As a family with two little boys we said good bye to our family, friends, playgroup, beaches, playgrounds and everything we held dear for a two year adventure. Destination: Denver, Colorado. What did we know about it? John Denver liked it around here didnt he?

Toddlers embrace a new world with the wonder, enthusiasm and passion. Charlie said to me the other day. "Mum I just learnt about fall, its like autumn... but do pumpkins fall from the sky in fall?" I want to look at this adventure with the same sense of fun. So this is my attempt....

What to pack if you are starting again.

In case anyone is ever starting again in a new country and apart from suitcases, is only shipping one box of luggage...here is a list of things I wish I had packed instead of clothes.  They are small but expensive to replace when you get there..


  • A few knives from knife set
  • My best bottle opener /can opener/grater/peeler/ice cream scoop
  • Jewelry that reminds me of people or places
  • kitchen scales
  • rolling pin (no a tall glass is not just as good)
  • Pepper grinder
  • good scissors
  • Thermos
  • All the boys small cars
  • All the boys small lego
  • Packs of game cards out of boxes
  • Stovetop espresso pot
  • Nice little bowls that you put mayo/butter/lime wedges in on the table.
Hope this is useful to someone someday.
