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

Hands up if you love a model village 🙋🏼‍♀️? I don’t know what it is about them but I find them so charming and they transport you into such an idyllic way of living. bekonscotofficial certainly stole one of the top spots of a local (ish) day out for us. You could easily spend a couple of hours there wandering through the different scenes and spotting the meticulous attention to detail and a ride on the miniature train is an absolute must 🚂. We’ll definitely be returning! #amwfparentingtribe1 #discoverunder3k #bekonscotmodelvillage #bekonscot #beaconsfield #daysoutwiththekids #daytripsfromlondon #familytravelblogger #familytravelblog #familytravelbloggers #easterholidayfun #schoolholidays #travelfamily #familydaysout #ourtribetravels #visitbritain #ukmummybloggers #ukparentbloggers #instatravelblog #uktravelblogger #discoverengland #discoveruk #screenfreekids #homecounties #littleadventurefamily #daysoutwithkids #weekdayadventures #myfamilyadventures #happymemories #domorewithyourkids

I headed off to the east coast of Singapore on Thu I headed off to the east coast of Singapore on Thursday to spend some time in the #joochiat area. It’s not the first time I’ve been there, and I hope it won’t be the last! The colours yesterday just POPPED under a very hot sun and a brilliant blue sky. I felt so lucky to be able to get out and explore when so many of our friends and family are under lockdown or snowed in. It’s easy not to do anything (or just not to post about it) because I feel guilty or worry that it will upset people. But the truth is I lived vicariously through everyone travelling last summer and the pictures kept me going. The reason I’m a travel writer is because travelling gives me purpose and without it I feel lost. So I’m hoping my feed can inspire your wanderlust from my remote corner of the world and, if it can, then I hope these colours can bring you some joy today 🥰 #joochiat #joochiatroad #discoversingapore #visitsingapore #singaporetourism #expatlife #domestictravel #colouryourlife #girlslovetravel #womenwhotravel #nomadicnetwork #travelphotocourse #ourtribetravels #fearlessfamtrav

All great men, have their protégé. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ All great men, have their protégé. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This daddy has two. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are of, perhaps, the generation presented with the most unlimited youthful expectations on what we could be. Which is wonderful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But we are also possibly, ironically, the generation with the least proportion of our lives focussed on preparing to be parents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The rule of thumb, the advice seemed to be universally: "don't get pregnant, young". Or "don't get someone pregnant". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That hardly calibrates your internal expectations, or hints at the skiis needed for one of the most important collective responsibilities or necessities of a biological population, let alone what is required of an advanced civilization. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether you're raising young men, or young women, good luck to all the parents our there. No matter the parents you are, or that you've had, know that it isn't where you start that counts, but where you get to that is important-- and that life long learning is the most rewarding journey.

“Collect moments, not things.” I have this quo “Collect moments, not things.” I have this quote sitting on my desk on a beautiful wooden plaque that my late husband and I picked up on one of our trips to Key West. It is such a great reminder to make moments. . Since the new moon last week, I’ve felt some shifts…creative energy shifts. It reminded me I am in control of my life. I can turn dreams into realities. So I started thinking about what I wanted for the remainder of this year. I mean, its been a crap shoot of a year so far, am I right? I wanted to be specific about my intentions and make them really freaking awesome. . I decided I wanted to adventure more. I love camping, being outside, hiking, watching the sunset, sitting my a fire, waking up and having a cup of hot coffee outside. I try to incorporate all of this in our lives at home, but some times you just need a chance of scenery. . I’ve started researching bigger cars, ones that can tow a small trailer. Trailer with a bathroom, heat and air conditioning are a must. I know, I’m more of a glamper than a camper, but if mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy. lol. I own it. I’m ok with that. 😉 . So as I plan out our fall and maybe even winter activities, I’m curious to know where are your favorite places to visit? Northeast, down south, out west, doesn’t matter..What we don’t get to this fall, we’ll plan for next year. I’m thinking a National Park trip in the next year or so..🏕 . So take a second to daydream or reminisce. Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the states or Canada. Lakeside? Beaches? Mountains? I’d love to hear all the details of your magical places!✨ #travelgram #trailers #traileradventures #traveltheworldwithme #travelwithkids #justtravel #thebestdestinations #glampinglife #lifeisanadventure #adventureenthusiasts #findyouradventure #outdoorclassroom #beachcamping #lakecamping #mountaincamping #bestcamping #bestcampingadventures #campingwithkids #womantraveler #familytravels #familyadventure #ourtribetravels #kidsthattravel

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

Only a few days until our first big trip of the ye Only a few days until our first big trip of the year (only 8 nights away but shh don't tell anyone, the longest I've camped before is only 3 nights). I've still got loads to do between now and Saturday though. I'm at that stage of wondering if we'll be ready in time! The forecast for our week away looks too good to be true after recent weather. Will we really be enjoying exploring in the warm, dry weather this time next week? If anyone has any tips for a weekend camper about to do a full week please share! So far I'm just thinking pack extra clothes but be prepared to wash and we will shop for food every few days. #wildlingexplorers #ukexplore #familieswhotravel #familytravel #wishes_and_wanderlust #travelwithkids #daysoutwithkids #daysoutwiththekids #fearlessfamtrav #familytravelblog #snaphappybritmums #ourtribetravels #vanlifewithkids #mazdabongoowners #mazdabongo #ukcamping #staycationuk #campingfamily #campinglifeisthebestlife #bongolife #shropshire #walkingwithkids #beautifulbritain #ukvanlife #vanfamily #camperfamily #outdoorfamily #countrykidsfun #vanfamtribe #campingwithkids

