New Year's Eve fireworks safety tips

#AD

With the end of the year fast approaching and New Year’s Eve on the horizon many people are already starting to plan how to welcome in 2020.

Whether you are having a quiet night in, small gathering or attending a big New Year’s Eve bash, it is difficult not to notice the sound and sights of fireworks being set off across the world to say goodbye to 2019 and welcome in the new year.

As fireworks are a popular way to celebrate a new year here are a few tips on how to have a safe new year’s eve fireworks celebration- 

Sublime Cedar Planked Salmon cooked on a barbecue

With the summer school holidays coming to an end and momentous times ahead for both of our children with our eldest moving to a junior school and our youngest starting infant school, we are going to end the holidays on a high with a big celebratory BBQ.

We love a BBQ with friends and family. Tasty food, great company and garden games for the kids (big kids too) to enjoy in lovely summer weather makes for a fantastic time for all. As we have been so busy over the summer holidays it is also a great excuse to catch up with our nearest and dearest before the back to school routine kicks in.

Ideas to Celebrate Your 50th Birthday on a Cruise

Hitting your 50 is a major achievement and it calls for a grand celebration!

And what can be better for the Australians than celebrating this fantastic event on a cruise? In fact, birthday cruises are an excellent way of celebrating birthdays, rejoicing with your loved ones and having the time of your life.

Aside from the fact that celebrating your birthday on a cruise adds so much value and prestige to your event, the best thing about it is that you don’t have to spend hours and hours planning the event. You just have to gather some friends and show up yourself. For more details about cruise birthdays you can visit sydneyprincesscruises.com.au/party-cruises.

My Wedding Scrapbook.

Lee and I will have been engaged for 4 years in June this year.  Whilst our wedding may not be planned for the near future it does not stop me dreaming about and planning our big day.

If money was no problem here is what I would love for my wedding day where I would marry my soul mate in front of our loved ones with Bug and maybe if we are lucky other children of ours at our side.

The first thing that I would like to do is get a new engagement ring to replace my beloved yet broken engagement ring.  I would love a vintage inspired ring and if I had the money I would especially love a Vintage engagement ring from Romance Diamond Bridal Collection to sit next to a delicate diamond wedding ring.

Planning a Spooktacular Halloween Party.

Towards the end of this year we a lot of celebrations happening, a number of birthdays including my mum’s 50th for which we are having a big party, a family friend’s wedding, my anniversary with Lee and of course Christmas.  As there is a lot happening over the next few months I am trying to be organised and plan ahead to hopefully prevent any last minute disasters so that all celebrations can be lots of fun and stress free.

As we have a number of family members and close friends celebrating their birthdays about the same time as Halloween we have decided to have a spooktacular Halloween party that will not only be a celebration of Halloween but also a celebration of all the birthdays happening just before and after Halloween.

As Bug is getting older even though we do not want to introduce him to the scary side of Halloween we do want to introduce him to a wider spectrum of the Halloween season having only dressed him up before in cute Halloween outfits (last year he was a Spooky Cute Spider).  We think the Spooktacular Halloween Party we will be having with friends and family that will be full of fun Halloween costumes, tasty food with a Halloween twist, Halloween themed books and films with a soft spooky side is a great way to introduce him to the fun of Halloween in a friendly, fun environment with people he knows and loves.

In an attempt to be organised and help make the Halloween party terrific I have been browsing the internet for ideas for costumes, food and entertainment.
