Do you have a favourite cuisine? For me, it’s Mexican. The freshness. The flavours. Tasty veggies, loads of coriander and chilli. Thankfully the kids love it too 👌🏼 However it’s dished up, I’d happily eat it every single day 🌮🌯🥑 . . . #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarian #burritobowl

⚠️ Soppy post alert! ⚠️ This guy right here. He makes my world turn. He makes my dark days brighter, laugh like no other. He finishes my sentences and still gives me butterflies when he kisses me. It may be Valentine’s Day, but every day is lovers day with you Mr B. Thank you for loving me exactly as you do ❤️

My sweet Nanny. Married at 17, she had her first babe at 18, my Mother. She lived and survived through war. Raising 5 girls, including twins. Migrated from England to Australia. She’s lost two daughters to cancer, and most recently, her husband. My Grandad. Whenever I want to know something about my Mum, she’s the person I ask. I love to hear her stories, and she loves to share them with me. When I’m with her, I feel my Mum is close by too. She is strong, she is brave and has the memory of an elephant. My sweet Nanny. I am so grateful for you. #MotherlessMothers #withawesomeNannys

This time last year. We rose with the sun and climbed Little Adams Peak in Ella, Sri Lanka before breakfast. It was breathtaking. Remarkable. But not as remarkable as this girl of ours. She has kicked off the first couple of weeks of Year 7. A smile on her face most (🤪) mornings, a kiss and an “I love you” at drop off. She’s is more organised than she has ever been. She sits at her desk in her bedroom every afternoon- creating. She’s full of excitement and and I suspect great things are ahead for her. Happy kids. Happy Mama. Am I right?! 💖

When your day doesn’t go to plan, but you remember to count your blessings. Blue cheese and Pimms. Match made in heaven! 👌🏼 #themanlovespickles 🥒

Beer tastings and time with the bestie. So good for the soul. Brilliant afternoon with the husbands and kids today at @thehopinnmtduneed Not entirely sold on the green beer, but the cider was delicious!! 🍻

Who got a sleep in today? The first full week of school is done. We’re all exhausted 😩 No matter what time Spencer goes to bed, he’s always up at 6:30am. Do you have one of those in your house? The wind is howling outside, and I can hear the rain on the roof. A busy weekend planned here with many family and friend catchups. Bring it on. Happy weekend everyone x

We’re beginning to plan our next adventure, or two. Among other things, this year we celebrate 15 years of wedded bliss, and although each year we head to Sydney for a few days for our anniversary, we’re thinking of trying something new this time. Where should we go? What should we see? 🌎 Edit: Australia only. I wouldn’t cope heading overseas without the kids... #MrLoverLover #HatStealer

The face I gave Andrew today when he knocked my fanny pack. They’re back I tell you. Back. We’ve had a ripper weekend here in Victoria. The summer weather was back in full force, with two very hot days. Brunch dates, Birthday celebrations, barefoot lawn bowls, blow your socks off spicy haloumi burgers and miniature train rides. Me and my bum bag are going to sleep well tonight! 😍 #heartfull

About Clare

We are a family of 4 from Australia and we love to travel. We are all too aware that life is short, so we spent 6 months planning a year long round the world trip together and now we are living our dream. We sold our home and packed our worldly possessions into storage. With 4 backpacks and a heart full of dreams, we have set off. Read more
