Okay cruise lovers, you're going to LOVE this post!

We had the pleasure of being invited to visit the Royal Caribbean ship 'Ovation of the Seas' as she docked in Sydney Harbour on Friday - and what a vessel she is! 

We dined at Jamie's Italian for the launching of their new menu, and my goodness, the food was incredible. From farm fresh produce, pasta and dishes all hand made in the restaurant, to lovely wait staff and beautiful views, it was amazing!

Meeting the man of the hour himself was the icing on the cake! What a lovely & humble human being. 

We're a family that LOVES cruising, and this little taster is making us very excited to get out on the water again. Our girls (who range from 2-10) would have so much to do on this Royal Caribbean cruise - and hubby and I would too.

Do you and your family love to cruise? 

It's been some time since I posted here, because I've been flat out working on my social media pages. 

If you're still following along, hello! If you're new here, welcome! 

The girls are growing like crazy - Emma is almost 2, Amelia is creeping towards 4, Claire is 7 and Georgia is 10.5 and well on her way to becoming a sassy teenager. 

In the past year, we've said goodbye to our two kitties - and we're still missing their furry little presence around our home. Spencer is still a happy old puppy, ruling the backyard and spending most of his days sleeping in the sunshine, living out his golden years. One day we'll add more fur babies to our lives, but not right now.
