“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas....”
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬.
I was blessed to have a Mum who made Christmas a very special time of the year for us growing up, and now as a Mum myself, I still adore the Christmas season.
It’s one of the happiest times of the year that we make memories together.
My son and I always have fun together decorating the 🌲 tree with all our favourite decorations from around the world.
It’s always a great night and we talk about every decoration as we hang each one - so many memories of over 70 countries we visited!
We are so glad we travelled the world when we did.  Looking back on 2020 we wonder if we ever will get to travel overseas again?
But right now, we are happy as a family here and looking forward to this Christmas season too.

I love an evening stroll along the foreshore at du I love an evening stroll along the foreshore at dusk as the sky throws pretty pastel shades of pink and purple. 
Thank you to the beautiful little girl holding her balloon as I captured this moment.
And, thanks Soul Sabah for creating a magical space for your market stall.
I love your sheer curtain as it billowed in the wind.
And your jewellery creations are amazing too.
In a world of uncertainty remember to value your human freedom, for like the wind it should flow freely touching other lives.

A beautiful new state-of-the-art gym opened its new premises this week on Chevron Island on the Gold Coast and I love their style.
▬▬▬
But GM are not new in town.
You might know them from their upstairs nearby location - but starting this week you can access this gym 24/7.
There’s even a Personal Training half-price special for unlimited weekly sessions with our friend Alex for just $99! (Limited spots available).
▬▬▬
So get your body ready for summer now.
▬▬▬
Tell them Exploramum sent you for a secret special opening gym offer too.

Bleach Festival has opened on Chevron Island, Surfers Paradise. They’ve taken derelict housing and turned them into an artist paradise.
▬▬▬
I was invited into the set prior to the official opening and captured this great angle of ‘the fried egg’ reminding me of the hot few days were just expected here on the Gold Coast.
▬▬▬
If you’re living on the Gold Coast, why not check out the Bleach programme - now on.

“Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, “Love came down at Christmas, 
Love all lovely, Love Divine; 
Love was born at Christmas; 
Star and angels gave the sign”.
~ Christina Rossetti.
.▬▬▬.
Surfers Paradise is getting ‘dressed up’ for Christmas.
Even the beach surf life saving towers are decorated including a Santa hat on this one.
.▬▬▬.
As the sun beams down, let’s remember that we are to be the light and love in the world every day, sharing kindness and love.
.▬▬▬.
I love Christmastime, and tonight we will decorate the tree and get ready for the festive season ahead.
.▬▬▬.
What do you love about the Christmas period?

The  A-B-C for a successful Girls Night Out at Strike Bowling.
.▬▬▬.
A = Appetite 🍕.
- we enjoyed a delicious freshly made chicken pizza - part of their great ‘Bar Food Menu’.
B = Bowling ⚫️. 
Such fun with a combo of skill & luck between gutter balls & strikes as we enjoyed a couple of games.
C = Cocktails 🍸 . 
With a great cocktail and drink selection available from their friendly staff, we sipped a couple of beautifully created drinks that had us in the mood for fun.
.▬▬▬.
What’s great too is Strike Bowling is in the centre of Surfers Paradise and easy to find.
.▬▬▬.

What a beautiful evening for a sunset cruise thanks to @jpttoursgroup

Who would imagine we moved up to Queensland last year hardly knowing anyone, and yesterday I organised a cruise and sunset picnic for nearly 50 people!

Never be afraid to move and follow your dreams.

“Dogs surely are the closest creatures to humans “Dogs surely are the closest creatures to humans, and I’m sure they think we are related”.
- R. Johnston.
.▬▬▬.
When I relax, a certain dog likes to snuggle on top of me, just like a baby. I’m sure he thinks he’s human!
Oscar is definitely the most loyal dog we’ve ever owned, and he is the biggest snuggle-pot around.
But after all, this is what a good sofa was made for - quality relaxation and time as a family at home together.

Everyone knows red cars go faster!
But, so do mechanically fine-tuned clean cars.

This week we are all encouraged to post about one locally owned business who has offered you great service. With our borders closed to tourism Queensland is suffering terribly, so let’s all make a choice to support locals.

A huge shoutout to a Prestige Autowerks here on the Gold Coast who are European car specialists.
Not only do they fix cars, they also present cars which are immaculately detailed.
.▬▬▬.
I couldn’t be happier!
Why not get you or your loved one’s car immaculately detailed for Christmas and support local business.
