Boo!

Hey there Reader!

I take a lot of pictures. But I’m sure you could have guessed that by now.

But want to see one of my favourite pictures?

Joyce's kids in their Halloween costumes

This is a picture of my kids dressed up for Halloween. I love it because of the memory behind it.

Determined not to spend money on a throwaway costume but having ZERO sewing skills, I decided to make a cardboard costume instead.

The kids were thrilled – and we got many positive comments as we walked down Yarraville Village.

I know that as parents and carers we are always hoping to create happy memories for our kids.

That’s why I love helping you discover the best of Melbourne + Victoria for families, week after week.

Here’s to more fun!

Joyce xx

PS. Hit reply with a snapshot of the Halloween costumes your kids have been rocking, if you feel comfy with that. I’d love to see your family!
