hp1dWqZMAv36pQqiJofmvipFirgd_UkxXj7-E2It41IIFtjGQa8SN4/s2048/20210123_091409.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOHIbEL3EGDpAiefQE2JpdNfuDaRgebytgxSSST7WdSa2PHkUICQvmrKQpceuHbIelPyMtSA5qtMFMkGMi9JW-Hp1dWqZMAv36pQqiJofmvipFirgd_UkxXj7-E2It41IIFtjGQa8SN4/w300-h400/20210123_091409.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Breakfast wasn't included in our stay. We did have a look at the breakfast buffet at Koomo restaurant and although it looked lovely, the selection was too limited for us to spend about $39 each. We decided to walk and pick a cafe elsewhere instead. I fully intended to dine at Koomo but we're not the biggest fans of fusion cuisines especially when it's a cuisine that we love. We opted to walk and dine at Japanese restaurant <a href="http://www.jeannieinabottleblog.com/2021/02/adelaide-restaurant-review-akimitsu.html?m=1">Akimitsu Australia</a> instead. I'll have to come back and try Koomo another time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The Room</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We booked a Twin Premium Room which was on one of the higher floors which gave us a lovely view overlooking the CBD. The room itself was simple but I loved the clean, minimalist, and modern aesthetic. Check out the vlog for a hotel tour:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DKuXJe7LKAs" width="320" youtube-src-id="DKuXJe7LKAs"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The toiletries included were hooked to the wall but I loved the beautiful scent of the Antipodes blackcurrant set. The coffee machine was modern with some coffee pods included. The TV was chromecast ready. The phone and remote were modern. They also had a wireless charger ready on the bedside table. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sg1E7mk1UuihSeQWm4QG11b4_76OOKjXRjxYiT_aq-P2zFz8-JumUwnUgwRNvdWEqbfIXXArLRwEX0wNHy49kDgRQMaqzIGUAvgLCALYUDFbrv_IPIOT4eWKKgVG-d3rywPy04VJAdg/s2048/20210123_112430.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sg1E7mk1UuihSeQWm4QG11b4_76OOKjXRjxYiT_aq-P2zFz8-JumUwnUgwRNvdWEqbfIXXArLRwEX0wNHy49kDgRQMaqzIGUAvgLCALYUDFbrv_IPIOT4eWKKgVG-d3rywPy04VJAdg/w320-h400/20210123_112430.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Overall Thoughts</span></i></b> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is most likely the most modern hotel we've stayed at in Adelaide by far. It's simple with not all too much to do or explore but perhaps that is the charm to it too. Loved the beautifully designed aesthetics and interiors. With such a convenient location and sufficient amenities, I'd say Crowne Plaza Adelaide was worth our stay.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WlmLgZ9pyQazpsAFoGPHBYXKS2g_vBYyVi5bfhMLXbq98BM_sryIwfOZ95YPuCbxH1Y2lfbikBLO62ZyktWscpbrILQRoiUorxFi4kBDK2m15yu9KPlBhiy3tik2cKa5k1Zu8QFWrIU/s2048/20210123_095306.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WlmLgZ9pyQazpsAFoGPHBYXKS2g_vBYyVi5bfhMLXbq98BM_sryIwfOZ95YPuCbxH1Y2lfbikBLO62ZyktWscpbrILQRoiUorxFi4kBDK2m15yu9KPlBhiy3tik2cKa5k1Zu8QFWrIU/w400-h400/20210123_095306.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div>Always,</div><div><i>Jeanne</i></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

