When visiting Cairns recently I was keen to see a variety of accommodation options because we know our readers have varying needs and budgets. While it’s lovely to be staying in accommodation on the Cairns Esplanade, it’s a prime location and you pay more for it. For this reason I thought I’d check out an apartment a short drive from town.

Recently my blogging friend, Christine from Adventure Baby, messaged me. She was in California and she had just taken her daughter to a playground in Palo Alto.

I’m often asked about Bali and it’s wonderful to be able to share this insightful review from one of our families. Hi, my name is Jaxon and I’m 11 years old and have Muscular Dystrophy, and rely on
