Scored a pair of new Converse Chuck Taylor shoes for Lori yesterday.
The style is called "Lucky Star" with glitters on each shoe.
Sooo cute and kikay :)

Lori at Sunkids

It's Lori's first day at the Sunkids Children Centre today.
Sunkids has a city location in Collins Street.

let's play hulahoop!

We enrolled her last Wednesday and she is booked to attend once a week.

Our aim is for her to develop social skills and be somehow prepared for school (yes, as early as now).

let's catch some bubbles!


Lori got positive remarks from the Sunkids' carer, Lisa (who is a Filipino-Vietnamese).
She told me that my kid was well-behaved and cooperative most of the time.
Quite good for a first-timer in a day care. :)

Lego Duplo

Lori is very interested in assembly toys.
So, as we passed by Big-W store this morning, we grabbed a new toy for her.

Lori's first Lego toy to assemble is this Postman set.


Look at her as she was trying to think of the next step on how to bring the parts together. Hehe.

Good for her concentration! :)

Weekend at the Great Ocean Road

Spent the Easter weekend at the Great Ocean Road with my husband and daughter.

We travelled thru the coastal road with several stopovers at the connecting towns such as Torquay, Aireys Inlet, Lorne and Cape Otway.

In Torquay, we stopped by The Esplanade which has a nice view of the long beach. We also visited the "Surf City", the shopping point of surf enthusiasts. Torquay is famous for its surf beaches.

Aireys Inlet features the Split Point Lighthouse and lovely rock formations down the cliff.

Lorne is a popular place for caravan parking and camping near the Erskine River.

The Cape Otway was one of the highlights of our trip. The view of the ocean with the towering iconic lightstation was a beauty.

We stayed the night at Loch Ard Bed & Breakfast. The property is owned and run by the couple Don & Win Mckenzie, which are two of the most warm and kind people I have ever met. Their guest rooms are generously big and so cozy. The bluestone English-style country house is so beautiful and situated in a very relaxed farmland.
We also met Marsha (one of the house guests), a fellow Filipino and her partner Deck, who is an Irish.

The following morning, we headed to the "not to be missed" attractions of the Great Ocean Road - the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The picturesque view of the ocean plus the rock formations was truly magnificent. The sound of the sea waves and swish of the shrubs made me feel that i'm so close to nature.

Two thumbs up! :)

Bunch of photos here.

Happy Easter everyone!
