AD | Got the pool to ourselves πŸ™ŒπŸ’¦ #winningat AD | Got the pool to ourselves πŸ™ŒπŸ’¦ #winningatlife It's so easy to get carried away and try and cram as many activities as possible into our stay here, but we hope to be travelling all summer and we've learned from previous travels that chill days are important. So today we mostly hung out at our campsite - lots of pool action, reading, and kids club - then we took the bikes into the village for ice-cream. It's only 1km into Le Bourg-d'Oisans and there are lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from, and cyclists everywhere! I thought for a moment I should get some lyrca to fit in, but then tucked into my ice-cream 😜🍧. #lebourgdoisans #travelFrance #familytravel #vanfamtribe #vanlifeeurope #thealps #explorefrance

Do you like posed or natural pics? Here’s a pho Do you like posed or natural pics? Here’s a photo of my motley crew from Father’s Day enjoying a crazy moment together on the beach. This is half posed, half natural I guess, but I think I like the natural ones. I feel like I get the best pics this way. And this was right before my three munchkins started to fill their shoes with the pebbles on the beach 😊 Funnily enough I had a conversation about how sandy beaches are so much better than pebble beaches today. What do you think? Is a Sandy beach better? #sandybeach #sandybeaches #pebblebeach #southendbeach #southendonsea #southend #whatdoyouthink #familyshot #familyphotography #familypic #motleycrew #dayatthebeach #naturalpic #posedpic #posesforpictures #welltravelledmunchkins #welltravelledlife #welltravelledkids #daysout #essex #essexdaysoutwithkids #kidsexplore #travelblogger #familylove #timetogether #ourtribetravels #daysouttogether

We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We were thinking about staying here then, before we knew it, the country was on lockdown and all flights were suspended so the decision was taken out of our hands. I feel good about being here. We are in a very welcoming, family run hotel who have said they will look after us for as long as we are here. They cook for us, we have a balcony, a roof terrace and a small garden, we can leave to get food and medicine and we have Internet, phew! One of the biggest reasons I’m happy we’re here is that it’s not that much of a change for Honor. Yes, she knows we can’t go out for walks or play dates (there is another British family with two boys Honor’s age riding this thing out in a hotel over the road from us), but being together as a family of three, living in a small space, in a hotel, FaceTiming grandma and grandad and homeschooling are very normal to her. I couldn’t imagine the heart ache she would have experienced if we had returned to the UK and then had to tell her she couldn’t see anyone or play with her friends. So here we are, we don’t know how long we’ll be here, all we know is that we’ll have to wait a little bit longer than we expected for our hugs with friends and family and grandma’s Sunday roast. . . . . #silverlinings #cosmickidsyoga #lockdownnepal #lockdown #stuckinnepal #nepalwithkids #travelkids #fulltimetravel #fulltimetravelfamily #backpackingfamily #nomadicfamily #ourtribetravels #nepal

β€œYou can never cross the ocean until you have th β€œYou can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore” ~ Christoper Columbus What a week this little man has had! He received an amazing school report which not only praised his accelerated academic progress this year but more importantly to us, celebrated his increase in resilience and confidence. He then turned 9 and was able to celebrate with his fab group of friends. And to top it off, within half an hour of finishing the school year, we’d packed the car up and driven six hours down to Cornwall! We’ve had a slow start to the holiday exploring our local beach and the nearest town. Unfortunately I’m not feeling 100% which is a rubbish way to start our holiday but I’m keeping everything crossed that after a good night’s sleep, I’ll be firing on all cylinders for a fun day out tomorrow.

