10 Ways to Create Awesome Memories

Don’t they grow up fast? At Micro, we know this better than anyone. That’s why we’re all about helping you create meaningful moments with your kids—those everyday memories that last a lifetime.

We asked a few mums to share their favourite ways to make magical memories with their little ones—and they came back with some absolute gems. The best part? These don’t require expensive holidays or over-the-top plans. Just a sprinkle of creativity, a dash of fun, and time spent together.

Here are 10 simple but powerful ways to build lasting memories with your kids:

1. Share What You Love

Whether you’re into cooking, music, or even riding a Harley—share your passions with your kids. They may not love it right away, but they’ll remember that you invited them into your world.

“My mum was a bit of a badass—she used to ride a Harley Davidson and would pick us up from school on it. That was pretty cool.”
— Stevie @mytribeofsix, rides a Micro Classic

2. Turn Errands Into Adventures

Even a quick trip to the shops can become an exciting adventure with scooters. Explore your local park, head to the beach, or just take a new route—fresh air and a sense of discovery do wonders.

“I used to love visiting our beach house in the Coromandel. We spent hours rock climbing and exploring the beach.”
— Kellie @kellie.pardoe, rides a Micro Speed+Deluxe

3. Cook (and Make a Mess) Together

Food is a love language. Cooking together may get a little messy, but those shared moments are worth every dish in the sink.

“My mother loved to cook. She showed us how much she loved us through every meal she made.”
— Chelsea @momentsaday, rides a Micro Speed

4. Scoot Together

Scooting levels the playing field—it’s fun, active, and full of spontaneous races. It's also a great way to sneak in exercise and bond over shared experiences.

“My kids are obsessed with scootering. We walk almost everywhere, so they always bring their scooters. The best part is how happy they are to share it with me.”
— Rosie @fivelittlebird, rides a Micro Classic

5. Make Time for One-on-One Moments

Carving out dedicated time with each child—whether it's a morning scoot to school or a weekend outing—helps them feel seen and special.

“We scoot to school every morning. It’s been our tradition since day one, and I already know it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.”
— Kate @happyellaafter, rides a Micro Classic

6. Say Yes to Their Interests

Get involved in what they love—whether that’s scooting, Minecraft, or crafts. Their joy is infectious.

“The boys love scooting, and they were stoked that I could finally join in! My youngest has been riding since he was two—it’s so easy and safe for little ones to learn.”
— Jacqueline @cool_dudes_nz, rides a Micro Speed

7. Let Them Be the Teacher

Flip the script—let your kids teach you something. It empowers them, builds confidence, and shows you value their knowledge.

“My sons were so excited to see me on a scooter—my 7-year-old couldn’t wait to teach me tricks!”
— Chelsea @momentsaday

8. Get Creative

Art and craft projects don’t have to be fancy—just fun. The memories are in the making.

“As a primary teacher, I’m always crafting, puzzling, or just chatting with my kids. I love walking to the shops and talking about all the plants and flowers we see along the way.”
— Kate

9. Be Mindful (and Put the Phone Down)

Forget the to-do list. Step outside, hop on a scooter, and just be with your kids. No distractions, just connection.

“Scooting with the kids makes me feel like a big kid again too. We forget the grown-up stuff and just enjoy life together.”
— Stevie @mytribeofsix

10. Celebrate the Everyday

The little things are the big things. Scooting to Grandma’s house, laughing over crafts, or just talking about your day—it all counts.

Spotlight on Chelsea Lee Smith – @momentsaday

Chelsea, mum of three and author of momentsaday.com.au, shares her reflections on motherhood, mindfulness, and scooting with her kids:

“My mum made us feel so loved through food. I didn’t realise how much time and energy she put into it until I became a mum myself.”

“I try to take the kids on special outings now and then—ice cream, movies, or just exploring. A few laughs go a long way.”

“We play games, cook, read, and cuddle a lot. Scooting is something new we all enjoy. My kids love seeing me ride—and trying to teach me tricks!”

“Scooting gives me a chance to show I’m committed to their interests. It’s our new favourite way to connect.”
