The weekend arrived and we were finally able to go out with all four of us again. Saturday started with a nice brunch at Cafe Indigo. It is clearly THE spot in Double Bay. Kyle got the blueberry pancakes (above) and I got my sister’s fave, the breakfast bruscetta (below). My sister got a new (to her) order, which looks very similar to the salmon benedict but has avocado instead of hollandaise. P fell asleep in the stroller at lunch so I cut out a bit early to go back home and put… Read more >

Laura took a half day on Friday so after our morning routine she came home and we hit the road. Off to Coogee! She used to live in Coogee (first in 2007 and then again in 2012 when she returned to Oz before she moved to her current place). So she knows the area quite well. She cheated on her former employer (Coogee Cafe) and took us to Globe Fine Food & Coffee. She warned us that the service wasn’t amazing, but the food was. Plus it was on a cute street that had… Read more >

It rained over night and was expected to rain throughout much of Thursday so we planned to visit the aquarium this day. Our morning routine was the same. I took a quickie run after nursing P, going up the steps towards Elizabeth Bay (that we went up the previous morning) and then back home. It was like doing the stairs in Santa Monica. Then I made the three of us food – eggs all around. P napped for his usual 2 hours while I journaled and once he woke up we figured out the… Read more >

Wednesday morning was pretty much the same – family walk to the store to get eggs and bananas, then we cooked and played with P until his morning nap. We tried to hit up Bird and Bear Boathouse for lunch (a place that I read several great reviews about) but once we got there we found out they weren’t serving food, just coffee and cookies. It looked like a great place to sip coffee with pretty views but we needed more than cookies to tide us over. It was a hike getting there from Double… Read more >

Tuesday morning was our most normal sleep schedule yet! P didn’t stir until 7 am so we slept in and seemed to get on Australian time all the way. I also didn’t cough all night long. We went on a family walk after Chris and Laura left for work, just around the neighborhood. It was so nice outside we couldn’t help but soak it up. Once we got home we showered and made breakfast for the three of us. P played with the Tupperware some more because he’s obsessed, which tired him out and created… Read more >
