A Family Wild Camping Video

Life has been busy lately but one thing that we never sacrifice is spending time together out in the wild. We decided to go camping in the same place we did almost two years ago when I was pregnant. Now having a toddler running around life is much different but one thing that remains the same and that we have passed on to our daughter already is a deep love of time in nature. Yeah this is our tent! Tent! Camping! Simple tasks like setting up a tent and collecting water for cooking feel almost meditative when done somewhere as beautiful as this. No distractions, no noise except the babble of the river and Aoife's laughter in the distance. Sometimes I feel like life is going too fast and there isn't enough time. Being here is a reminder to slow down, to be more present and to be more grounded. Where is she? Where is she? She's stuck. Where is she? Oh hello!

I think I think daddy would really like a biscuit a little bit yeah not good yeah yeah oh god I love you yeah wake up so we actually had quite a lot planned for the weekend especially today but as we set off it became pretty apparent that we were all exhausted so we decided to scrap all the plans and just hang out take it all in you know sometimes it just happens that way it's good to listen to your body just be kind to yourself and waking up this morning we knew we made the right decision time in nature is dear to all of us and remembering to slow down can be hard sometimes it's how we recharge whether it's wild camping dog walking or just pottering around in the garden it's all so important I came away from these couple of days with this realization that the longest relationship you have in life is with yourself so be kind it's not easy sometimes but definitely essential
