About
Hello! Thank you for visiting Octavia and Vicky. My name is Kylie and this space is a where I share my passion for parenting, playing, creating, technology for grown ups and kids, food and enjoying the small things in life.
I am wife to Paul and mum to three year old ‘Pebble’, with bub number 2 due to arrive in early 2013. I juggle my time between being a mum and working part-time as a junior primary teacher, then trying to fit the rest of life in around those two BIG jobs. I also love to cook and eat, read and write, shop and surf (the net!). I live in Adelaide, Australia.
Meet Octavia and Vicky
I named my blog Octavia and Vicky after a story I wrote when I was five years old, about a spider named Octavia and her young friend, Vicky. You can read the story here.

I love that you named this blog after characters that you created when you were five!
Being a mum AND a primary school teacher – those are two very big jobs indeed!

I never realised you lived in Adelaide (I probably did and forgot!).
I was just talking with a friend earlier this week about how i have never been to Adelaide and/or Perth or Darwin and how I’d love to visit them all and explore our country :)

Why don’t you bring your original story of Octavia and Vicky to the present. Pebbles would probably love growing up with a book of a story her mum wrote, and Ian sure her many outings and family would treasure it. Why not?

I have thought about it, it’s an idea in the back of my mind. One day!