For the first time, my 14-month-old was actually immediately excited to play. She basically ran with excitement at this playground. I'm sure seeing some bigger toddlers contributed a lot to her excitement. But also, the way the playground was set up was very conducive to toddler play. Even better is that Sheidow Park is only a short drive from where we're located in the South of Adelaide. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQrythHwV3qGw1n7ItZhyphenhyphen81EPsY1_0m0-9pf0zlT-wNmzGgFHFr3tcd_ABuvr35VyRzYKj_uYt7TOk2PrGUcyUaljf5cIOj98-dPEfnPcmcIi0DcHitHMXO0WM6KXn4WtmbXek1jucQ4/s2048/20210129_154907.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Southbank Boulevard Reserve, Sheidow Park" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQrythHwV3qGw1n7ItZhyphenhyphen81EPsY1_0m0-9pf0zlT-wNmzGgFHFr3tcd_ABuvr35VyRzYKj_uYt7TOk2PrGUcyUaljf5cIOj98-dPEfnPcmcIi0DcHitHMXO0WM6KXn4WtmbXek1jucQ4/w640-h480/20210129_154907.jpg" title="Southbank Boulevard Reserve, Sheidow Park" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Southbank Boulevard Reserve, Sheidow Park</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Location</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Southbank Boulevard Reserve, Sheidow Park</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Parking</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Plenty of side street carpark available</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVW23y4dSLILfVAVHeYpvJSeHR2fOEjEIqi0cj8KqXwk_NgoSygBgvNt-nsX4DWZ7mNLcJI4cQOQawEUPQUO-s0ceNlCXBdF3fYnUR7k5vpICTqgY1PX09PctW95x_al6Z79eosk6ZTO4/s2048/20210129_160508.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVW23y4dSLILfVAVHeYpvJSeHR2fOEjEIqi0cj8KqXwk_NgoSygBgvNt-nsX4DWZ7mNLcJI4cQOQawEUPQUO-s0ceNlCXBdF3fYnUR7k5vpICTqgY1PX09PctW95x_al6Z79eosk6ZTO4/w400-h300/20210129_160508.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Toilets</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Automated public toilets are available</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhFvhwitU0w5RZm8kMxDfIxNWJVE9HYkhXYmQ9StUs0sj67PLka4l3fvU8zFWlrrPw6FqE-fa-hwsw4Mlp-idjCw89DRGBgsxViK7YtKg69_l38HlmMqiKSJIXVf_SYMBGn31WcOq8i8/s2048/20210129_160459.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhFvhwitU0w5RZm8kMxDfIxNWJVE9HYkhXYmQ9StUs0sj67PLka4l3fvU8zFWlrrPw6FqE-fa-hwsw4Mlp-idjCw89DRGBgsxViK7YtKg69_l38HlmMqiKSJIXVf_SYMBGn31WcOq8i8/w400-h300/20210129_160459.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">BBQ facilities</span></i></b> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Available</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The Play Area</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There aren't too many playgrounds that are suitable for toddlers.

I often get asked for restaurant recommendations but I'm certainly no expert. That's probably why this is the first time I'm sharing about an Adelaide restaurant here on the blog. But I thought it would be nice to share the little gems I come across here on the blog. From here on, I'll be sharing good finds with you guys. (Ordinary or disappointing finds won't make it to the blog simply because I don't have all that time. Lol.) So why did Akimitsu Australia make it to my list?

