There are a few things in this life I simply cannot say no to.

Someone needs to tell her she’s missing a few lightbulbs... I received so many messages recommending we visit Pike Place Market. So glad we did!! 💙 @visitseattle

We had the best day today! Took the rental car for a cruise into Seattle city and explored every little nook and cranny. There is so much to discover here. Quaint little streets and lane ways. Huge play parks. Museums. Galleries. Lookouts. Walkways decorated with chewing gum...(checkout my stories...!🙈). We wandered the Pike Place market and visited the first ever Starbucks store. This here wall was another great find. If only it said 1982, it’d be perfect! ✌🏼

Honolulu has so much more to offer than just skyscrapers and shopping malls. Don’t get me wrong, that was all a huge novelty the first week or so. For the kids and I, it’s our first time in the US, and eating in a diner, tasting American candy, visiting Walmart and the other stores that we’ve only ever seen in the movies, was pretty cool. But our very favourite days in Honolulu were when we headed out of the city and got to explore the coast line and North Shore. This beautiful spot right here was just magic!!! . . #Hawaii #Waikiki #Oahu #SeeHawaii #VisitHawaii #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #wanderlust #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #lpfanphoto #tripmaximizer #halonablowhole @hgiwaikikibeach

I adore colour and architecture, and when their powers combine (Captain Planet style...{90’s kid reference}...), I am in awe. This beauty is around the corner from our current hotel and en route to dinner last night just HAD to be captured 💖 . . #Hawaii #Honolulu #Waikiki #Oahu #SeeHawaii #VisitHawaii #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #wanderlust #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander

Full time travel mode is so different to holiday mode. We don’t hit the beach every day, or visit all the tourist attractions. We don’t buy ALLLLL the great shopping bargains, only some... Our day today started off slowly. The kids wrote yesterday’s diary entry before we headed out for a late brunch. It was then back to the hotel for an afternoon of school work - math and literacy. Once all done, it was NBA 🏀 for the boys and free time for Lily whilst I made a few calls back home to Australia to catchup with my Dad and sister. The weather was perfect, and it would have been an ideal day to hang at the beach, but perhaps that will be tomorrow’s activity. We’re currently working on our exit from Hawaii and our next leg. Decisions, decisions...🤷🏼‍♀️ . . #Hawaii #Waikiki #Oahu #SeeHawaii #VisitHawaii #worldschooling #homeschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #wanderlust #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #holidayswithkids #ourhawaiiadventure

This place. Hanauma Bay. Off the charts beautiful. Definitely a must see if visiting Honolulu. That water is crystal clear blue👌🏼😍 . . #Hawaii #Waikiki #Oahu #HanaumaBay #SeeHawaii #VisitHawaii #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #wanderlust #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #lpfanphoto #tripmaximizer

Are you afraid of heights? I never thought I was, but lately - every time I’m near a balcony at a decent height, I continually seem to visualise one of us falling over...it’s usually one of the kids and then I jump after them. How crazy is that?! This is not me dreaming...(or nightmare-ing...) this is me, wide awake, of sound mind (almost...), in broad daylight...visualising... Am I going completely bonkers?! . . #hiltongardeninnwaikikibeach @hgiwaikikibeach #hgitravelguide #ourhawaii

Honesty Post: These two. Most days I feel like I’ve got no idea what I’m doing. That I’m not as fun as Dad. That I’m losing my patience every two minutes and that all they’ll ever remember of their childhood is their Drill Sargeant Mother. Raising kids this age has proven to be much more of a challenge for me, than babies, toddlers...preschoolers. I felt that I was made to have babies. That stage of their lives came so easy to me. So much so, that we decided to have two in 15 months. A friend once said to me...”Little children, little problems. Big children, big problems...” I NOW know exactly what she meant. These days, I don’t have to worry that they’re eating enough, pooping enough, sleeping enough...they’ve got that well and truly covered. It’s now about making sure that they’re going to become decent teens and young adults. Decent humans. To teach them and guide them. Right from wrong. Kindness. Compassion. Forgiveness. Intuition. Loyalty. Equality. Education. All of those things, and more. So much more. From as far back as I can remember, all I ever wanted in life was to be a Mum. It sounded so simple. It’s easy to get caught up in life, and making sure they’re toeing the line. Doing their school work and behaving. Sometimes I really do forget to have fun with them, and I forget how blessed and fortunate I am. I truly am so very grateful today (and everyday), that I’ve been given this special job/role/title/mission/blessing. These kids right here, they’re my flesh and blood. They’re my muse. They’re my life. And I adore them to parts. Pieces. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas out there, whichever shape or form you come in. Fur Mama, step Mama, foster Mama, birth Mama, adoptive Mama, single Mama, Mama to be. Those praying, but not yet a Mama. And I will never forget those, who like me, no longer have their own Mamas to love and spoil on this special day. Big love to you all xxx

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
