Recently Sam and I celebrated out 5th year wedding anniversary - romantically! - WITH our kids! "wow! is that ever possible?" 
We are strong believers in hang a balance in life and that our children learn from what they see - so we wanted to show them some romance! At about 10pm the night before our actually anniversary date we spontaneously decided that we wanted to do some special - I wanted a romantic getaway - a bubble bath, swimming pool, delicious food, nice drinks and great company! At first thought this all sounds like 'too much' and that it would cost a fortune, but those doubtful beliefs didn't stop us from googleing!

Nice surprises
We had so many options to choose from! We decided to head into Brisbane city to the lovely Watermark Hotel, we just wanted one night but we wanted the 'works'. We arrived early afternoon and got up to out room with the lovely surprise of  a box of chocolates, massage oil, bubble bath, bath bomb & chocolate body sauce! (which Charley ate LOL)! I loved seeing and feeling the excitement of both sam & I and the kids, so much fun! so we got into the chocolates while we looked out the window to see the city view. The next best thing was to go for a swim in their pool…. we had the pool all to ourselves! Charley is really enjoying swimming at the moment so she was thrilled! 
After our swim we decided that it would be fun to walk into the CBD and explore the surroundings, get something to eat and watch 'city life'. Our initial thought that was it would be fun go somewhere for dinner, then we spontaneously (there's that awesome word again) that It would be heaps more fun to buy stuff from the supermarket and eat in the beautiful Roma Street Park that was opposite our hotel that we explored earlier on.

Check out our video below of the Roma St Gardens, Brisbane

We all played in the park with each other. I love these moments when we're all giggling and having so much fun… all barriers are down and we're just celebrating 'togetherness' - these are moments that we need to remember more often!

We got back to our room with yet another wonderful 'sexy' delight :-) Strawberries (massive ones) covered in chocolate….. OH MY GOD!!!! PLUS a bottle of champagne which we asked to swap for red wine, and they happily did so (no extra charge)! 
Our kids enjoyed a bubble bath while sam and I chatted. Included in our Temptation for 2 package was a New release movie of our choice…. we didn't go for a 'romantic' movie instead we choose the Hang Over 2 :-D. Sam and I felt like some drinkies....  cocktails and in particular - Toberlone cocktail, it's our favourite. Sam requested these through the bar, they actually didn't know how to make them, so they googled it and check out the result!!!! This was a WOW factor, Chunks and all! We've had these in the past and these ones made for us are 2nd to none! The night just continued to get better and better!

Buffet Breakfast! YUM!
After our fun and well rested night we had THE BEST buffet breakfast EVER!!!! 5 years ago we had a good one at the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne, but this - was TOPS!!!! (I love how life experiences just gets better and better!) There was everything yummy! Pastries (chocolate filled & berried filled), eggs (Scrambled & sunny side up), bacon, mushroom tomato garlic yumminess (I loved this!), cereal, toast, juices, fresh fruit, there was just sooooo much! Sam and I dove in and ate sooo much (love it when someone else cooks) and the kids hardly ate anything… we laughed on the funniness of this!

What a wonderful ROMANTIC time we had. I loved that our kids don't limit us with our decisions… we just work 'around' it. We always make sure there is something for everyone and our kids just dive into new experiences. I loved that they could see all types of situations like Romantic ones, Camping, Adventurous… whatever. This must expand their minds so much and they can truly grasp all different aspect of life on many different levels! 

So don't delay! Get your romantic on today! - kids n all!

Only recently have we learnt how to lead a limitless life - Breaking through limiting beliefs that had stopped us from doing what we DESIRED! You know what... ANYTHING is possible! and I truly mean that. I often have people approach me saying "it so great that you can live like you do.... but I wouldn't be able to because of.... my kids... or job... or whatever" EXCUSES!!!! If you really want it you can HAVE it! We are living proof (And we never thought we would be this proof!) STOP limiting yourself... You deserve to have an AWE-SOME life filled with all your desires! BreakFree of limits here!