At $65, this platter includes 2 x steamed rice, 2 bowls of miso soup, assorted vegetables, 2 x prawn, 2 x lobster, 4 x assorted fish. We visited twice within a month of each visit and ordered the same thing. On the first visit, we shared this and a couple other dishes between 4 people and we were all incredibly impressed. The second time, we shared it between just 2 people (and a toddler) and the magic was gone a little but it was still good. Perhaps because it's actually a very heavy platter for 2 people (particularly if you drink the soup) even though it looks small. On the 2nd visit, we noticed that the fish selection was also different. The first visit included salmon while the 2nd one did not. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjb9LkulcQLksWsmgZQptQgJFVlxsdn9HfFu4Vjthlpf6uH_jazrDkbnBV_hw8FCgPfsbNQ2sWjnS69ugG6ctd8WAyw7N0nyGLfRzTsCvZcYpWeaQ-LvuKqfzsdI_aSygdwNMNzVHQ1rI/s2048/20210122_182732.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjb9LkulcQLksWsmgZQptQgJFVlxsdn9HfFu4Vjthlpf6uH_jazrDkbnBV_hw8FCgPfsbNQ2sWjnS69ugG6ctd8WAyw7N0nyGLfRzTsCvZcYpWeaQ-LvuKqfzsdI_aSygdwNMNzVHQ1rI/w300-h400/20210122_182732.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">But let's talk about the tempura. For the first time in Adelaide, my husband was actually happy about the tempura. Other restaurants have disappointed him previously with the tempura not being "legit" and when I say legit, it means an Asian with an Asian appetite being disappointed with what is presented as Asian food. This tempura had authentic batter and was cooked just right. Of course, I heard that Akimitsu uses local fresh ingredients but imports their sauces and the like from Japan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfQSZPhiTCwVmnfy_PybtTQzU-5VTlSnInPiBPFtH9sE-mmYu3gtLpgspmL3lG27r7N1qEoamI-6XAOH62wlaMBcIhnQk_f4tRMxzEo0HEnAGq_k1XW2AqBd5Dyc4IGbktYUCr5VgCKM/s2048/20210122_181510.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfQSZPhiTCwVmnfy_PybtTQzU-5VTlSnInPiBPFtH9sE-mmYu3gtLpgspmL3lG27r7N1qEoamI-6XAOH62wlaMBcIhnQk_f4tRMxzEo0HEnAGq_k1XW2AqBd5Dyc4IGbktYUCr5VgCKM/w300-h400/20210122_181510.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you like miso soup?

We just had to ask for a high chair and they didn't really have plastic utensils for children but we managed with no problem.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Comment below if you've got restaurant recommendations for us to try.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div style="text-align: left;">Always,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Jeanne</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

They are able to sign back at this age. But when my bub didn't sign back, I got lazy and slowly forgot about it. When she was 10-11 months old, I was so shocked when she suddenly signed "milk" to ask to breastfeed. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When she turned 1, it was like a switch was turned on and she could suddenly catch on to all the signs I taught her. She was suddenly using signs to communicate very clearly! Her favourite is "more" made by putting your 4 fingers to your thumb with both hands and putting them together. Of course she does it differently than an adult can but the message is very clear. She asks for "more" food, "more" bubbles... and even uses the "more" signal to ask me to open toys or baskets that she wants "more" of.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">

Why I Taught My Child Sign Language</span></i></b><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sign language gives your child a useful and clear way of communicating before she can talk. While I of course teach and encourage conversation with my baby, it's not always easy to decipher when "mamam" means milk, food, or mama. Or when "baba" means ball, baby, book.. You get the picture. Being able to communicate with her through signs has made things so much easier and reduces frustration as we understand each other better.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Useful Words/Signs:</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I didn't teach her an extensive signing vocabulary as I didn't think it was necessary. Sign language does not necessarily have to be AUSLAN or ASL. You can also make up your own signs that you and your baby understand. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">"MORE"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The sign for 'more' is certainly used and abused by my child as she enjoys asking for more food or more toys (open the box of toys etc).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"MILK"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A very clear way to ask to breastfeed without grabbing/lifting your shirt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"FOOD/EAT"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A clear way of letting you know she's hungry.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"DRINK"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Time for some water!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"ALL DONE"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This means she's had enough. And sometimes I'll try to push/encourage more food intake but she usually means what she says. "All done." It means she's done eating and will refuse any more. She also signs all done when she's had enough of the bath or something similar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"POO/NAPPY CHANGE"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This way she knows what's coming when I sign poo/nappy change. And hopefully this encourages more cooperation. She definitely understands. But whether or not she'll cooperate depends on her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LdqsDn8SS3U" width="320" youtube-src-id="LdqsDn8SS3U"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Of course sign language is not to replace actual words but should be used in conjunction with them. It's so fun to watch her communicate so clearly!❤</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Please share this post with a mama who would find this helpful.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"></span><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_210115_170614_558.sdocx--><span style="text-align: left;"></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Always,</div><div style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><i>Jeanne</i></div><div style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

