☆Family Time☆ Recently we've taken a look at ourselves and really thought about the things we really want and family time out the house was something that came up. It's so easy to spend time off cleaning the house, doing errands and getting caught up in other life admin rather than leaving it and spending time with loved ones. Today we went to the Zoo and it was a day well spent, the Bubba got to run around, he spoke to all the animals, got scared by a shrieking hippo and nearly caught a free roaming mini deer creature. The view out there near the penguins enclosure was incredible something I'd love to have one day from a self built country house. Being more conscious about the way we spend our energy and time recently has helped a lot in creating a more content environment all round. The Zoo today was great because it was like a ghost town so there was no battling through the crowds to see anything and we could take our merry time. #Family #QualityTime #WhipsnadeZoo #ConsciousLiving

I don't know how to articulate how I feel about the heartless, callous and demonstrative acts carried out in New Zealand. To sit and think out and plan such an inhuman act sickens me to the core. To lash out at those peacefully going about there day during a sacred, spiritual moment I can't find the words. It is an act of terrorism! The consequences of this act are unimaginable. We sit here safe in our homes thinking it will never happen to me. Disconnected from the images we see on the screen from the people just living their lives who are being portrayed as "other" not human, fair game. In history there is always a group of people being blamed for the wrongs of the world seen as the ones that need to be eradicated, dominated, broken etc Where is the compassion? The stopping to look within and ask serious questions? People say they wish there was something they could do to help but then so nothing! There is plenty you could do! Start with looking within and questioning your own views, stories you tell yourself are they based on facts? Educate your kids and yourself don't leave it to FB and vile tabloid news, read books, listen to audiobooks, put yourself in the shoes of others. It's not easy but it's all within your power to do. Don't spout hate be conscious of where your thoughts are coming from and whether it is truly your opinion. Start picking apart the narrative you live in every day! It's deeply sad because it happened and it never should have and it's traumatic because it will probably happen again because instead learning from situations we seem destined to repeat them in more gruesome, depraved ways. Lashing out at what is different instead of attempting to understand, seeing difference as a threat something to be feared! I don't have all the answers I'm constantly learning and seeking knowledge on all things because I want to make sure I'm doing something. Letting those who have been affected know that I'm with them!

☆My Disney Tips☆ If you haven't been before and don't know what to expect here are a few tips for your consideration. 1. Download the Disneyland Paris app it has a map of the park, tells you what rides, shops and restaurants are open, show times and the wait times for each ride. 2. Be prepared to queue! Average wait times were 30 to 55 minutes. Pack some distractions for the kids and brief them so that they are prepared for the wait. 3. Wear good trainers or walking boots or supportive sandles there is a lot of walking and the last thing you want is aching painful feet. 4. Pack a few lunches! The average cost for a person to eat Burger, chips and have a drink was €18 per person so if you are a family of 4 going to the park from the moment it open to close so you can catch the light show and fireworks you will probably want to eat at least twice. If you are vegan or vegetarian there wasn't anything there apart from one salad that I saw was for you to eat. 5. Budget. This probably should have been at the top but going to Disney as a family it may be worth setting a budget so that each child has the same amount of money to spend in the gift shop each day which helps them with their money management skills and may reduce arguments. Decide before hand what the budget is for so you may have money for food, money for photos with characters as they may not want photos with the same ones, money for clothes, money for balloons because those bad boys were €10 each. 6. If you want a clear view for the parade you will need to get your spot early people start lining the streets at least 45 minutes before it starts and then will not move not even for a Bubba in a buggy. Be prepared to put kids on shoulders so they can see the show. 7. If travelling with young children remember they are going to get tired so a buggy or trolley is a must so they can rest and take naps. There are buggy parks at each ride which makes life easier. 8. Take a waterproof coat/poncho just in case 9. Manage expectations! Know your family and what triggers them and works for them. #Disneyland #Paris #FamilyTrip #Expectations #Tips #Practical

☆2019 Begins Now☆ Last night we stopped to mark the continuation of 2019 with intention! Sometimes you need to stop and reflect on what it is you want and how you are going about it to ensure that you aren't just going through the motions and that you are considering the other persons needs, feelings and that you are both being heard and understood. Individual ambitions are great when there is support, empathy and understanding of how those ambitions impact you. There is room for both to have their own successes yes children may slow down the process a little for one or both but it doesn't have to kill dreams and goals dead! If you want it to happen it can. Seek out people who are already doing the things you want to do or living the life you would like to live and find out how they did it. See if there's a way you can adapt what you are doing to get to where you want to be. Taking one step each day towards what you want will get you a hell of a lot closer than staying stagnant! #HappyNewYear #StartNow #BeIntentional #BeSupportive #BeEmpathetic #Together #OneStepAtATime
