Who says winter days or nights need to be spent indoors… School holidays don’t need to be a loooong drag of constantly thinking what indoor activity to do next.. Thanks to the City of Perth, there is lots to get excited about during these colder times, like, Winter Fest, on 30th June - 29th July! The city has put together lots of activities for the kids to do during the school holidays, in which I am excited to share some of these with you.

I am one of those mum’s who’s all about eating healthy, well sort off… So long as there is some healthy eating amongst all the fun.
Primal Pantry are offering $7 for Soup & Garlic bread from 10am to 2pm. The soup comes in a coffee cup and the Garlic bread is super tasty, not too garlic in flavour, perfect to dip in the bread. The novelty was drinking soup from a coffee cup.
Then of course.. there is a treat after all that healthy eating, there are many options for this too during Winter Fest, check out the Winter Fest Eat & Drink section on the City of Perth website.
Happy Winter Fest and School Holiday time to you!!
