Lazy days in the tropics

Midweek Moments in Bali

We have just returned from ten wonderful days in Bali with family and friends. We had a stunning private villa in Canggu with our own swimming pool, lush gardens and views over the rice paddies. It was an oasis in the tropics and the perfect place to relax with friends. The girls loved living in one huge house with their friends, ready to play as soon as the sun woke up each morning. We spent hours upon hours in the pool, but there were plenty of barefoot moments in between.

Midweek Moments

Lifestyle + Home

We said goodbye to one of the coldest winters I can remember. The air was cold but the days were full of sunshine. It meant we were able to spend a lot of time outdoors, exploring and visiting new places. The last couple of weeks, however, we've stayed closer to home and enjoyed slowing down our days. I think we all needed one last hibernation before spring.

Treasure hunting amongst the trees

The Everyday Adventure

Another afternoon we were all desperate to get outside and explore. We found a trail that followed a rocky path along the river, through big boulders and over sand. There were so many treasures to collect and details to take in. The guide said this was a 30 minute walk but it took us 2 hours. These little legs have to stop at every flower, seed, leaf and stick along the way. 

Tree house for two

The Everyday Adventure

Tree climbing is fast becoming one of their favourite activities. Where the big girl goes, the little one is sure to follow, even if her abilities don't quite match her enthusiasm. We found an amazing tree whose trunk was so big you could build a little house inside. It was kid heaven.
