Adelaide Fringe 2021 has officially kicked off and we had the pleasure of being invited to the opening weekend for children's event, Monski Mouse's Baby Disco Dance Hall. As a new mum, it was my first time to attend a children's show and I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew was that I have a very cheeky, friendly toddler who loves to go out and also loves to dance. So obviously this show would be perfect for her, right?

I am so happy about today's playground find! 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.

Beyond the fog of sleep deprivation, there's plenty of things that goes on in the mind of a first time mother. 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:

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas with family. 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. And we got to explore this wonderland.

2020 has certainly cancelled all our travel plans. 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 Big4 Renmark (check out that blog post), 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! Read on.
