🏖️ BEACH TOYS WANTED! 🪣🐚☀️

Hey beautiful island people! 💕
We’re putting together a little Beach Toy Box for the kids to use and enjoy at the beach. We’ve checked our local Vinnies but unfortunately they don’t have any at the moment, so we thought we’d ask the community before buying everything new.
If you have any buckets, spades, sand moulds, beach trucks, balls or other beach toys sitting at home that your kids have outgrown or simply don’t use anymore, we’d LOVE to give them a second life!
Nothing fancy and no need to buy anything, we’re just looking for unwanted toys that are still in good, safe condition.

You can drop any donations at Tropical Tide Cafe 💕
Hopefully we can build a cute little community beach box for our island kids! 🌊🪣🐠

Grazie ☺️

Two years.

I've been trying to write this post for days, and every version sounded... wrong.
How do you fit two years of your life into a Facebook post?

Tropical Tide has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. It's also been one of the best.
There have been mornings where I've watched the sunrise thinking, "I've actually done it." And there have been afternoons where I've sat in the truck wondering if I had anything left in me.

People see the coffee, the food, the pretty location. They don't see the flat tyres, the breakdowns, the last-minute disasters, the weather, the paperwork, the stress, or the million little problems that somehow appear every single week.
The funny thing is... every time something went wrong, someone appeared.
Someone helped fix the truck.
Someone pumped up a tyre.
Someone fixed something.
Someone kept an eye on the truck while I couldn't.
Someone gave me advice.
Someone stayed to help pack and unpack.
Someone bought a coffee they probably didn't even need because they wanted to support me.

I don't think Tropical Tide has ever really been just my business.
It belongs a little bit to everyone who's stopped, helped, supported, encouraged, recommended me, or simply kept coming back.

You probably think it was "just a small favour."
To me, it was another reason I could open again the next day ❤️

Then there's Roo 🥰
I honestly don't know where I'd be without him.
He walked into my life without asking for anything, and somehow ended up carrying so much of this dream with me.
He has solved problems before I even knew they existed, listened to me when I was ready to give up, and somehow managed to put up with me through all the chaos.
But more than helping the truck... he helped me.
He gave me confidence when I'd lost it and gave me peace when my head was too loud.
He reminded me that it's okay to stop, breathe and keep going tomorrow.
I'm not just grateful for everything he has done for Tropical Tide, I'm grateful because he has helped me become a happier, calmer and stronger version of myself ❤️

Two years ago I thought I was building a food truck.
Turns out, it was the people around it that were building me.
So... thank you

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

You didn't just support a small business.
You changed someone's life.

Happy 2nd birthday, Tropical Tide. 🌴💙

Aaaww 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️

What a year!!

This week marks one year since taking a leap of faith and starting my electrical business on beautiful Magnetic Island. Looking back, I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support from this amazing community and everyone who has trusted me with their homes and businesses.

Somewhere along the way, this little coffee stop also became part of my daily ritual. Every morning starts here with a great coffee, a friendly smile, and a chance to appreciate another sunrise on Maggie before heading off to work. It’s the simple things that make island life so special.

And as if celebrating one year in business wasn’t enough… I’m also turning 50!

This milestone has me feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunities, the challenges, the people I’ve met, and the life I’ve built here. Now it’s time to put the tools down for a couple of days and celebrate surrounded by family and friends.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me over the past year. Here’s to good coffee, great people, island life, and whatever the next chapter brings!
