Yesterday we told you about the collab we said yes to, then walked away from. Some of you might be wondering why we’d back out of something we’d already agreed to, or why we’ve turned down paid work while we’re still not paying ourselves.

Honestly? Because of these.

Some of them cost us. Most of them slow us down. But they’re the reason Little Sunny Coast is something we’re proud of, and hopefully something you trust 🧡

Have you ever visited somewhere because you saw it recommended on Facebook?

We know how much trust goes into that decision, especially when you're packing up the kids and planning a family day out.

Recently, Zara and I had to make a pretty uncomfortable decision about a collaboration we'd already agreed to. It wasn't easy, but it reminded us why we've always been so particular about what we share on Little Sunny Coast.

We absolutely love supporting local businesses, and we're so grateful that we get to do this as our job. But we never want you wondering whether we've recommended somewhere simply because a business has approached us.

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes, and we thought this was one story worth sharing.

Thank you for trusting us with your family adventures. We really don't take it for granted.

Rainy days with little kids are a whole lot easier when you've already got a few good places up your sleeve!

Because when the weather forecast is looking miserable and everyone's climbing the walls by 8am, the last thing you want to be doing is spend morning trying to figure out where to go.

We've spent a lot of time finding places around the Sunshine Coast that are actually worth leaving the house for, and these are three we'd happily recommend to another parent.

But we know three options won't get you through a whole week of rain, which is exactly why we've put together our Rainy Day Guide.

It's filled with 20 indoor and wet weather outing ideas across the northern, central and southern Sunshine Coast, with a mix of free and paid activities to suit different ages and budgets.

The full guide is waiting inside Sunny Club, along with plenty of other resources we've created to make planning days out with the kids that little bit easier.

Comment CLUB and we'll send you all the details.

And save this Reel for the next time the weather ruins your plans!

Babycinos: should they be free, or is $2 fair game?

Landsborough Historical Museum

📍 4 Maleny St, Landsborough
🗓️ Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 3pm
💲 Free entry

A free museum might not be the first place you’d think to take the kids, and honestly, it wasn’t ours either! But we decided to check out Landsborough Museum and were surprised by how much there was to discover about the place we call home.

👍🏻 Toilets
👍🏻 Shade
👍🏻 Parking- off street
👍🏻 Pram Friendly
❌ Grassy Area
❌ Tables + Chairs
❌ Dog Friendly
❌ Bites- available nearby
❌ Sips- available nearby

We think this is a good one to keep in mind for a rainy day, or even just when you’re looking for something a little different to do with the kids. They currently have The Night Sky exhibition on display, as well as a craft table with activities that change alongside the exhibitions, which is a nice little addition for the kids.

We spent around 1 hour and 15 minutes here, which gave us plenty of time to wander through and have a good look at everything. It’s only a small museum, so you definitely don’t need to set aside a whole day, but we found it really interesting learning more about our local history. The staff were also lovely and more than happy to have a chat!

They run family friendly events throughout the year too, so it’s worth checking their website to see what’s coming up.

OUR TIP: If you’ve got a bit more time, we’d recommend combining your visit with a stop at Pioneer Park for a play. It’s a great way to turn a little museum visit into a morning or afternoon out with the kids.

Had you ever considered taking the kids to Landsborough Museum?

You know that part of the afternoon when you've run out of ideas, everyone's getting a little tired and bedtime still feels a long way off? This is one of those little things that's been making our afternoons easier lately!

First up, this isn't paid or gifted. We bought these Honeysticks Bath Drops ourselves from Kuddly Kids in Buderim (or you can buy them online), and thought we'd share because sometimes it's the simplest ideas that make the biggest difference.

A pack of 27 costs around $20, but we've been breaking ours into quarters and they're still giving the bath plenty of colour. That means you could get 108 colourful baths out of one pack, for around 19 cents each!

The kids love choosing which colours to use, mixing them together and watching the water change, and we love that it's something fun for them that doesn't mean another activity to organise.

And in case you're wondering, we haven't had any issues with the colour staining our bath or needing to clean it afterwards. It can colour little fingers if they hold onto the drops though, which ours definitely do!

Just a little mum hack for those afternoons when you need something easy that doesn't cost much or create more work for you.

Save this one for the next time you're counting down to bedtime! 💛

If we had one day in Aura, here’s where we’d be heading!

One thing we love about Aura is just how many great spots there are for families with kids, especially when it comes to playgrounds. Every time we visit, it feels like there’s somewhere new to explore!

From playgroup and a coffee stop to spotting wildlife around the ponds at Aura Brook, there are plenty of ways to fill a morning or make a whole day of it.

And we’ve only included a handful of the playgrounds we love, because there are honestly so many good ones!

Save this for your next family adventure, and if you’re an Aura local, we’d love to know your favourite spot that we should check out next?

Please check individual venues for opening days and times before visiting, particularly playgroup sessions.