As well as enjoying the spectacular coastline, we As well as enjoying the spectacular coastline, we also spent our Northumberland trip discovering how to live in the camper van without killing each other 🤣 An awning creates more indoor space but we STILL haven’t received ours (despite ordering it in January 🙄) So here’s what else we found: ☀️ Sunny weather helps as you can live both inside and outside the van. ☀️ Putting things in logical places where you would use them reduces stress. We took a toilet tent, which was tall enough to use as a bathroom/dressing room. We had enough room to keep the packing cubes containing our clothes on one side of the tent and the toilet on the other. ☀️If you haven’t got an awning, a small pop-up tent is brilliant for storing car seats and bedding when they’re not needed. ☀️ Travelling as lightly as possible makes it much easier to stay organised so you’re not falling over everything and things aren’t tumbling out of cupboards as soon as you open them. ☀️It’s important to make sure everyone knows where everything is stored. There’s nothing more annoying than people constantly asking you where stuff is. We’re still making some modifications to both the inside and outside of the van to make life a little easier. Hopefully over the next couple of trips we’ll have it exactly how we want it. I’ll give you a little tour when it’s done. What are your tips for camping in harmony? 😜

We promised the kids a beach day now that we're in We promised the kids a beach day now that we're in Wales for the rest of half term. Only problem was it decided to be wet today. Thunderstorms were even forecast. . Thankfully we sat out the worst of the rain in the van before playing on the beach in the drizzle. Rhossili Bay is simply stunning and we loved exploring the ship wreck. It's quite a climb back up to the village though (no body minded on the way down!). We also had to cut the beach play short when our youngest fell over paddling in the sea 🙄 . Quick change of clothes in the van and the rain stopped too so we did a couple of mile circular walk around the head lands (perfect for today's #wildhoodadventures photo challenge). Finishing the day with delicious pizza overlooking the bay. . Today is also our 10 year wedding anniversary. We often spoke about returning to Italy for it but instead we found ourselves enjoying a wet day in Wales. Seems fitting though really as it rained on our wedding day in Tuscany! . #wildlingexplorers #ukexplore #familieswhotravel #familytravel #wishes_and_wanderlust #travelwithkids #daysoutwithkids #daysoutwiththekids #fearlessfamtrav #familytravelblog #snaphappybritmums #ourtribetravels #vanlifewithkids #exploretheoutdoorswithus #littleadventuredays #ukstaycation #kidswhoexplore #kidsinnature #theminiadventurehub #countrykidsfun #whatevertheweatherkids #mycolourfulkids #exploretheoutdoorswithus #thatmamaclubig #walkingwithkids #beautifulbritain #ukvanlife #vanfamily #outdoorinspirationchallenge #campingwithkids

One thing you should know about our family is that One thing you should know about our family is that we are HUGE UNC fans! Mike went to graduate school there and I commuted to Chapel Hill just about every weekend for two years from my consulting job. You can’t spend any time in Chapel HIll and not become a devoted basketball fan! 🏀And naturally, we have raised our kids to bleed Carolina blue: they’ve always worn the gear, watched all the basketball games, fly the flag on game day, and have made multiple trips across the country to visit the campus. In 2016, we decided to follow the team to Maui for the Maui Invitational. 🌺🌴The tournament is held over Thanksgiving week every year in Lahaina, but UNC attends only every 4th year. That year, UNC won the entire tournament and we were there for every game! It was an amazing way to kick off the college basketball season. We decided from that point on, we would spend every 4th Thanksgiving on Maui cheering for the Tar Heels. 2020 is the year we were supposed to go back to Maui. The tournament wasn’t canceled, but it was moved to Asheville, NC and we decided not to go. It’s a bummer to miss out this year, but we’ll be cheering them on from home with our flag flying proud. Go Heels! Maui 2024!🌈

We didn’t have anything booked, but my goodness, We didn’t have anything booked, but my goodness, all this talk of holidaying abroad has made me crave that ☀️🕶 The feeling of leaving the everyday worries and work behind, good to yourself and your family, getting a dodgy tan and eating more than I should! I’ve heard people say today that those who want to go abroad are selfish and irresponsible. I’ve also heard those who are currently abroad who now face having to quarantine on their return and sacrifice their wages for that time. I believe that holidaying abroad as a family brings so much joy in life, and leaves me radiating happiness in a way that few other things do… but would I go on holiday, putting us and others at risk right now? Probably not… not today anyway! Would I like to go as soon as we get the green light? Heck yes, hold my sangria and off I go. Just when is that going to be though? Will things change significantly for an uncertain period of time and will they ever go back to pre-covid travelling? I hope that some time soon in the future, we are able to jet off again, but for now, I’m going to have to put my big girl pants on and wait it out. What are your thoughts? Do you have holidays booked or planning to soon? Go on, make me jealous!

Into the top 5 of my daughter's top 10 destination Into the top 5 of my daughter's top 10 destinations visited and it's wonderful Oman - we spent a week here a few years ago, although we packed it full and were both won over by the country. The highlight for us both? The desert. 🐪 'I remember climbing up gigantic sand dunes to see the most amazing sunset ever (the long climb was worth it)' according to m 8yo. Which is pretty much my memory too. That and the silence, the dunes stretching off in every direction and endless, countless shades of gold, orange, burned, molten caramel. 🐪 It was tough to pick one highlight, given that we saw dolphins in the sea off Muscat, watched a turtle laying eggs in the night and a baby hatching, soaked up the views across a canyon and discovered an oasis in the dry stony mountains. Just to name a few... 🧡🧡🧡
