It’s been over two months since I (somewhat spontaneously) deleted my Instagram account. I’d been thinking about it for over a year, and one day I just went through with it. Annoyingly, Instagram doesn’t permanently delete your account for an entire month in case you change your mind–but February 22nd came and went and finally my account was gone for good.… Read More »
Nourishing Recipes to Cook This Spring
Spring is a temperamental season in Minnesota. Last week it was in the 70s–today we took a walk in the 30s with snow blowing in our faces. Brrr. As such, “spring food” is not exactly radishes, greens, and strawberries for us. More like a continuation of cozy winter fare and working our way through our freezer/pantry garden larder.
I did not growing up eating nose-to-tail but as an adult, I’m learning to cook different cuts of meats for our family that are both healthier than just chicken breast (due to nutrition from the connective tissue and bones) and also more economical. The higher cost of living has motivated me to be more adventurous than usual this year!… Read More »
A Week in Sydney: Visiting Royal National Park
On our last day in Australia, we woke up to eighty degrees and a beautiful sunny day after a couple days of cool, drizzly weather. It was the perfect weather for visiting Royal National Park, just south of Cronulla, for a morning at Wattamolla Beach.
Originally, I had wanted to visit the Blue Mountains while in Sydney. But with four little kids and the mountains being over an hour drive from both of our lodgings, we decided instead to keep it simple and visit a closer park. I’d love to see the Blue Mountains someday, but keeping our drive time short was the right move (Eric wasn’t particularly enjoying the “wrong” side of the road :P)… Read More »
A Week in Sydney: Where We Stayed in Cronulla
After four days in Zetland, we were excited to head out of the city for a beach-y second half of our vacation. This is where it came in very handy to have friends in the area. They recommended staying in Cronulla, which I wouldn’t have picked on my own. It’s not too far outside of the city but also close to Royal National Park (which I’ll write a separate post about) and fairly inexpensive for Sydney.… Read More »
A Week in Sydney: Our Visit to Taronga Zoo
Sharing this post earlier than planned as my post scheduler isn’t working and I don’t have the time to figure out why at the moment!
Last week I shared where we stayed in Sydney for the first few days. This week I’m sharing one of our first adventures in Australia–our visit to Taronga Zoo. When planning our itinerary, I wanted to make sure we included the zoo to see some native wildlife. We weren’t disappointed!
From our hotel in Zetland, it took over an hour to get to zoo. We took the bus up to the wharfs, the ferry across Sydney Harbor and then another quick bus ride to the zoo. We spent about 90 minutes at the zoo and then grabbed lunch on the way back. Overall it was a long day–we left around 8:30 and didn’t get back until 3pm–but so worth it!… Read More »
