HOLIDAY HEAVEN

I'm not going to lie; I've got a few holidays plans up my sleeve which generally come about when I'm doing research on great family travel for MamaMag. And whilst everyone was chatting about what they are doing with their kids over the impending school holidays at the kid's footy yesterday, I got to cheekily explain that I was indeed taking a holiday without my kids! Yep, you heard right... Mama's got 7-nights of Seminyak bliss planned in Bali with six other fabulous mums! Say what!? I think it's important for mums to take time out for themselves, and as much as I love taking my two kids away, the lack of a partner means no adult conversation, so it's exciting to finally be going away with some friends. But don't get me wrong. My kids are not missing out this year. They hit London (see p10) and Italy last year. We had a fabulous trip to the Grampians in Western Victoria just before school went back in January (including a meerkat adventure at Halls Gap Zoo!) and I'm thinking a little trip to the Gold Coast in the July holidays. We've just started working with Destination Gold Coast and they've got some seriously fun stuff for kids of all ages that we need to check out. I've also got a little mama-daughter trip to Singapore planned for September while her brother is away on a fabulous 10-day trip in Port Douglas with school. Tough life being a teen! So where is your next holiday mamas? I'll see if I can rustle up one to give away for you soon!