Not everything makes sense, but sometimes it feels like your love could write poetry too. Here's a list of random thoughts I wrote several months ago, back when motherhood was still fresh and new to me:

6. It's true. You can no longer poo or shower alone in peace.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">7. Insurance is suddenly so important, like, you really think about the numbers this time because you want to take care of your child even if you die.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">8. Wait, what? I have to pay extra for hotels and plane fares if I take my baby with me??</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">9. She loves me SO incredibly much. And I love that. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">10. Perhaps no one has ever (constantly stared at) looked at me with such love and longing before. Not even her father. (Also maybe because a baby can stare at you for ages without blinking, unlike adults. Lol)</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">11. How are some baby clothes more expensive than adult clothes? No thanks, I'm headed to Kmart.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">12. "She's growing up so fast" is so real and even though each milestone makes me happy and proud, the fact that time is flying so quickly also breaks my heart.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">

13. I wonder if we can afford it if I become a stay-at-home mom?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">14. I'm just as clingy as my baby. Or maybe more.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">15. My shirt is drenched in baby drool. I even smell like drool. But I can't even be bothered to change anymore.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">16. I should probably start planning about school for her and stuff.. but I'm just winging it over here.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">17. All I want is for her to be healthy and happy.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">18. Nobody ever really told me that baby girls will also shower you with pee, almost as well as a baby boy would.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">19. My phone is constantly running out of storage. But I can't bring myself to delete baby's photos/videos... No, those 5 photos aren't identical, you see the difference in her smile between shots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5? </span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">20. I love the way you love me. But I love you even more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">

In the week leading up to Christmas, we got to visit Santa’s Wonderland SA held in the Adelaide Showground. I was fortunate enough to have received a PR invite as you would have seen on Instagram. But I wanted to share a review here on the blog as well. Thankfully, despite 2020's covid-19 whirlwind, Santa still came to visit.

Older kids would likely get bored. Younger toddlers and infants would only get to enjoy minimal rides as only a few allow parents to ride, and some rides may be too much for them. In saying that, the whole event is filled with sensory stimulation and simply being there is enough for your toddlers/babies to observe and enjoy. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The set up was beautiful. I opted not to pay extra for the Santa photos as all the selfie zones were incredibly gorgeous already.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV95XU4vwgkrkvX3L-qH6Px2ke-_7XFwUsnO1y7dP0oNr0PMdPPee3cwNITmhALmzFnVuCw_XYqBT5JUOfPU29pG18ZvNewQhj9wBuOSqsOWIU5-Yla0_jY-p9A7-utTT0fStjBq4Hh3A/s2048/20201220_155514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV95XU4vwgkrkvX3L-qH6Px2ke-_7XFwUsnO1y7dP0oNr0PMdPPee3cwNITmhALmzFnVuCw_XYqBT5JUOfPU29pG18ZvNewQhj9wBuOSqsOWIU5-Yla0_jY-p9A7-utTT0fStjBq4Hh3A/w320-h400/20201220_155514.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Because we're still in covid-19 times, you could really see that they disinfected everything after use. They also ensured everyone use hand sanitiser before entering each zone or ride. They of course had to cap the number of people per session which I think made it even better. This ensured that lines weren't long and moved quickly. It also wasn't overcrowded so everyone got to enjoy without feeling too overwhelmed from the noise and amount of people.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I certainly had a lovely time and will definitely be back when my child is older and can enjoy this better. At 1, the highlight of her day there was the ride-on reindeers which her dad and I pushed along for her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpTSyJvDA2SaOnMQL-q2UCOlwP7haOFLFNI3H9TwPW5l_KoMwVQkkPKExLOXfQljrQ3zROF2_9iA-aihSa0mWAPSQ4EWnR5OX2PndaqBPtzaaqMYl3_tuHm2IeoaZetKJTx2e7sOynXn4/s2048/20201220_162331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpTSyJvDA2SaOnMQL-q2UCOlwP7haOFLFNI3H9TwPW5l_KoMwVQkkPKExLOXfQljrQ3zROF2_9iA-aihSa0mWAPSQ4EWnR5OX2PndaqBPtzaaqMYl3_tuHm2IeoaZetKJTx2e7sOynXn4/w300-h400/20201220_162331.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Have you been to Santa's Wonderland before?</p><div>Always,</div><div><i>Jeanne</i></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

