It was a sunny Saturday, and we finally went to a café I’d had bookmarked for a long time. Snug sits in a quiet residential pocket of Coorparoo, and the little shop is beautifully put together. The weekend crowd was huge, and it felt like the most popular place in Coorparoo. We got there at […]

IndigiScapes Centre Capalaba – A Nature-Based Day Out for Kids
IndigiScapes Centre in Capalaba is a genuinely good spot for a day out with the kids. There’s a Discovery Centre at the entrance that introduces the plants and animals of the local natural area, letting kids learn about the ecosystem through specimens, microscopes, and interactive screens. What’s Inside the Discovery Centre My kid got stuck […]
Hoopla Pakenham Reviews
Hoopla in South Morang is one of those places where my kid didn’t want to leave when our time was up, and then fell asleep before 8pm that night, so I’d call that a win! IThe play centre designed with parents in mind, and it’s huge, 3,000 square metres of slides, climbing, arcade games, a […]
Attakai Japanese Cafe Carlton Reviews
Japanese Matcha and Sando Cafe Near the University of Melbourne A few of us from work were scouting for somewhere to eat near Melbourne Uni and ended up picking Attakai at random, purely because the penguin logo was so cute! It’s a Japanese cafe on Bouverie Street in Carlton, all matcha and sandos, and the […]
Kumo Desserts in Melbourne Reviews
We were walking through the city with a friend when we passed a long queue snaking out the front of a dessert shop. There were lots of foreigners in line, so I assumed it was just an influencer spot and kept walking. Later I wanted a soufflé and went looking for guides, and everyone was […]
Livvi’s Place Ryde Review
Livvi’s Place Ryde barely needs an introduction if you live nearby, every local family seems to know it, but I keep talking to families from other suburbs who’ve never been, so I’m going to say it anyway, it’s my favourite of the Livvi’s Place playgrounds we’ve tried! We’ve been to four of them now, Ryde, […]
Victoria Park Kew Reviews – Playground Layered With History
I often wonder, years from now, will the parks and buildings we know today still be standing. The playground I’m writing about today gave me something of an answer, in its own way. Victoria Park sits in Kew, on what many people might not realise is actually elevated ground. That position is part of why […]
OMO Cafe Melbourne CBD
Wandering around a random laneway in the city and stumbled onto this place tucked underneath the WSP building. Straight onto my regular list after one visit. Small, easy-to-miss entrance, the kind of door you’d walk right past if you weren’t looking. Push it open and everything goes quiet. Retro solid wood mixed with industrial concrete […]
ilo Bakehouse Wynnum Reviews
New bakery opened up in Wynnum recently, right across from the water, in that old spot that used to be Island View Cafe. We’d seen it all over social media the past few weeks, people queueing down the street for it, so figured it was worth checking out for ourselves. Went on a weekend morning. […]
Nos. Bakehouse & Cafe Dutton Park Reviews
Our friends kept recommending this place so many times we finally gave in and went. It’s tucked on a street that isn’t exactly a hot strip, nothing around it screaming “popular brunch spot,” so the half hour wait for a table caught us off guard a bit. Small menu, but every single dish on it […]