 
 
Recently we have been staying on and near the MAGNIFICENT Whitsunday's Australia, specifically Airlie Beach & on long Island. It feels like magic up there in North Queensland! Words can hardly describe the feeling!

Our dream camper trailer all set up :-)
Sam & I brought our DREAM camper trailer about 1 week 1/2 before we traveled 14 hours to get there. Driving along with our new camper trailer (nice & sparkly) felt like we just got new clothes or a hair cut - you know that feeling, when it seems that everyone seems to notice you! :-) It was an awesome feeling knowing what we had manifested. A true blessing! We will share the story with you soon about how we manifested it!. 

We were truly blessed to stay at Airlie Beach Adventure Big 4 - this place is truly OUTSTANDING!!!! 2nd to none (so far :-) While we were staying there we were helping run the kids activities for the Australian Unschooling Conference which ran over 5 days. The conference was OUTSTANDING and the Big 4 just made it such a pleasure to run hold a conference there! They always went out of their way to help. And for us personally we have serval things come up with learning to 'use' our new camper trailer (3 in total LOL) and the management there helped us fix every issue - no worries at all! Totally awesome staff! HIGHLY reccomend this place just check out some of our pics below on there awesome facilities! 

Exploring the Great Barrier Reef

Picture
on the boat - 1 1/2 hour ride to 'Reef World'
gosh! words cannot describe the reef.... wow! We cruised with FantaSea to have our fun times out in the middle of the ocean exploring the reef - it was exceptional! This was our first (and not last) time exploring the reef like this and I felt so blessed for our kids to experience this too. To make things extra special - we were Celebrating Charley's 3rd birthday!  Below is a video of our experience on the reef and before hand travelling to it. So much FUN!!!

This world surely has some magical & life changing places!

When we visit places we like to 'soak up' the atmosphere and what this means is that this impact us for life. The memories live forever. And not only are the memories great but also the emotions that go with it - this I feel has a huge life changing impact, if you allow it! Some places are quite 'magical' - I'm sure you have experienced this before, unable to explain just how good it was. That is what I truly love about this world - that it certain places can have such an impact on us AND be LIFE CHANGING. I guess thats why people love 'vaccations' so much! People look and seem different when they return form places - I'm sure you can resonate!

Island Life..... Dream's do come true!

Our Island getaway! Long Island Resort
We stayed on a remote Island Resort (Long Island) on the Whitsunday's. The magically thing for us about this place was that 5 years ago Sam & I visited here - we were on our honeymoon and we promised ourselves that when we had kids we would bring them back to the Island.... DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!! It was like it was such a STRONG feeling inside us that it just HAD to manifest, and it did! 
For me I loved lazying in the sun and then getting in the beautiful ocean water - so pristine! The kids loved exploring. We found these a-mazing mangrove trees that were so much fun to climb in & through! Sam loved the bar... LOL - mind you I liked it too! This resort was very family friendly too, lots of activities included in the costs of staying there like canoeing, snorkelling etc. We requested a beach front room - which I suggest you do too if/when you go with kids as the kids can just wander out onto the sand/beach with you being able to watch them from your patio or room - life is good :-) oh and they had full internet access/mobile phone reception, so I could still coach people while staying there, which was EXACTLY what I was after!
For me and Sam it was soo nice to be back - living out our dreams with our dream made children - such a blessing, we are so grateful each day!

Feeling good ALL the time on just on 'holidays' 

Exploring magical places like this always opens our eyes up to so much more potential. Have you ever tried this - going to visit a different place, and while being there you feel different you act different and you wonder why life can't be like this all the time? Well my friends, it CAN be like that all the time. Feeling good comes from within and its always a choice to feel good. Circumstances around us can effect us in either positive or negative ways - BUT ULTIMATELY WE CHOOSE!
I was glad to get back to what I know, because I have sooooo much planned for growth in my business and life. When I got back to a 'rhythm' I felt lost for a little bit, not knowing where to start with all my ideas.
