My name is Krystl and I’m an Aussie who moved to London in 2015 to teach and explore Europe. 9 years later and I’m married with a 3 year old called Alexandra and a Pomsky named Hunter. We like to post about all sorts of things - food, days out, toys, everyday activities and fun play ideas. I love showing what we get up to and I love connecting with other mums online and sharing ideas and advice.
The top 5 on my wish list are…
I absolutely love DIY advent calendars. I’m an organiser and enjoy doing things myself, so this was definitely going to be on my list. Most years, I buy the standard chocolate calendars or the licensed ones where there’s a book etc, but this year I’ve seen so many fun ways of making it yourself which can be more exciting. Including things inside such as cards that say particular activities (baking, dance party, trip to the zoo, etc), little bits you can find at Poundland or even a hair accessory makes it much more fun and it’s something they’ll actually use 😅
I absolutely love this jumper! Alex has had a koala toy ever since she was a baby and still has it to this day. It’s that little memory of home and remembering our Aussie roots! The party hat on top makes it special to me because it reminds me of her birthday - my little baby koala!
Who doesn’t love a good bag right? I’m always on the search for a bag that holds my stuff and Alex’s. Something that’s stylish but still big enough to hold everything. I’m a sucker for a black bag but this really caught my eye! The colour is beautiful, stands out and the writing just compliments it.
YES YES YES! I swear I say this at least 3 times a day. This makes me laugh every time I read it. I’m sure I know I can’t be the only one right?! 😅
It’s snuggle season! I offen say to Alex, “Let’s snuggle!” Being in London, it gets really cold in winter and I’m that type of person who just likes to put her pjs straight on after work, fluffy socks, dressing gown and sit all snuggled up on the couch winding down from a long day. The colder months I also tend to drink a lot more warmer drinks, so this cup just resonates with me so much.
About the author
As a fellow Aussie mum living in the UK I naturally gravitated towards Krystl and her account. I love finding funny, super nice and relatable mum accounts so it was an added bonus she’s also from the homeland. Her & her account are fun, friendly, full of great play ideas and just lovely, authentic and relatable mum content. It makes me smile when her posts pop up on my feed and I just know you all love following her too. You can find her instagram here
