Pepsi Next is the new breed of cola. Pepsi Next has naturally less sugar*, it’s sweetened naturally with stevia and, of course, has the great cola taste you love. |

The Most Amazing Man likes to remind me occasionally that the reason we live where we do, in amongst all this urbanity, is so we can take advantage of all the really cool things living in the city has to offer. We’re always looking for something to do. We frequent night markets, fetes and fairs. We attend community events and make small talk with dozens of different people.
I love it. And I’m positive it’s good for my kids. They see so much life here every day. Every time we leave the house they are immersed in a melting pot of cultures and lifestyles and languages and music. It feels like a community here. We’re in the city suburbs, but we know people here. People look out for my kids. I look out for theirs.
We have become those people that look out for posters and flyers and advertisements in the school newsletter. And we find so many fun things to do.
Two excited kidlets.
We find ourselves at the movies. Outdoors, in the summer twilight. We take our picnic set up, pillows and blankets for the kidlets. We sit under the darkening sky and watch two dozen children play together in the playground before the movie starts. It smells like sausages sizzling and the whole place sounds like friendly laughter.
We watch The Labyrinth, and The Most Amazing Man and I relive the best parts of our childhood. Watching a whole new generation of kids enjoy a movie that I loved myself at their age is awesome. Watching my own kids enthralled in it is even better.
Cuddled up there, with one child besotted and the other fast asleep, surrounded by community, under the inky sky with a few bright twinkling stars… we feel like a family.
And that’s awesome, too.
One very cute, very sleepy boy.
