Yay πΒ The weather is clearing up and daylight savings starts on Sunday, time to get back out there! I don’t know about you, but this winter has been a tough one in my household, lingering bugs, uncoopervative weather and sadly a little girl with a broken bone in her ankle from jumping off the bunk bed π€¦ββοΈ. All this has meant not many missions have happened for us as a family over the winter, but alas a couple of sunny weekends under the belt and we are all charged up πΒ ready to roll.
What are your plans for the spring school holidays?
I plan to take the kids on an overnight hut stay!Β π€Β for good weather. It’s been awhile, and since I am fortunate enough to have time off, I’m gonna make this happen πͺ

Whether you are inland, coastal or up near the mountains, there is a hut for youΒ π
That’s the beauty of our awesome country π,Β outdoor adventures are right on your doorstep. Even if you don’t have much time off, get the kids outside, get off those pesky devices and get ya feet dirty π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ together.
This week is also being Mental Health Awareness Week, so it’s a good time to remember that connecting to the earth and each other while being present in the moment can really help cleanse our minds from all of life’s pressures, not just for ourselves but for our kids too.
This doesn’t have to be a long winded huge mission costing an arm and a leg, even 10 minutes down at your local reserve can do the trick π.
If you do get out on a choice adventure and would like to share it with others – get in touch, we’d love to hear about it. Your adventure might just be what someone out there is looking for but never knew was available to them βοΈ
