Bye Disney World ❤ I don't remember the last time I felt this exhausted, but we have some amazing memories that will last a lifetime. The girls were sad to say goodbye, they had the best time and I am so happy we finally took them! Here are a few tips for Disney World if you are wanting to go - *Fastpass - if you have a 'Fastpass' with your Disney tickets make sure you are really organised and prebook your 3x rides a day as the queues can be not fun. *To also help avoid queues try go the quiet times of year, we went at a quiet time of year and there is no way I would want it any busier! *You can ask for ice tap water from the quick counter restaurants for free. *Take lots of snacks to keep everyone going. *You will need days off inbetween park days as it's exhausting. We found blizzard beach was the perfect place to relax and help with the heat! *Food is expensive - really expensive. Just warning you. We tried to do as many packed lunches as possible however ice creams were sometimes inevitable. *All Disney transportation is free on site and we found it ran really well. The girls loved the boats and monorail most. *For the rides you just can't get a Fastpass for but really want to do, go to the park half an hour before opening, or if you are late starters like us, go queue just before closing. *Look into crowd control calendar online and plan each park in advance based on least busy day. *The first few days feel crazy but you start to get into a routine and feel like you know what you are doing a bit more. Download the Disney park app so you can keep an eye on the queue times, find out where the characters are and if you need to find a restaurant or toilet. Hope there is some helpful advice there. Feel sad to take the girls away from the magic. Hopefully be back in a few years if we can afford to. Thank you Disney world for the wonderful memories! 💗 . . . . . #disneyworld #magickingdom #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #fulltimetravel #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #budgettravel #travelfamily #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblog (at Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAx-hClwEN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nzdgxcmja6xe

This place is known as 'Hovis Hill' - you may recognise it from the old Hovis bread advert. It was a very pretty little street, and we were lucky to be able to get a photo . . . Little Olive had somehow lost her shoes so is wearing Daddy's giant socks, and her hat is covering the fact she had matted purple putty into the front of of her hair which I still haven't managed to get out! Are there any particularly pretty little streets you have been to and would recommend seeing? . . . . . #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #fulltimetravel #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #uniteinmotherhood #visitbritain #travelfamily #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #adventurekids #travelonbudget #gofurther #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #kidswhoexplore #hovishill #dorset (at Hovis Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGW3cLnrNZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qlll2gduaka0

We had a lovely time at Castle Coombe, one of England's prettiest villages. However . . . I think I am going to have to start taking more 'natural' pictures of the kids.Although they may look like angels, Olive 2 likes to try and plot constant escapes (this one being right next to a road or in to the river), Arden's (5) patience and attention span is not the longest and she will make it clear when she has had enough, and poor Ava (10) has to try force a smile inbetween the madness! So trying to get all three to smile at the same time can be a bit tricky! What do you do to get your kids to smile!? . . . . . #bestbritain #castlecoombe #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #fulltimetravel #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #uniteinmotherhood #visitbritain #travelfamily #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblogger #travelonbudget #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #kidswhoexplore #parentingfun (at Castle Combe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqpqp6-l5W1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1yci77cogl69

So two days ago we visited an amazing charity @shelterboxuk who provide aid for families displaced by war or disaster, and had a profound effect on the girls. The older two have since been constantly playing and re-enacting the work that shelterbox do, with Ava 10 being the worker providing the shelterbox and Arden 5 as the young girl who's home was destroyed by earthquake. As many of you know, a child learns and absorbs information best through play, and it has been great watching them work through their feelings around this issue through playing. If you are in Truro, Cornwall please go visit this amazing charity. The girls were able to be hands on and fill a box themselves, and got to see examples of everything shelter box provides for families that need it the most. If you swipe across you can see examples of the work shelterbox does and what the kids got up to on our visit. We will defintely be creating a monthly payment for this charity, and if you could take a look yourself you will see how amazing the charity is! For me I think seeing the Syrian childrens drawings hit home the most . . . . As a family we really want to combine charity and conservation experiences where we can. We are already big beach cleaners, and Ava has been a big WWF supporter, but we would love to be involved in as many hands on good causes as possible while on the move. First stop is USA in January, but in the meantime I will be seeing if we can get involved in any more in the UK. If any of you have any recomendations we would love to hear them!?! Thank you! . . . . . #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #fulltimetravel #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #travel #uniteinmotherhood #visitbritain #travelfamily #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblogger #travelonbudget #gofurther #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #kidswhoexplore #parenting #learnthroughplay #charity #conservation (at ShelterBox) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSaYSflqVf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cc0p87w61sme

So another archaeology site and another picture with the yellow coats! The girls were not particularly up for this one as there was a pretty cold wind. Middlest Arden in the car when Daddy got out said "I feel bad for daddy but I really do not want to go!" So I said "of course that's fine, he can pop up on his own." Once daddy opened the door she put on a smile and said "I'm coming daddy I can't wait to see it" 😭such a sweetie x . . . . . #archaeologyfamily #archaeology #portaldorman #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #fulltimetravel #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #uniteinmotherhood #visitbritain #travelfamily #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblogger #travelonbudget #gofurther #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #kidswhoexplore #parenting https://www.instagram.com/p/BqN3wczFE4x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lz3t87nyuuh7

Back in Cornwall and treating the girls to tea and cake @lishe_calstock . . . It is now pouring it down outside and blowing a gale. Is it too early to start doing some Christmas crafts with the kids? Anyway got to go, Husband has just served us all up some bacon sarnies 😋 . . . . . #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #magicofchildhood #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #travel #uniteinmotherhood #travelfamily #travel #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblogger #travelonbudget #gofurther #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #candidchildhood #kidswhoexplore #cornwall #england (at Lishe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9l54tFaro/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5lfiky39ergf

So we went for a quick trip up to London and decided to go check out Portabello road in Notting Hill. The girls loved looking at all the interesting things, especially little Olive who likes to pick up the most fragile and expensive, leaving me hovering over her like a nervous wreck 😂 On this trip we have been to some of the Harry Potter locations, and this antiques shop is also from a famous film . . . Anybody recognise it? A clue is in the picture itself . . . . . . . #londoncalling #portabelloroad #kidsarethebest #ourcrazykids #familylife #childhood #magicofchildhood #lifewithoutschool #letthemexplore #raisingwildgirls #worldschool #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids #travel #visitbritain #travelfamily #travel #traveltheworld #lifewelltravelled #lifeofadventure #adventurekids #travelblogger #travelonbudget #loveyourtimetogether #wildandbravelittles #candidchildhood #kidswhoexplore #nottinghill (at Portobello Road Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8_ICSlEMq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pv6j885wqzl3
