Celebrating Australia

Today it's a national holiday and although it can be contentious, for me the basis of Australia Day is to help my kids understand and appreciate the country we have chosen to live in. Neither my husband nor I were born here, but our boys have and so I believe it's our responsibility to share our appreciation of this land with them, the next generation.

So what did we do?

Dad unfortunately had to work, but without our full team we still managed to tick a few traditional Aussie-isms off our list - 

Ate a mango

Ate some vegemite

Ate a lamington

Went to the beach

Chatted with mates

Got an Aussie flag tattoo (it's ok it's only a small temporary one)

So to all of you as enjoy your BBQ's and hanging out with family and friends - remember those spirits that once walked the land and enjoy it with a whole heart and happy smile.
