A Roaring Good Time at Sydney Zoo: Dino Adventures and Family Fun

Posted on January 15, 2025 | Leave a comment

We recently invested in an annual pass for Sydney Zoo, and it has been one of the best decisions for our family outings. The kids absolutely love it, and we try to visit as often as possible. On our last trip, the zoo had a dinosaur exhibition, which turned the visit into an unforgettable adventure for our little ones.

The kids were overjoyed as they walked among life-sized replicas of dinosaurs. My son, a budding dino enthusiast, amazed us with his knowledge, correctly naming most of the dinosaurs on display, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. Watching his excitement as he recognised each creature and shared facts about them was heartwarming. Both kids eagerly explored the exhibit, moving from one dinosaur to the next, thrilled to learn more about these prehistoric giants.

One of the best things about Sydney Zoo is its manageable size. Unlike larger zoos, this one allows us to complete a tour in just a couple of hours, making it perfect for young children who might tire out after too much walking. Despite its compact layout, the zoo offers an incredible variety of animals and experiences.

Along side the dinosaurs, we wandered through the regular zoo exhibits, where we enjoyed seeing lions, giraffes, and kangaroos. The kids particularly loved watching the meerkats play and seeing the cheeky monkeys swing from tree to tree.

Sydney Zoo truly caters to families, with plenty of shaded rest areas, a café with kid-friendly meals, and even a fun playground where children can burn off extra energy. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, happy to answer the endless stream of questions from curious little minds.

What makes the annual pass even more exciting is that the zoo plans different themes throughout the year, ensuring there’s always something new to experience. We can’t wait to see what’s next and are looking forward to making many more memories.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly day out that combines fun and learning, Sydney Zoo is the place to be. For our dinosaur-loving son, it’s become his favourite destination, and we couldn’t be happier seeing him so thrilled. Here’s to more adventures at the zoo!

Hair story

Posted on June 11, 2024 | 2 comments

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had thin, fine hair. I always envied people with long, thick, luscious locks. So, when I got pregnant with my kids, I fervently wished they would inherit better hair than mine. Thankfully, both of them got their dad’s amazing hair genes!

AS has the most beautiful, thick, black hair. So far, he’s had no problems with hair fall and not a single strand of grey. His hair is just as perfect as it can be!

Chhori has inherited her dad’s long, thick, straight hair. It grows so fast! When she was a baby with short hair, it used to stand up like a punk rock style, even without any product. I had to put headbands and cute clips on her just so people would know she was a girl.

Now, we keep cutting it, but it just keeps growing back thicker and longer. I’m so happy for her because she’ll have so many style options as she grows up and won’t have to worry about thin hair like I do.

Chhora was born with thick, curly hair. We let it grow until he was three, and on his third birthday, we took a photo of his beautiful natural curls full of volume. But as he grew, it became harder to manage all the knots, and shower time turned into a big ordeal. So, we decided to cut it before he turned four. Now he has short hair, but it’s still so thick and lovely!

Hair has always been a bit of a struggle for me, but seeing my kids with their fabulous hair makes me so happy. How about you? What kind of hair do you have? If you have thin hair like mine, how do you manage it? Share your tips and stories! 😊💇‍♀️💇‍♂️

One-Word Family Fun!

Posted on June 8, 2024 | Leave a comment

I love getting the whole family involved in everything, especially sparking fun conversations. The other day, I stumbled upon this trending idea where kids describe their parents in a single word, and I thought, “Why not give it a go?”

So, I gathered everyone around and asked them to describe each family member in just one word. Here’s how it went down:

WhoFor MeFor ASFor ChhoriFor Chhora
MeLoveEmpatheticRadiant
ASBeautifulHappyCheeky
ChhoriBeautifulSmartPowerranger
ChhoraNice SmartPrincess

The whole conversation was a blast! I loved how it turned into a whirlwind of positive and emotional feelings. 😄💬

Have you ever done something like this with your family? Share any other fun games you enjoy! And how would you describe yourself in just one word? Let me know in the comments below! 🌟🎉

Plane Spotting at the Beach ✈️

Posted on June 6, 2024 | Leave a comment


After our brunch at Muglan, we decided to take the kids to watch the planes take off and land at The Grand Parade in Brighton-Le-Sands. We used to live around this area, and it has always been one of my favourite activities.

