Being grateful: Holidays

This week I am being grateful for holidays. There are days when I reminisce about holidays my husband & I went on before we had our girls.

We had adventures overseas and within Australia. Some big, some small. Some over a few weeks and others a few days.

While we were fortunate to travel, we both worked hard in saving our money so we could go on these holidays.

I am grateful for the wonderful memories we have of all the places we have visited together. One of my most favourite memories is of spending 3 weeks in Paris for our 10th wedding anniversary seven years ago.

J'adore Paris!
Whenever our girls come in to our bedroom they love to stand on our bed and look at our montage of Paris photo's we have hanging behind our bedhead, pointing to the different parisian scenes.

It's been nearly a year since our last family holiday to the beach. The girls have been craving the beach, so have I. Hubby & I have been discussing a little family getaway for later in the year, it would be lovely if we can spend a week away from our house. Away from Sydney, and to be by the water enjoying the sand between our toes and watching the girls play in the water.

What are you grateful for?

  1. hope you get your holiday - we leave in 2 weeks for our first holiday this year - we need it so badly and i cannot wait to drive away from the house, the computer, hubby's work and more. i love the concentrated family time without distractions. a beach holiday sounds lovely (we are going outback so not really chillaxing unfortunately)

    1. Thanks Elisa, it was wonderful. I'd love to be able to take the girls there one day, but for now we'll just enjoy our family holidays close to home :) xx

  4. A holiday sounds like just the thing. I'm feeling a bit guilty about travelling to QLD for problogger with just the bub, my little girl keeps asking when we're going to QLD again (we went for a family holiday this time last year). I hope you get your holiday soon x

    1. Thanks Kylie. Wow, enjoy the trip with bub! I'd love to get away on my own for a couple days. I've been thinking of using my frequent flyer points for a weekend away to Brisbane to visit my brother & his family on my own, not sure if will go down well with my Hubby though ;) xx
