I often receive praise for my tasty meals and I am always very surprised to receive such praise. I mean really?!? All I did was read a recipe!!! (Although, having said that I do believe that if you alter an existing recipe by more than 3 ingredients then you are able to claim it as… Continue reading Bianca's Cooking Tips

Flanagan Reserve (near Mt Barney)
Ok, I have decided to stop going in chronological order for my camping reviews and have decided to review a more recent spot while all the tiny details are fresh in my mind.Flanagan Reserve is about 20 minutes past Rathdowney (if you are heading from Brisbane). We have been there twice now and really like… Continue reading Flanagan Reserve (near Mt Barney)
Resources, Programs & Teaching Methods I Use
I am quite often asked about which programs I use for language and math so I thought I'd write a blog about them. It has been 15 years since I began studying teaching at uni and 11 years since I became a fully qualified teacher. In that time I have seen so many changes to… Continue reading Resources, Programs & Teaching Methods I Use
Finding Bianca
This blog is dedicated to the long and arduous journey I have been on in search of who I really am.I began life with the notion that everyone had to fit into a certain 'mould' or 'category'. Not being very confident in who I was I made it my quest to discover which niche I… Continue reading Finding Bianca
Andrew Drynan Reserve
Andrew Drynan Reserve is near Rathdowney. We went in the June of 09 and practically had the place to ourselves. This may be because everyone else knew better than to camp in the FREEZING cold. Actually it wasn't as cold as Giraween had been, just one month earlier.There isn't a lot to do at the… Continue reading Andrew Drynan Reserve

We went there for the mothers day weekend in 09.There are tons of walks to do at Giraween. We spent the majority of our weekend trekking… Continue reading Giraween

One question, that never ceases to annoy me, is the question that is perpetually asked by every person you come into contact with who finds out you homeschool. "What about socialisation??" Their words try to come out sounding very casual but the look on their face tells a different story. They have the same sort… Continue reading But what about socialisation???
Peach Trees
Peach Trees has to be one of my top 5 places to camp. It is located near Jimna, Sunshine Coast hinterland. We had a great time camping here. There are a few short walks you can do and a few 4wd tracks around. The campsites are extremely grassy. It has that lovely thick green grass… Continue reading Peach Trees
Cania Gorge
Cania Gorge was an amazing place to camp. We chose stay at 'Cania Gorge Tourist Retreat'. There is also a Big 4 campground just down the road. They are fairly similarly priced, but the Tourist Retreat is so much more spacious and private. Our campsite was nestled away in the back of the park and… Continue reading Cania Gorge
Imbil Deer Park
I went to Imbil Deer Park about 2 weeks after my dad died. I wanted to get away for a while and try to escape from what happened. But it didn't work. Camping just gave me more time to process that he had gone and I spent most of the trip in tears. Ben, who… Continue reading Imbil Deer Park
