Following on from part one of my emigration to do list (which covered everything we did before we left to UK for our new life in Australia), here is part two, which is an emigration checklist of all the things you need to do when you arrive in Australia. We were clearly deluded into thinking the hard part was leaving the UK. Of course, the emotional side of things was very difficult, and so was the sheer amount of admin we had to do to close our lives down. But nothing prepared us for the busy . . . Keep Reading
Can children adapt to change? #MyExpatFamily linky

Sibling love: The ordinary moments
I couldn't pick one ordinary moment from the last week as there were too many good ones, so you've got two instead! Both are along the theme of sibling love. The first is a cute kiss between T1 and E. A while ago, she started giving really big kisses to everyone.
