How good is travel?

Today I’m watching my boys football in the rain.

This time tomorrow I’ll be in the sky ✈️.

Monday, I’ll be poolside in Bali lapping up the sun ☀️.

Definitely not taking travel for granted, it feels like forever since I’ve left our Aussie coastline.

Who else has some overseas travel on the horizon? Let me know in the comments where your off to ⬇️.

Some weeks I post here daily, some weeks I’m lucky if I can remember all my four boys names 💁‍♀️ 🤣 !

And that my friends is what I call life. Sometimes everything aligns and other times you just do what’s truly important, and what makes you smile.

I’ll see you when I see you 😘

Every time I stay @thepauseaus I have the best sleep ever 🙏.

If you are a holiday property owner or want to become one, my best advice is to invest in a high quality bed & bedding 👌.

Today is Ben’s birthday, aka #camerashybuilder … he is going to love the attention on this post 😜.

If I had one word to describe Ben, it would have to be ‘calm’. Not much phases him in life. This is definitely one of his strengths in being a builder, that’s for sure … and being a Dad to our four boys.

He truly is the ying to my yang, he is my encyclopaedia for all things building and he is one amazing human! 💗🔨

So go on, help me wish Ben from @bamconstructionsgroup a Happy Birthday 🎂
