Parenting - it’s basically a mass social experiment, right.... does anyone really know what they are doing? 🤯 ~ Most days I feel completely unqualified for this, and all I can hope for is that they have empathy and a social conscience.. and preferably that they’re not serial killers 😅 ~ Moments like these sure are promising 😍 ~ #parentinggoals #raisinglittlehumans #handinhand #bigbro #mylittledarlings #watchthemgrow #familyvacay #novotelbalibenoa #baliexperience #familyplayground #adventureparenting #saltytracks #takethekidseverywhere #travelwithchildren #visitingplaceswithkids #baliwithkids #showthemtheworld (at Novotel Bali Benoa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5y16nkp0xw/?igshid=1wxk74apckr1x

All I wanna do is get high by the beach Get high by the beach, get high |Lana Del Rey| ~ Languid beach sessions have always served us as a form of escapism... it’s a place to kick back and slip into AWOL mode 🏖 ~ Sadly, although all beaches are beautiful, not all are as pristine as our corner of the world in Denmark WA. ~ It was such a shame to see cigarette buts, wrappers and plastic fragments in abundance amongst the expansive sands of Pandawa. What a shameful legacy we are leaving behind 😔 ~ So here’s to more mindful beach-going! It’s not just a place of leisure and escape - it’s a sacred space and we must take care and respect it. ~ #take3forthesea has become our family beach activity - doing it FOR the kids WITH the kids 😉 ~ #keepourbeachesbeautiful #leadbyexample #conserveandpreserve #pandawabeach #itcallsme #islandlife #beachswing #familyvacay #lovebali #tropicalgetaway #coastalvacations #baliexperience #adventureparenting #saltytracks #takethekidseverywhere #travelwithchildren #visitingplaceswithkids #baliwithkids #showthemtheworld (at Pandawa Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sIhHRpxib/?igshid=102a1etj4eyld

After watching the dedicated staff around @novotelbalibenoa , Gracen has taken to collecting fallen flowers along the paths we walk 🌺 ~ It makes for a VERY long trip down to the beach club, but we always have a ‘garden’ ready to ‘plant’ once we get there 🌺🐚 ~ She also enjoys waving ‘bye byes’ to the fish (there are four or five ponds along the way and we must visit ALL of them) and wishes ‘nigh nighs’ to a multitude of stone and timber carvings 🌺 ~ So it’s a bit of a process getting down to the beach, but lucky we’re on #balitime so we can indulge her 🌺🐚 ~ #islandgirl #resortlife #flowerchild #herwayorthehighway #frangipanis #tropicalgardens #beachsideresort #familyvacay #novotelbalibenoa #lovebali #tropicalgetaway #coastalvacations #baliexperience #familyplayground #adventureparenting #saltytracks #takethekidseverywhere #travelwithchildren #visitingplaceswithkids #baliwithkids #showthemtheworld (at Novotel Bali Benoa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_sa9cJJH5/?igshid=1cswtxdd6i4h0

Starting to wonder why they don’t allow pets in resorts but they allow these children 😂 ~ They wake up at 5:00 AM, squeal, squawk and roar and tear the room apart 😳 ~ They fight over food at breakfast table and get territorial over the kids lounge 😔 ~ A lot of the time they behave like animals 🐾 ~ Good to be staying in an ‘animal’ friendly hotel 😅 ie we have kids club, kiddy pool, table tennis and DVD hire at our disposal.. not to mention the AMAZING kids meals at @novotelbalibenoa ~ Still reckon we would have had an easier time if we brought Bruno the Mastiff 😂 ~ #cutebutnotcuddly #wedolovethemreally #familyfriendly #thankgodforkidsclub #nothingsweetaboutme #familyvacay #novotelbalibenoa #lovebali #tropicalgetaway #coastalvacations #baliexperience #familyplayground #adventureparenting #saltytracks #takethekidseverywhere #travelwithchildren #visitingplaceswithkids #baliwithkids #showthemtheworld (at Novotel Bali Benoa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B49vjMvp1IY/?igshid=36frktshode8

This generous little soul has been helping dad decide on a birthday pressie for mum: ~ Jackson - “I think we should get her a dinosaur!” Dad - “That sounds more like a present for Jackson.. maybe we could get her something else..?” Jackson - “I know! A rocket 😃” Dad - “Are you sure mum would like that? Maybe that’s a present for you again 😂” Jackson (momentarily disappointed) - “Ok, lets get her some cars, she likes cars - she plays with them all the time 😊” ~ Mum - “How about a trip to Bali” 😏 ~ #whatelsewouldagirlwant #familyvacay #birthdayholiday #morningsbythepool #balipool #novotelbalibenoa #lovebali #tropicalgetaway #coastalvacations #baliexperience #familyplayground #adventureparenting #saltytracks #takethekidseverywhere #travelwithchildren #visitingplaceswithkids #baliwithkids #showthemtheworld (at Novotel Bali Benoa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B48vfuMpRsT/?igshid=5kq915a8k7n