The upside is that South Australia is a beautiful place to explore. I'm certainly grateful to call this state my home. After having such a wonderful experience at <a href="http://www.jeannieinabottleblog.com/2020/09/renmark-south-australia-big4-renmark.html?m=1" target="_blank">Big4 Renmark (check out that blog post</a>), we thought another holiday park vacation would be lovely and easy. After the 3-day lockdown eased, we went off to a mini getaway at Victor Harbor. I found that NRMA had great online reviews and often ends up on top 10 lists for South Australia holiday parks. So I thought, let's do it!

NRMA is located conveniently within 4-10 minutes drive of Granite Island Causeway, restaurants, and grocer shops.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Accommodation/Cost</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These days, we opt for the convenience of well-maintained cabins because with a baby, we honestly just can't be bothered with anything else. Of course, they have other options such as powered and unpowered sites where you can set up camp. We opted for the Ocean Breeze Villa which cost us $344 for 2 nights in the middle of the week. My dad decided to join us last minute and they only charged us an extra $20/night. The villa sleeps 4 people with 2 bedrooms.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Check out my vlog as I give you a cabin tour:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_7YuqY6V8c0" width="320" youtube-src-id="_7YuqY6V8c0"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I was impressed that the cabin looked like it was recently built or renovated. It was clean and wasn't old or outdated. The cabin also had its own BBQ on the porch where you can also choose to dine. The kitchen had everything you would need except for an oven. The toilet also had an eco-friendly water system with a faucet above the flush button.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Amenities/Park Facilities </span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The park had a bouncing pillow, a solar-heated pool, a pump track, a game room, TV room, laundry, community kitchen, playground, water park with slide, and bike rental. And of course, the park had a beachfront access.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7sTfeSCjfcoRtzcUBolNFdUaD5jkkBf_DfEJZW8GNrmNJ68BDUUsHFhtRAxP0zlYJjkMMPgU_WJ4UpIfZEgjxcbotPQT22Difhyphenhyphen9VYn44ZgSoMLojPGN78sYTTZD5iGfud4oLvEORHx0/s2048/20201207_172603.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Beachfront access from NRMA Victor Harbor Holiday Park" border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="2048" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7sTfeSCjfcoRtzcUBolNFdUaD5jkkBf_DfEJZW8GNrmNJ68BDUUsHFhtRAxP0zlYJjkMMPgU_WJ4UpIfZEgjxcbotPQT22Difhyphenhyphen9VYn44ZgSoMLojPGN78sYTTZD5iGfud4oLvEORHx0/w400-h221/20201207_172603.jpg" title="Beachfront access from NRMA Victor Harbor Holiday Park" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Beachfront Access from NRMA Victor Harbor Holiday Park</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I was disappointed with the playground as there was barely anything there except for a rocking horse and the main play slide structure. There wasn't really anything to offer to a 12-month-old. The water in the solar heated pool did not feel warm at all. The water park I found a little boring however, it was perfectly tame and good for our 12-month-old baby who loves the water. To start the water in the water park, you press a button to activate it and it will go on for about 15 minutes. I think this must be eco-friendly as they are most likely saving energy consumption. The down side is that it's a bit annoying to have to press the button again... </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Where To Eat</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I didn't bother to pack food for this trip aside from snacks. I knew there was plenty to eat at Victor Harbor. We grabbed KFC and Indian takeaway at one point. We also dined at Ninos of Victor Harbor which had great reviews. They didn't disappoint.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">What's Around</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">While there's plenty to do at Victor Harbor, we weren't really there for adventure with a 12-month-old. We walked along the bridge to Granite Island and watched the horse-drawn tram. On our way back home, we drove the 11-minute drive to Port Elliot Bakery because of course, we needed the donut of the month.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_mE6DyutG3ylnbsz4cjeFTXpPyJSuErbeO8x1pXyabM6dycU47jj9EHQKKDVDuvf-OqbO8gxNTnIoNcgY12M7TMkjCOSF1aOpETAxDVGBdydwmzqi0QMrFpYF1MVrsuzrvPtzbI9he38/s2048/20201207_172541.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Victor Harbor Granite Island Horse Drawn Tram" border="0" data-original-height="1290" data-original-width="2048" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_mE6DyutG3ylnbsz4cjeFTXpPyJSuErbeO8x1pXyabM6dycU47jj9EHQKKDVDuvf-OqbO8gxNTnIoNcgY12M7TMkjCOSF1aOpETAxDVGBdydwmzqi0QMrFpYF1MVrsuzrvPtzbI9he38/w400-h253/20201207_172541.jpg" title="Victor Harbor Granite Island Horse Drawn Tram" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">My Overall Thoughts</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This was a lovely little quiet holiday perfect for families with little ones who are more than happy at the pool/water park/play on sand.

