22.01.2022 DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF This is something I use to find hard to do. Making sure the washing was always done ... Bills paid on time Kids stuff perfectly organised Shopping up to scratch All the little things I felt like I had to cram into my afternoons or force into my weekends just to stay on top of it all. It felt like I was left with little time to actually enjoy life. Since moving solely online and making the decision to take back our time and make it our own. The small stuff doesn’t worry me anymore! The best way to put it is...this is how life is meant to feel. We are enjoying what we do and making the most of it. Yes, those little things still need to be done but fitting them in is no longer stressful because we set our schedule. It’s so clear to me now, how so many of us get stuck in a rut. Going from jobs that dedicate our time to rushing home to fit in life’s necessities - it’s draining and so many are left with little time to explore the things that make them happy. The best thing we ever did, even though we enjoyed our jobs before was take back our time. What would you do with your time if was completely your own?
19.01.2022 IF WE HAD... Let the opinions of others stop us Our fears hold us back ... The doubts take over Held onto our comfort zones WE WOULDN’T BE... Able to spend everyday together Have the time freedom to do what we love Be able to focus on self care & mindset Witness Blair’s milestones Travel whenever we desire WE TOOK A CHANCE & NOW.... We are living the life we always dreamt of. What option will you take? To hold onto everything that is holding you back? Or Let that all go and see your true lives potential unfold?
16.01.2022 NOT LONG NOW UNTIL BLAIR BECOMES A BIG SISTER! This pregnancy has been an absolute whirlwind for me so far - it feels like it has flown by. I am very grateful to have had both very smooth pregnancies, although this time I recently found out that I have previa placenta which means I may not have the birth experience I was hoping for. ... I am remaining optimistic and either way a healthy happy baby is what matters. We can’t wait to meet our baby boy and watch Blair transition into a big sister. Our little ones will have an age gap of just under 2 years, I would love to hear your experiences with age gaps! Do you have any tips on how to make the transition easier on Blair?
15.01.2022 FINDING YOUR GROOVE Over the past few weeks, we have had alot of moving parts, these started with Packing up an entire house... Moving in with my parents as our lease ending didn't quite match up with my discharge date Leaving the security of my job for the last 13 years Fixing the niggling issues in the car ready for the drive Planning our route Spending 2 weeks driving across the country, changing the direction we planned halfway Getting settled into our new life in QLD Now you might be asking where this is going? Well we were so far from our normal routine, and in fact needed to create an entire new one as our world was quite litterally flipped. We had a bit of an epiphany today that we were still just trying to do everything together, parenting, cooking, business. Now we did make these changes in order to have more time together, but that doesn't mean every waking minute. What it does mean is that we can use our time so much smarter, for instance me taking B outside to play for an hour while Ayla works on business or something else that needs to get done, or vice versa when I need a bit of time. This means that we can give her our full attention while the day to day things also get done fully instead of in bits and pieces. Now we are slotting into our new groove and it feels incredible to be able to make everything run much smoother. If something feels rushed and not right for everyone involved, we encourage taking a step back and finding where improvements can be made. -Kyle
14.01.2022 IT’S WHAT I’VE ALWAYS DONE a common phrased used by people who are stuck in their ways and struggling to break the cycle. If it’s working for you and your on the path to achieving your goals ... AMAZING!! Keep doing what you are doing. But for those of you who are hating life, feel stuck or unsatisfied in path you are currently on. Make yourself a deal, to never say those words or words to the affect ever again! You see, the only way to achieve different results is by trying something different. Nothing changes, if nothing changes. When I first started to consider leaving the defence force, because I wanted more out of life, my first and natural alternative was to move to another government job. But why? Was it really going to get me new results, the life I always dreamt of? HELL NO!! I had to think big, dig deep and be courageous! That is simply what has lead us to this lifestyle we live today. We tried something completely different. If you are feeling stuck, we encourage you to challenge yourself - go out and do that thing that scares the absolute shit out of you! It’s scary for a reason! Nothing worth it comes easy.
13.01.2022 HAPPY SUNDAY Kyle spent the morning building a base for a spa and we went to the markets. How did you spend your weekend?
12.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO THIS AMAZING MAN There is nothing better than watching you be a dad! I can’t wait to do parenthood all over again with you. ... We love you forever. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads
12.01.2022 A CAMPING TRIP IS IN ORDER! We are so ready to get the tent out and spend a week by the ocean. Once QLD school holidays are done and dusted we are headed north to Noosa for a week to soak up the sun. ... We are the biggest lovers of a simple lifestyle and nothing beats camping with just the essentials. We will never go without the Webber though. Tell us below, what’s your favourite camping must have!?

