A Mum’s Space.


O

n Saturday morning we packed up our bag {yes one bag, I’m finally mastering packing light} to head off for a Staycation. As you may well know by now, I love nothing more than staying in hotels {or is it motels? I’m always getting in trouble from Big Sis for saying the wrong one}. I love being away from everything. Hubby had just one rule: no computer.



Since I’ve started working from home, I’m always on my computer. I take it everywhere with me. But not on our weekend away, it seems. {Which I was thankful for, to be honest}.

The lovely people at Mumspace offered my little family a weekend away to a Medina of our choice. King Street Wharf was our Medina of choice. It’s right in the middle of everything.
We checked in early, because if there is one certainty in life, it’s that my little family are always annoyingly early. Luckily our room was ready. We met with a man in the lift who asked: “Room 91? I have some toys for you”.

{Lacey loving the toys}

The toys were a real hit. So much so that she woke three times during the night, sat bolt upright and said, “Toys!”


{Yay! This is where I’ll keep you up most of the night!}

{Checking out the view}
It was like having a home away from home. Milk in the fridge? Check. Toys to entertain the toddler? Check. Football on the TV? Check. Newspapers delivered to the door? Check. Housekeeping at our beck and call? Check. Okay, those last two I don’t have at home… but it’s only a matter of time. Kidding.

{A little visit to the Lindt cafe}

{Our loot}
We wandered all over the harbourside, had lunch, saw the papparazzi waiting for Ashton Kutcher, played tourist and had fun in the sun.
By the time dinner rolled around we were zonked, so we ordered sushi to our room and had a quiet night in. It would have been near impossible to drag Lacey away from the toys, anyway. She even bathed with them.

We sat on the balcony, watched the sunset and enjoyed spending time together. It was nice to just get away from it all, yet to be near it all as well.

  2. I love a good staycation.
    Used to do it a lot back home – but that was mostly just to get away from our horrid flat with the endless dishes.

  5. Your post makes me yearn for a night in a good hotel. I always thinks staying in a hotel in your own city is a highly underrated experience. It allows you to appreciate your home town just a little more and experience things you wouldn't normally. I hope you had fun at the Lindt cafe – they have so many yummy things there!

  7. Love these pics Chantelle. Sounds like you had an absolutely perfect staycation. The hotel looks gorgeous too. Cassie x

  11. We stayed at this exact same place a couple of months ago as a little weekend away before bub #2 arrives. It was wonderful, glad you had a good time. Wishing I had of chekced out the Lint factory now : )

  12. We used to looooove hotels / motels (I think you drive up to a motel and walk up in a hotel!?). With 3 young 'uns those days are a wee bit over. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves so much.

    This is way too cute, Chantelle. I read all of your posts but don't often comment, but this was too cute to pass up.
