    Just a tip, if you're cooking over fire its best to cook over charcoals, which is when the wood burns down into black pieces that are just glowing. Usually an open fire is too hot and inconsistent heat to cook properly which is how the outside can be burned while the inside is almost raw.

    Teeth brushing toddlers:
    I found it helps if I let my little one "brush" my teeth while I brush hers, just gives her the feeling of being more in control I guess? Also just the more she sees us do it the more comfortable she seems to be with doing it herself.
    All in all with time it will get easier ❤
    Love from one travel momma to another ❤

      @@flyingthenest Hunter also seems like she likes a good laugh...
      Our son is 16 months old and we don't even say "Let's brush your teeth"= instant meltdown.
      We just say "Let's splash Mommy/Momma."
      And then we pull the toothbrush Out of his mouth relativly quickly and the mom getting fake-splashed has to do her best being all bothered about it, funny "eek" - sounds and all.
      That's how we get the front teeth and we do the ones in the back while he is laughing his head off about us pretend-wiping our pretend-wet faces.
      Does my explanation make any sense? 🙈

    Tip for brushing teeth! See what Jess is doing at 23:11 where she holds hunter backwards? get Stephen to stand at her head and brush her teeth upside down. She will find it hilarious! We do that with one of us sitting on the toilet 😂 sometimes just the person standing at the head end appearing upside down is enough of a distraction on its own! Teeth brushing can definitely be a two person job some days!

    hi steven and jess & little hunter ✨
    hope you stay in nsw for a little while because i’ve been stuck away from australia for the past two years and i’m coming to nsw very soon (maybe 3 or 4 days!) so i was hoping i could meet you guys and little hunter as well 🦋
    love you all and i hope you stay safe 🤍
