One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed my kids (3, 5 & & 7yrs)up and moved to Australia for 1 year, rented out our house here in Eire and rented one in a fab place in Sydney (Bellevue Hill) where they went to primary school for the year and My hubby worked, self and my 3 yr old had best year, going to the beach every day and really chilling out. Took the 3 of them on a trip to Uluru outback in a camper van for 2 weeks. 5 yrs ltr, took them to Aus again and to U.S Disneyland, and Thailand, where we discovered Bangkok, Chaing mai rode elephants etc. walked in jungle.
