17/11/2025

We’ve just come back from a wonderful family holiday in Fiji - warm sunshine, endless swims, and waking up to this view every day felt like a dream. It really is the perfect family-friendly escape. I’ll be sharing all the details on the blog soon. ☀️

Our favourite spring tradition 🌸 ~ Real-fruit ice cream under the cherry blossoms! 🍓🍦

We love coming here every year! We brought our boy here when he was just a few days old… now he’s loving his very first one - and even said “yummy” for the first time. 🥰

With the wedding season winding down, I’m excited to carve out some time to catch up on all the blog posts I’ve been meaning to write (I know... it’s been a while!). Life’s been full-on with two little ones and running a business, but I’m finally ready to revive the ol' blog and write some long-promised travel content.

Coming soon: our Samoa family travel guide, Bali with a toddler, Queenstown with kids, and a look at Wellington & Wairarapa with young ones. I can’t wait to share all the tips, hidden gems, and real moments from our travels!

And what’s in store for 2025? A couple of South Island adventures and then later in the year we’ll be revisiting one of our favourite tropical countries for a sun-soaked family holiday. We look forward to taking you along with us!

It's been a while! It has been a super busy year so far with work and other things. I was lucky enough to go on a girls getaway to Melbourne recently (my first and only international travels of the year), and we also enjoyed a family winter holiday in Queenstown, - our last trip before Little Miss turned two (and we have to start paying for her flights!) ;) She managed to get 20 in which is pretty impressive!

A bit late but Happy 2023! I hope you've all had a good start to the year. We've been enjoying the summer here in the beautiful Wairarapa, and I've been busy over at my main gig Krysti Jaims Media :)
