Welcome to my crazy beautiful journey raising two boys by the bay – Flynn & Archer. These pages are my reflections on our life with little ones – places we go, things we love and memories we make.

Staying at home. But not at home. Our interstate lockdown during the COVID19 pandemic.
Lockdown in our bayside Melbourne townhouse. With 2 VERY high energy boys. And only a small courtyard. With no kindergarten. Or playgrounds. With our local beaches closed.

About Us.
Carly.
The one they call mama. Living my best life with two crazy coconuts and their daddy in Bayside Melbourne.
Flynn.
The one who made me a mama. My cheeky car lover, who can simultaneously drive me bonkers and melt my heart.
Archer.
The one we call Pie. My littlest little, with eyes like oceans and dimples for days. He’s a mama’s boy. And I secretly love it!
Michael.
The one who helped me make them. Daddy bear. Who reluctantly indulges my obsession with capturing every moment and memory.