Located just south of Sydney Airport, Brighton-Le-Sands Beach is part of Lady Robinsons Beach and is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a sunny reprieve with beautiful views. At the end of the beach, you are so close to Sydney International Airport that you can see the planes land and take off up close.
I’ve always loved this spot. You can get some amazing landing photos of planes, and the area is surrounded by a beautiful beach. Parking here is easy, and the walk to the plane spotting spot is straightforward. The beach is lively, filled with people fishing, and the nearby rock pools are great to explore and spot wildlife such as crabs, fish, and seagulls.


We walked along the rocks and found a perfect spot where we could see the planes take off and land. We saw some big aircraft, and the kids got incredibly excited.

We spent some time just waiting for the next plane and then the next. The thrill of watching each plane ascend and descend was exhilarating for the kids and nostalgic for us.

It was a beautiful sunny day with a clear blue sky, making it the perfect time to spend with the kids. The weather was ideal for plane spotting, and the joy on the kids’ faces was priceless. The sound of the waves crashing and the sight of the planes soaring made it a memorable experience.

On the way back to the car park, we stopped at the kids’ playground where the kids had a blast while we took a moment to rest. The playground was well-equipped and safe, providing a fun diversion for the little ones. It was a really nice family time together.

Have you ever been to Brighton-Le-Sands for plane spotting? Share your experience!

Have a nice weekend !!!

My parents are leaving

Posted on July 31, 2015 | 13 comments

6 months ago I was so happy and I wrote a post that my parents are coming to stay with us for 6 months. At that time 6 months seemed like a long time but now the time has passed and my parents are leaving this weekend.

Yes, it has been six months since their arrival. After their arrival, they organised my Dahi Chiura ceremony. They were here when we welcomed Chhori into this world and they were here for every small developments with Chhori till now.

We did manage to visit many places around Sydney with them. My mum loved Madame Tussad as well as other attraction like Sydney Sea life, Sydney tower, Featherdale National Park, Manly Sea Life, Sealife Sydney and many other places.

We celebrated Chhori’s Chhathi, Nawaran and Pasni, my mum’s birthday, dad’s birthday, their anniversary, our anniversary , Mother’s day and my nephew’s birthday while they were here.

I have got so used to having them around. It has been the longest time we have been together since I left Nepal to come here. As I was not working after the birth of Chhori, I got to spend heaps of time with them, I feel so lucky to have them around and see them enjoying their grandchildren.

I loved my mum’s cooking, conversation with my dad and spoiling them with small things. It felt so good to buy them things and see them happy.

But in few a days, all of these are coming to an end for now. I am not sure how I will manage without them.

Not only I but Chhori and my nephew will also miss them badly as they are so used to seeing and playing with their grandma and granddad.

For me it will be a nightmare as it will be the first time I will be left with Chhori on my own for a long period. As AS will be working it will be Chhori and I alone the whole day. Chhori is growing so fast and has started to roll over which means I can’t even seem to blink my eyes or look away from her and she starts to roll over. I am sure I will cry the first few days.

If things work out as planned, they promise to come back again in 6 months’ time. I am hoping it will happen but in the meantime, it will be all alone with my little on.

I know I am extremely lucky to have them here even for a short period as not everyone is as lucky to have their parents here to help them after child birth but even imagining their not being here makes me so sad.

Wish me luck that I will not go crazy. Any tips on how to look after a baby on my own will be highly appreciated. I hope to share the happy news about their arrival again soon.

Until my next post, take care everyone,