Plus points if they're only a very short drive away. So I thought it would be good to share our little adventures on the blog so I can always go back to them when I run out of ideas. On this day, we were off to visit family in Glandore so we checked out Jubilee Park so our little one can have some fun first.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQbyHDZzuD4ZK1x-rtkO_zjL-jJ61jqEA0hAlUSwofd66pDMcqsf77kXspFQKlapP2ze7rQfekYdu6TH39cgJjzOHGl60m7XZ14hP4fLyQKpi4VGxyjWuQCkEJp6rTD8BxQOTZVas1f4/s1024/CYMERA_20201006_153943.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jubilee Park, Glandore" border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQbyHDZzuD4ZK1x-rtkO_zjL-jJ61jqEA0hAlUSwofd66pDMcqsf77kXspFQKlapP2ze7rQfekYdu6TH39cgJjzOHGl60m7XZ14hP4fLyQKpi4VGxyjWuQCkEJp6rTD8BxQOTZVas1f4/w400-h300/CYMERA_20201006_153943.jpg" title="Jubilee Park, Glandore" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Location</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">15A Wellington St, Glandore SA 5037</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Only about 10 minutes drive from the CBD, the park is tucked quietly in a suburb where you could easily miss it if you don't actually look for it.

It had something for toddlers and something for the bigger kids too. There were two slides with the tube slide big and fun enough for a big kid (*cough me cough*). To get up the slide, there was a ladder as well as an option to climb up those frog foot holds. Those frog holds I found were a bit painful to grasp for someone like me who doesn't have the best arm strength but my husband pushed me up.

Ah yes, touch of luxury for me please! Despite this, I still kept my expectations very low as this was still a caravan park after all. </span>We drove through the entrance and saw the well-constructed reception/kiosk area, saw staff driving by in a golf cart, and I immediately squealed, "I'm so happy!!" Perhaps this was the best option now that borders are closed and we can't really go anywhere due to the pandemic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpay4iUVmZCxvTOKalLdLzA91mG7nip0XNiDWScKeFoat3uvNo2o5Hnd6tHjYOOuB_WJEm8hfasc6SNBGibf4OX2VtK1PrCR8zuN7BeIn89AQ9tsy5FyIFuBW6PzA0uFyQuYDP6xSyz8/s2048/20200918_164630.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpay4iUVmZCxvTOKalLdLzA91mG7nip0XNiDWScKeFoat3uvNo2o5Hnd6tHjYOOuB_WJEm8hfasc6SNBGibf4OX2VtK1PrCR8zuN7BeIn89AQ9tsy5FyIFuBW6PzA0uFyQuYDP6xSyz8/s320/20200918_164630.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>The Amenities </i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>For a caravan park, they sure had just about everything you need.

