Happy Mother’s Day,

I honestly don’t think words will ever fully explain just how much you mean to us. Watching you as a mum is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. The love, patience, strength and care you pour into our family every single day never goes unnoticed.

You are the heart of this family. The one who keeps everything moving, keeps everyone loved, supported and safe, even on the hard days when nobody else sees just how much you carry. Jayda and Jack are so lucky to have a mum like you, and I’m beyond lucky to walk through life beside you.

Thank you for every cuddle, every late night, every school run, every sacrifice, every laugh, every pep talk and every little thing you do behind the scenes that holds this family together. You make our world better simply by being in it.

We absolutely appreciate everything you do more than you know, and today is all about celebrating you and the amazing mother you are.

We love you endlessly.

Love always,
Chris, Jayda & Jack

Today we remember the brave men and women who served our country, both past and present.

ANZAC Day is a day of respect, reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices made by so many. Their courage, mateship and service will never be forgotten.

We hope everyone has a great day commemorating and celebrating the ANZAC spirit.

Lest we forget.

Hello everyone, we’ve been a little quiet on socials lately. We’ve been up north enjoying everything FNQ has to offer, while also spending time planning our next big adventure.

We’ve got another big life change on the horizon, with a lot happening over the next couple of months.

In true Chris and Sian fashion, we’ve been given a great opportunity to help create a bigger and better future for our family. It’s something that will play a big part in shaping what the next chapter looks like for us and the kids. We know some people probably think we’re a little crazy with how much we’ve moved and changed over the past few years, but we’ve always believed in taking opportunities when they present themselves.

With every change, every leap, and every new chapter, we’ve grown so much as people and learnt something valuable along the way. It hasn’t always been easy, but getting outside your comfort zone can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do.

We’re not quite ready to share all the details just yet, but once everything is in place, we’ll be excited to share our next adventure with you all.

If you’ve been following along closely, you might’ve noticed a few hints… and now we can finally share what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Over the past little while, we’ve been working closely with TORUS RV helping bring their brand to life through content creation across their range of vans. From walkthroughs and visuals, to ideas around future projects, it’s been something we’ve been quietly building in the background.

This next chapter is a big one, not just for Torus, but for us as well.

Their brand new YouTube channel has officially launched, and the very first episode is live right now… and it dives into everything about this collaboration.

If you’re keen to see what we’ve been working on and where this is all heading, it’s definitely worth a watch.

Jump over to the Torus RV YouTube channel, check out the first video, and make sure you subscribe because there’s a heap of content on the way.

Plenty more to come from this.

Our first four days in Bali have been exactly what we hoped for. We based ourselves in Kuta at Bali Dynasty Resort, and honestly it was the perfect way to ease into this trip, especially with the kids.

We really wanted to give them a great introduction to Bali, and for Jack this is his very first overseas holiday ever, so we wanted somewhere fun, safe and super family friendly. This place ticked every box.

Water slides, multiple pools, kids play rooms, daily activities and plenty happening to keep everyone entertained. The kids could burn off energy while we relaxed poolside knowing everything was right there. Total no brainer for our first stop.

It’s been such a cruisy way to settle into Bali life before we start exploring more. Great food, friendly staff and heaps of laughs already.

Four days in and we’re already loving it. Bali, you’re off to a cracking start.

We’ve absolutely loved our time so far in Melbourne We’ve well and truly switched into tourist mode, getting out and about, exploring the streets, soaking up the sights and making the most of everything this city has to offer.

From wandering through museums and taking in a bit of culture, to checking out the local pub scene and enjoying a good feed, it’s been a great mix of fun and downtime. There’s something about Melbourne’s vibe that just pulls you in, and we’ve had a ball experiencing it all.

We’re also incredibly grateful to have been part of the TORUS RV grand opening over the weekend. It was such a great turnout and a proud moment to be involved in such a big milestone.

And honestly, we can’t complain about the weather either. Melbourne has absolutely turned it on for us. Blue skies, sunshine and good times all round.

We’re doing it again… Mundi Mundi Bash, here we come!

There’s just something about this trip, the long outback roads, the wide open spaces, the sunsets, the camp vibes, and then rolling into a place that feels like a temporary desert city built purely for a good time.

A massive part of why we’re making it happen this year is thanks to TORUS RV They’ve invited us along to be a part of the event, and we’re pumped to roll in with the crew and soak up every second of it.

If you’re going this year, drop a comment and let us know. And if you spot us out there, come over and say hello.

Mundi Mundi Bash 🎉

Our recent reno has been a massive one, and this highlight reel is proof of how much we’ve tackled ourselves.

From repainting the entire interior, ceilings and walls, which alone felt like a marathon. Then we got stuck into the electrical, swapping out old fans and outlets, plus adding a few new bits along the way. One of the biggest jobs was grinding the concrete floors to get everything prepped properly, so we could lay hybrid flooring right through the house.

It’s hard to explain how satisfying it is when you do it yourself. It’s messy, it’s tiring, and there’s always a moment where you think “why did we start this”, but then you stand back and see the transformation and it’s the best feeling.

We’re seriously proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. This house is starting to feel like ours, because every room has had our hands on it!

What’s the biggest job you’ve ever DIY’d?