We try to teach Eloise the importance of small act We try to teach Eloise the importance of small acts of kindness and how they go along way. It was amazing for her to see us on the receiving end of abundant honesty and good will. As I mentioned, when we arrived to Panama City Panama I realized my wallet was gone. We searched high and low, and thought it fell out in the customs conveyor belt. We knew there was a chance it could have fallen out in the cab, but less likely, plus we paid in cash and didn’t have the name of the cab company to reach out. The next morning I received a call that my taxi driver was waiting downstairs and had my wallet. He obviously knew where he dropped us off, and waited 40 mins downstairs (they had to contact our host and then me) until he could personally hand deliver it to me. I was floored by his kindness, he had nothing to gain by returning my wallet. Yes, it is the right thing to do, but he could have just as easily turned it into his company and let me worry about it instead of going on a wild goose chase to get it back to me! It was so kind and reminded me that there are truly selfless people, kind, good hearted people out there! ❀️❀️❀️ PS: ironic side note- yesterday we got in a Uber and hidden in the side door I found another passengers wallet and made sure the Uber driver had it to return to them! 1-what goes around comes around! 2-we all need to do a better job taking care of our sh*t! πŸ€ͺ

Now that I think of it 🧐 Eloise also told the waitress at the farm yesterday that SHE was her best friend.... and she told a neighboring table in Croatia that her cousin Gigi was her bestie... and the Marco from the pool in Costa Rica was her BF....and the boy that kicked her the soccer ball one time in Split... oh and the random sculpture in the center of town....also all her best friends! πŸ€” I am beginning to think her and I have different definitions of what best friends means....but WE are the bestest friends!

ALL IN THE DETAIL // Are you a planner when travel ALL IN THE DETAIL // Are you a planner when travelling with little ones or do you just go with the flow? One of the main reasons for setting up this account was to consolidate all the research I’ve undertaken over the years whilst travelling with my girls. . This photo was taken at the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi when we visited in October. As we were only in the Middle East for 6 nights I researched before we left the UK so I knew the times and days it was open and also whether it was child friendly. A full write up is included in my stories if you wish to take a read. . . In short, it’s a stunningly beautiful place, definitely worth a visit and we found it absolutely fine with the children.

She is missing her big sister like mad! They’ve spent every minute together for nearly 3 months and have become so close ❀️ . For any parents who have waved off little ones to school or nursery over the last couple of weeks, how are they getting on? Have you still got any children at home and how are they coping? I’m looking forward to next week when we can start using playgrounds again in the UK. Hopefully I can fill our days and distract my youngest 🀞🏻 . I’m sharing this photo as my eldest was so brilliant on this day trip to the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It was deceptively busy (we were ahead of the crowds in this shot!) and she guided her through the one-way system without me even asking.

Another beach photo, this time from our time on th Another beach photo, this time from our time on the Gower peninsula at half term. Lots of people recommended Three Cliffs Bay to me (including silvernuggetadventure who gave me loads of really helpful recommendations for our trip and thevanfam3 too). . It was every bit as beautiful as everyone told me. If you're not familiar with this beach then you might not be aware that the nearest parking is a mile away from the beach! It's definitely worth the walk. . I spent a bit of time reading up before hand on where to park and what the walk was like to help work out if it was practical with young kids (it's suitable for young kids but don't attempt a pram and certainly have a think about how much stuff you want to carry). . Yesterday I published my own blog post which answers all the questions I had so if you're heading there this summer head to the link in my profile to find out more. . Would you still visit a beach that you have to walk a mile to get to? Some of our favourite Welsh beaches involve a bit of a walk to get there. . #wildlingexplorers #ukexplore #familieswhotravel #familytravel #wishes_and_wanderlust #travelwithkids #daysoutwithkids #daysoutwiththekids #fearlessfamtrav #familytravelblog #snaphappybritmums #ourtribetravels #vanlifewithkids #mazdabongoowners #vanfamtribe #beautifulbritain #gowerpeninsula #gowercoast #wildandfreekids #wildhoodadventures #walkingwithkids #littleadventuredays #exploretheoutdoorswithus #explorerkids #whatevertheweatherkids #countrykidsfun #curiouslittleexplorers #theminiadventurehub