It was hubby's birthday week, he was in dire need of a little holiday, pandemic restrictions were eased, I had about enough of being cooped up... and the hotel had a huge promo going on. So we thought, why not? I didn't know it then, but apparently we were literally their first customers on their first day opening post pandemic. No wonder why they had a huge discount going on! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOk3mEgm1Heso84gfFMk3cLoiXq4yiqv4_EcP8stoWvZWCNCfpaNrkisIYcO9cznyLzNKH3FYTQUIY_bBEDDIUWud8T3MhCskVSdeQDCrnBK4JgMsfgNZeKaUJoQqm8m1YDiSj_ke9EZI/s1280/Thumbnail_1599795580214.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOk3mEgm1Heso84gfFMk3cLoiXq4yiqv4_EcP8stoWvZWCNCfpaNrkisIYcO9cznyLzNKH3FYTQUIY_bBEDDIUWud8T3MhCskVSdeQDCrnBK4JgMsfgNZeKaUJoQqm8m1YDiSj_ke9EZI/w500-h281/Thumbnail_1599795580214.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Location</span></b><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The hotel is located right in the heart of the CBD with a tram stop right in front of it. Even without the tram, it's an easy walk to get to Rundle Mall or one of the many restaurants in the city.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Room</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'll be honest, it was a lot older than I expected. The photos looked much better than what it was. Check out my vlog to see what it looked like. The bath tub wasn't the cleanest and had sediments which I didn't realise until I started my bath. You think they would have done a thorough clean before reopening. They also added a single bed to the room even though when I booked the room it clearly stated that our child was less than 1 year old. The metal frame with the wheels of the portable bed wasn't the prettiest. The bed itself was surprisingly very comfortable though. I remember loving their pillows too. The room itself was tucked in an odd little nook but the view wasn't bad.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0TQth_g5GLc" width="320" youtube-src-id="0TQth_g5GLc"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Amenities</span></b> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">They had an impressive hotel gym - wish I brought workout clothes. The hotel itself looks quite grand and I feel is quite suited for events. By the looks of it, they obviously hold a lot of events regularly. The pool was closed and we couldn't even view it as the lifts didn't allow access which was a bummer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Food</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With any hotel staycation, a breakfast buffet is a must for me. In fact, a breakfast buffet will usually lure me in to pick one hotel over the other. Unfortunately, pandemic restrictions don't allow buffets which I didn't realise beforehand. Disappointing. But they did allow us to pick a meal each from the a la carte menu and served us a pastry and fruit platter alongside it. The food was delicious and we honestly couldn't consume it all even though we tried to. The prices on the menu was decent too. In fact, it was surprisingly more affordable than some cafes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

<b>The Cost</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This overnight stay cost us $148.25 with breakfast included for two.

The room was outdated. The food was delicious. Would I stay here again for no reason? Probably not. But we did enjoy our visit despite the let-downs caused by the pandemic restrictions. It was simply a much needed break that allowed us to unwind and reset.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div>Always,</div><div><i>Jeanne</i></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><i>Follow along on my journey on Instagram.

After a quick google of "pram friendly walks in Adelaide/South Australia", we headed off towards Onkaparinga. Well after some miscommunication, Google led us to "turn left" where there was actually no road to turn left on. Oops. With a baby complaining about being on the road for too long, a quick detour led us here. Spoiler: it is NOT pram friendly.

