Queenstown trip

Queenstown, New Zealand, is a beautiful place, full of mountains, winter sports, and fabulous city life by the water. I’m lucky enough to live only 3 hours away from the beautiful city. 

Even though I live so close, I still don’t get to visit very much, probably only every second year. I was lucky enough to have to go pick my aunt up from the airport, which meant shopping and exploring the beautiful city, even though there’s not much I can say about my experience.

I went shopping for some new bras, which were long overdue and got a refreshing Starbucks drink which I happily sipped away at watching the ducks play around across the road. I did, however, get some fantastic footage for my YouTube channel and some amazing photos of the mountains and me ofc, can’t forget the selfies. 
 
Go check out the video so you can experience authentic New Zealand life and see some amazing things I saw in Queenstown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNJSMWlcNQE

Here are some of the awesome pictures I got while away

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

How I track everything I do & how I plan to do better

How I keep track of everything  Keeping track of everything I need to do for social media can be difficult and thankfully in 2024 I was getting really good at pre-filming and keeping ahead of all my work.  When ever my daughter was away with her dads family I would pre-film my YouTube videos and TikTok’s in advance, I would try to always be a month ahead of my schedule to make it easier.  To keep track of what needed to be done I would write out a plan with each date a video or podcast needed to go up and what it was so that I knew what I needed to film and the date it needed to be done and posted by.   How I plan to do better I know I struggled to keep on top of everything all the time the last few years with just one child who I did get breaks from at times to be able to pre-film etc. and now with a second child here and in a new country with less time; I know it is going to be harder even though I was just starting to get in a routine so I have spent a while ...

How I hid my pregnancy

  It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell.  I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for.  Clothing and appearance I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie.  Behaviour I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue). Situational adjustments I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people mi...
