New Life On The Road

Life On The Road A Mothers View

Blue Water Lagoon Mackay

Today I feel like I am suffering from a major hangover, without drinking anything the night before! Soon realised that it was because of the use of too much lavender! David has been using it on three of our boys to try to help them to sleep…and accidently spilt some on himself.

That was last night – I was fine going to sleep and I didn’t feel the effects. Until this morning! I woke up feeling really spaced out. So much so that I have not being able to do anything all day.

Blue Water Lagoon Visit

Then I realised that I havent shared our wonderful weekend. On Saturday we went to Blue Water Lagoon in Mackay. We have been trying to get there for a few weekends, but haven’t had the time. The sun was out, it was a perfect day, and we had to shop for Fruit n Veggies as well as get Gas Bottles filled up. Perfect all round – getting out and about in the winter sun and exploring the Lagoons.

Mud Car Racing

Today we went to a Mud Car Racing Championship in Sarina Show Grounds. We have never been to something so loud, and full of so much mud! Yet our boys LOVED every minute of it…..it must be a boy thing because I so could not understand why anyone would want to race in mud?

Queensland Mud Trail Championships

We wasnt sure what time it started today (yesterday it started at 11.00am) so we headed out the door around the same time…to find out that it started around 9.30pm. Oh well – at least we got to the Sarina Mud Trials!

 The sun was warm so we headed to a spot in the shade, even though we were in the shade most of us got burnt. The thing that struck me at first was the loud cars – like so loud that you could not hear each other talk! Then there was the Mud – it was thick mud, and it was getting deeper. Not sure why but they kept on wetting it with more water – the hose was going the whole time….and if the cars got stuck in the mud then they had to get out of the vehicle.

Happy Days In May Challenge

Since I have started to take a photo a day over at our Facebook page on “Learning to Be More Grateful and Accepting” I have started to realise and appreciate the little things in life! Little things that make my life all the better for noticing it. Then I came across Seven Cherubs challenge “Happy Days in May” where you write a sentence a day about something/anything that makes you happy!

Perfect Timing for May Challenge

Its perfect timing for writing something down for Happy Days in May Challenge. Instead of writing a sentence or two every day here at our blog Life on the on the Road I thought I would write a sentence a day every day and then share them every Saturday! So here goes….

Whats For Dinner

Every day I get asked the same question – every single morning! I get asked “Whats For Dinner” and we haven’t even finished Breakfast. Can you guess which one of our sons asks that while he is eating breakfast (I’m NOT kidding – He is still eating Breakfast while thinking of Dinner)

Whats For Dinner

Recently we have started to do up a weekly Menu so that I know what I am cooking every night – since David has started night Shift I have had to take over Dinners….and I have enjoyed trying to find new recipes and use up what we have in our Cupboards (But don’t tell hubby!)

How To Build A Strong Bridge

We are parked next to a little creek which is just perfect for our family who love to be outside! Well most of our boys do. It’s also perfect because I can keep an eye on Kyle playing while I am still able to get the washing up done, sweep the floors, wash the clothes, and keep them quiet so David can sleep. Even our 16-year-old son has joined in on the fun.

How To Build A Strong Bridge

Zachery was watching his brothers trying to build a bridge. He was listening to them all talking about it yesterday afternoon. Before I could say anything he was into working out How To Build A Strong Bridge so that all of his brothers could easily climb over it without falling into the little creek.

Instead of explaining what he was doing, I thought I would show you in photos….

Help Im Lost And I Am Not Sure Which Direction To Head In

Today I woke up with so much going through my head – and a tooth ache! Yeah I know I so need to go the dentist but its one my true fears and I have lived with this sore tooth for many years, so a bit of Vegemite on the Gums and lots of water and I should be ok. But then I had those thoughts going through my head….

What am I doing with our blog, and which direction do I want to take it in? See I really need Help! I’m Lost And I Am Not Sure Which Direction To Head In – Do I keep blogging about travel, adventure, experiences or do I blog about our family – or do I blog about life in general. I look at many blogs and read a big variety of them – they sure are good with their style of writing and how they can draw a crowd in. Then I start to wonder….

What am I doing? I failed at English in High School, I never ever passed a spelling test and my English Teachers told me that I would never ever be able to write a story or a book and have someone read it!

Does Travelling Homeschooling And Night Shift Work

We are trying so hard to get used to our new lifestyle! David is Working night-shift while we are trying to see the sights of Mackay and still trying to do homeschooling! Does Travelling, Homeschooling and Night shift work hand in hand together?

New Life Style While Trying To Travel

We are only going into week two of Dave doing night-shift, travelling and homeschooling all in one. Then there is housework, cooking meals, trying to blog (which I am still trying to catch up on!)….so far I have snapped once during the week! It was the other day – I was trying to get the washing up to date (which I can’t do while Dave is asleep because the washing machine is in our boot of the bus – under our bed!), make lunches, clean the bus up and think about dinner.