07.01.2022 EMBRACE EVERYTHING THAT IS YOU So often we try fitting ourselves into a certain mould, there is an image we believe we should look, feel and act like - as if we were choosing to be an exact person who is not us. The yoga chick who eats clean, meditates numerous times a day, speaks a certain way has a certain friend group. ... The cool chick the one who is always in a good mood, nothing bothers her EVER and of course she is willing to give everything a go. The smart girl the one who ticks all the boxes, doesn’t miss an event, reads a new book a week, the go to for everything. You get the idea and honestly the list goes on. The thing is and where so many of us fail in becoming the person we desire to be is when we have this crazy idea we’ve slipped up, we strayed from the perfect picture of this person we trying so hard to be. We don’t give ourselves room to just be, experiment, or let things flow naturally. This leads us to fall back into old habits! No longer can I be that healthy chick, because I choose to have a treat. So we beat ourselves up and end back at square one. I truely believe it’s beyond inspiring to have certain figures we look up to even if it’s on social media but we need to stop expecting to fit that perfect mould and just be ourselves! That is where true happiness lies. Create the perfect version of you - whatever that may look like! Do this by embracing everything you love, and gradually you’ll find you are exactly where you need to be.
07.01.2022 WE ALL EXPERIENCE FEARS THAT HOLD US BACK A tool that has changed my life forever is finding a way to work with my fears in order to keep moving forward to achieving my goals. For me, it was the fear failing or not being good enough that was stopping me from taking on opportunities that would lead me to my dream life. ... My question to you is this, have you ever really sat and thought about your fears? What is it that is exactly holding you back? And where did that fear stem from? It’s so easy for to us to say oh, I am just scared I won’t be able to do that. We are so scared by our owns fears that many people never dive enough to discover where the fear was brought to life. Without acknowledging the true fear and understanding it in its whole, we will never truely overcome it. If I hadn’t done the work necessary to find a way or to overcome the things holding me back in life, we would not be where we are today. Living our dream! Today, I encourage you to take a moment or whatever time you need to think about what’s holding you back and why.
07.01.2022 LIVE THIS THURSDAY NIGHT! We have some exciting news. This Thursday night @ 6:30pm AEST we will chatting LIVE with Inspiring Vacations about our recent trip across Australia. ... We will be covering things from how we prepared to how we made travelling with toddler that little bit easier. We look forward to seeing you all there.
04.01.2022 I AM SURE YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE... Becoming a mum has the ability to totally take over your identity... Often you hear of situations where mums have completely lost themselves while so attentively filling the needs of a tiny human. ... I’ll admit, there was numerous times where I would have come close or maybe even on certain days I did. What I have really come to understand though is how true it is that you can’t pour from an empty cup. The moment this realisation sunk in for me, I made a commitment to never lose myself to parenthood. Yes I’d grow and change, all big life events will have the ability to manifest these things but I wanted to make sure that I was still me under all the sleepless nights. That I could always at least try show up as the best version of myself for my kids. This comes with effort and making a promise to take time for yourself. Some days of course harder than others but sometimes it’s just the small action of taking time for yourself which is enough. From very early on after having Blair, I knew I didn’t want to return to a normal job. Our business for me changed everything, it’s given me the ability to have the flexibility I need to show up for myself, Kyle and Blair. For all the parents - this is a reminder to take some time for yourself today! Even just for a few minutes.
03.01.2022 THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! We have finally arrived in QLD - crossed the border with no issues As soon as we hit NT, we did a swap from winter to summer clothes and boy are we glad we did! Loving this warmer weather and grateful to be staying in places where Blair can swim. ... There is something so freeing about just being out on the open roads, with nothing but the essentials. As much as we try and buy our own food for making breaky, lunches and dinner we are hanging out for a home cooked meal. Our goal is to arrive on the Gold Coast on Monday! Can’t wait to see the family.
02.01.2022 WE HAVE ARRIVED!! Yesterday around lunch time we finally arrived on the Gold Coast after exactly two weeks of our zig zag trip from WA. We had the best time and are so glad we had Blair there to experience the journey with us. ... What an epic memory. We have spent the morning unpacking and getting organised. So now what’s ahead for us? Our plan is to start preparing for the arrival of our baby boy, getting settled here in QLD, spending time with family, diving deep into our business and helping our team grow and with lots of little trips exploring this side of the country (as much as we can). Having big goals is something that we speak about often, so it’s time for us to now get clear on the next big things we want to achieve. We already have a few things in mind.... WE CANT WAIT TO SHARE THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU.
