Day 3 of Mandatory Isolation and my goal today... find a cafe that delivers coffee! I almost gave up, as many cafes are still in the process of setting up deliveries... I did however find one that does afternoon deliveries (I’ll take it ☕️) I also got a message from Woolworths accepting my request for delivery due to Mandatory Isolation so that’s also a win!
With some of the major airlines ceasing overseas travel until June it looks like our stay in Australia will be getting extended. As we sold our home and put everything in storage before flying out 4mths ago technically, we are homeless at the moment so today my task was to lock in an Airbnb for the month after our isolation period to buy us some time. Now that that’s done this mama bear can breath a bit easier.
Other than that it’s all jigsaw puzzles, lego, handball, tree climbing, singing and dancing (Frozen & Wiggles on constant repeat! 😳) Who else is self isolating at the moment and if so, how was your day & what did you get up to?

I love walking around Ubud in the morning, before the hustle & bustle begins... it’s just so peaceful. Walking the streets with coffee in hand admiring the street art as I go to the morning markets, is there anything better? ❤️

It’s no secret I am obsessed with coffee... but I’m curious how many cups of coffee a day does everyone else drink? This is coffee number 3 for me today (yes, rough night with Miss E last night)

Sometime we just need to take a moment for ourselves. I have a to do list a mile long, organizing our month long trip in Australia in April, homeschool curriculum planning, sorting visas & motorbike licenses, after school activities, etc etc but all that can wait for an hour or two whilst I stop and breath... ❤️

Family fun days in Bali.

At the weekend we ticked off something from our on Bali bucket list, ‘Balinese Cooking Class’. There are so many to choose from in Ubud but we went with a recommendation from a friend and it was amazing and unbelievably family friendly!

I was worried about taking Miss E (22mths) but they were so accommodating I seriously had nothing to worry about at all!

We were collected at 8am and taken on a tour of the local fruit, vegetable and spice markets looking for our ingredients and then shocked off to the cooking school to create 6 dishes (swipe to see them). After enjoying your homemade (by us) lunch, with coffee & dessert they drop you back off home. It lasted about 5 hours in total and you get to take home all the recipes you made on the day.

More info: Water & coffee are included. Bintang is 30k a bottle ($3.30 AUD) - yes you can have a couple of beers whilst you make yourself some lunch. ❤️

Not all classrooms have four walls ❤️ Our little boy is loving being homeschooled and his eagerness to learn more is so heartwarming. He is certainly keeping me on my toes! 😂
Is anyone else world schooling or home schooling at present?

Sorry, late post from me tonight, bedtime was 😬 tonight!! I wanted to tell you about this little gem that we found last week, it’s only 15mins down the road from us (about 25mins south of Ubud Centre) called @sa.playground
A great little hang out for families, it has a bucking bull, Jumping castle, trampoline, rock climbing wall, toddler play area and swimming pool. (I will share more photos in my stories and Bali highlights reel)
And an added bonus, it has an airconditioned room upstairs set up with mattresses & pillows in case little ones need a nap.

It also has an onsite cafe and WiFi.
Prices are super reasonable:
50,000 (approx. $5AUD) per child for a hour play⠀
75,000 (approx. $8AUD) per child for two hours play
100,000 (approx. $11AUD) per child for all day play

For a family of 4 lunch (including drinks & icecream) cost us about 150,000 (approx. $16.50AUD)

So with Galungan (Balinese holiday) and a couple of teacher training days this week our kids have the whole week off school... so, a few families have decided to run away together to the Gili Islands! I’m so excited to be ticking this badboy off my wish list! More photos on stories (and in my Bali highlight reel)