Technically, this is in fact the park we really meant to go to but we were meant to go on a different, easier, baby-friendly route. Obviously, a national park would be huge and this is the area we ended up on unintentionally. It ended up to be the most wonderful surprise. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuf2XLOxVewc46ZNvPFH2IfWw9ixfXN3vr4aq9bmHF5Tk-dMCjZGZ531hxPDCVr-VW6X0LIsFnL2pJT45yP-IeqvQZI1jaj397FrCNxIwyfOGfVxpyqcKr4rV5TXJub_fqp5UUR9FN_w8/s1024/CYMERA_20200825_162937.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuf2XLOxVewc46ZNvPFH2IfWw9ixfXN3vr4aq9bmHF5Tk-dMCjZGZ531hxPDCVr-VW6X0LIsFnL2pJT45yP-IeqvQZI1jaj397FrCNxIwyfOGfVxpyqcKr4rV5TXJub_fqp5UUR9FN_w8/w800-h600/CYMERA_20200825_162937.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_qOTx5EVw3LYqYT0aARX37xsYqJWC5Qh1kw3_pH006j-cAhvdcPbW_G-nBkje2C7sZ1xFK5DQR5KL_YOxsYyFCJYLeDZzy3SileWkJbARyctEBLdPG2rAQI75x8KJNlJ6H9wCe-ots_M/s1024/CYMERA_20200825_162856.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Onkaparinga River National Park" border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_qOTx5EVw3LYqYT0aARX37xsYqJWC5Qh1kw3_pH006j-cAhvdcPbW_G-nBkje2C7sZ1xFK5DQR5KL_YOxsYyFCJYLeDZzy3SileWkJbARyctEBLdPG2rAQI75x8KJNlJ6H9wCe-ots_M/w800-h600/CYMERA_20200825_162856.jpg" title="Onkaparinga River National Park" width="800" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Beyond the sign, you'll see a picnic area and a toilet.

All in all, this walk is certainly doable with a baby in tow. Because it's only a short loop, it's also a perfect duration providing baby visual stimulation and exposure to nature. And for the grownups, this walk provides one of the most beautiful views for such a short walk. Although... I don't think I would do this walk if I was the one who had baby on the carrier. Lol! I did offer to split the time but hubby did the whole route himself. It pays to have a fit husband.

The 'new me' has realised there are clothes that are no longer my style and I certainly won't be wearing those anymore either. So this collaboration has come at the perfect time as I am in the process of organazing my wardrobe.

time your wardrobe got some of your precious time and attention? Is it
screaming out to be decluttered and reorganized? Well I feel you! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, here are
my expert tips on how to declutter and organize that wardrobe of yours!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">#1Come Prepared<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Ever find
yourself half-way through cleaning your room, knee deep in piles of clothing
and regretting your decision? The best way to combat this is choosing a day to
organise your wardrobe where you have minimal errands planned and can designate
2-3 hours to the task. That way you won’t feel distracted or overwhelmed. Make
sure to also have essentials like shopping bags for items you don’t want to
keep, a tape measure for measuring out space for new storage options and a
full-length mirror to try on clothing and determine what items you want to
keep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">#2 Consider
External Storage Options<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A good idea would be
to consider investing in external storage so that you can place your unsure or
you less frequently used items away until they’re needed again. Companies such
as </span><a href="https://hirestorage.com.au/"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Hire A Mover</span></a><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> are great to use for this as they have </span><a href="https://www.hireamover.com.au/mobile-storage-sydney/" target="_blank"><span style="background: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Mobile Storage</span></a><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> units. The
removalists come to your property with the mobile storage pod to collect your
belongings, safely store it back at their facility, and will return it to you
when you are ready. It is a secured facility that is monitored 24/7,
centrally located and accessible 7 days a week. This service stores your
belongings from a few days to years and is affordable. It makes moving and
storing just that much easier and less stressful knowing you have professionals
to help you out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">#3 Be
Ruthless!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Let’s be honest, we all find ourselves clinging
onto items we don’t need “just in case”. Decluttering and organising your
wardrobe i<a name="_GoBack"></a>s the perfect time to say goodbye to this
habit. The best way to do this is remove all items from your wardrobe and make
three piles; one for items you want to keep, one for items you are unsure of
and one for items you definitely do not want. This way you can start building
your wardrobe from scratch and keep it minimalistic. For the items you are
unsure of, you can then add them to your external storage.</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Corbel","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

considered that clearing out your wardrobe could mean doing something good for
others? With the items you do not want, consider donating the suitable ones to
charity. With heaps of clothing being put into landfill a year, you are doing
something good for other whilst also contributing to the environment. Another
way to do it is to have a clothing sale and donate all proceeds to a charity of
your choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
