Friday Roundup

The Palace of Versailles from Natalie & Jonathon’s Honeymoon to Paris and Italy

Easter is heading our way fast, and it’s at this time that I start thinking – holiday! Of course, so does the rest of Australia, but there is something exciting about a 4 day weekend to get your mind clicking over. A jaunt to the winery region? Perhaps a beachside retreat if the weather is good? Do you think I could make it all the way to Paris? What are you planning for the Easter break?

Apart from dreaming of exotic destinations, we’ve been busy bunnies this week, bringing you a heap of fun and inspiration on our specialty blogs. If you missed any, they’re right here in the roundup for your enjoyment!
