What Is A Family Holiday?

Through my blog I have fallen in love with taking photographs - I bought my first DSLR a year or so after starting blogging and I have had the most fun teaching myself how to use it. I set myself a goal of learning how to use it on manual and once I achieved that goal, I became even more passionate about photography.

Capturing special moments is what it has always been about for me as a blogger and a vlogger - it started with written words and then with photography and now with video too over on my youtube channel. My favourite moments to capture are always of us a family out and about, exploring the world around us: learning, bonding, growing, being, laughing and doing the most important thing in the world: making memories that last a lifetime. I also share our favourite family-friendly travel/adventure spots on my social media platforms, my blog and my youtube channel to help inspire others looking to find the best places to make equally as amazing memories but with their own families.

Below I have shared a few of our most favourite travel moments that we've had with our two boys Ethan and Logan (aged 4 and 2) so far, to explain what we think a family holiday is all about.




What IS a family holiday?

It's a chance to learn about the world around us and all of the wonderful things in it. 

It's a chance to throw out the routine. 

 It's a chance to wander, to get lost and to forget about the clock. 

It's a chance to introduce more of our beautiful world to our children.

It's a chance to hold each other close and just enjoying being in the moment. 

It's a chance to discover and explore together.

It's a chance to discover new food. 

 It's a chance to create the best sorts of memories. 

It's a chance to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.

And a chance to dip our toes in the sea. 

 It's a chance to come together.

And a chance to find joy in the little things. 

 It's a chance to kick back, relax and just chill.

It's a chance to match the kids clothes (whilst they still let you!) and to wear things that make you feel good.

It's a chance to let your hair down and to soak in the 'now'.

It's a chance to be at your happiest (and an opportunity to splash your Dad and little brother in the pool!)

It's a chance to try something new and to enjoy new experiences.

And a chance to grow in confidence for doing so.

  It's a chance to remember how lucky we are to share our lives with such incredible people.

It's a chance for our children's imaginations to run wild..

...and for us as parents to be kids again!

A holiday is a chance to experience those 'pinch yourself' moments

The right holiday can be everything you need it to be and everything you want it to be. <3
