Over the moon to stumble across a real live Llama here in Colombia. The only thing that can probably top this for Bridge is to stumble across a real live unicorn. 😂 . . . . . #llama #llamas #llamasofinstagram #llamalove #bogotacolombia #visitsouthamerica #dreamcometrue #worldschooler #weareworldschooler #traveldeeper #traveldiary #mytinyatlas #travelpassion #globetrotting #exploretheworld #seetheworld #cutenessoverload #tween #travelvlogger #explorer #wanderlove #worldschooling #travelphotos #travelgoals #traveladdicted #travelmore Got to see Bogota from high up, at Monserrate. Despite the rain and the crowd, we got a beautiful glimpse of the city! ❤️ . . . . . #monserrate #monserratebogota #bogotacolombia #travelpassion #worldschooling #beautifulviews #lovetotravel #southamerica #weareworldschoolers #worldschooling #travelnow #viewsfordays #beautifulplaces #traveloften #globetrotter #tlpicks #mytinyatlas #traveljournal #travelsouthamerica #travelholic #travelersnotebook #travelaroundtheworld #travelandleisure #travelbug #traveldiaries #traveladdicted #globetrotter We’re in Colombia, and it’s Bridgette’s first time in a South American country! We’re fascinated by the culture here, and there’s so much to see and explore in so little time. Bridgette has managed to get by a bit with the Spanish she learned from watching Dora the Explorer when she was younger. 😂 Vamonos! Vamonos! . . . . . #bogotacolombia #worldtravel #travelnow #traveltogether #traveloften #worldschoolers #weareworldschoolers #beautifulplaces #southamerica #colombia #globetrotters #mytinyatlas #seetheworld #motherdaughter #passionpassport #tlpicks #traveljournal #worldschool #weekendvibes #beautifulview Yesterday was one of our hardest travel days to date. When we were searching for tickets to Colombia, we thought having a 12 hour layover in Mexico City would be a good idea, so that we could explore another new place. 12 hours turned into almost 20 hours and included an awful hostel experience, a forgotten passport, a medical scare from Bridge that nearly had us removed from the plane, and then being actually deplaned with everyone else after sitting on the plane for 3 hours due to mechanical issues. We finally arrived to Colombia at 4am and managed to get to our hotel and in bed before 6am. I was delirious by the time we arrived, having traveled for nearly 30 hours at that point, and kept wondering why I decided to do this worldschooling journey that is just soooooo hard at times. But then I see what a champ Bridge was through all the obstacles and challenges yesterday, and I realize I really do need to push myself out of my comfort zone in order for her to learn to do the same. And so we move forward today in a renewed spirit, and me, a renewed sense of purpose...for what we went through yesterday only made us stronger, and braver, and much more grateful. ❤️ ~ Side note: Mexico City is indeed a wonderful place and we really loved how cultural it was. Will definitely post more pics on our time there. . . . . . #worldschooling #worldschool #worldschooler #weareworldschoolers #parentingreflections #godsgrace #traveldays #traveldeeper #travelnow #mexicocity #exploremexicocity #travelwoes #teachingresilience #lifeskills #traveltogether #whywetravel #traveljournal #travelblogger #worldschoolers #parentingishard #tween #travel_captures #traveltheworld #travelersnotebook #seetheworld #globetrotter There are many skills to be learned naturally when we encourage our kids to spend time in the kitchen. Bridgette has learned so much through cooking and baking since she was little, including how to read/give clear instructions, how to convert different measurements, and how to use math to figure out proportions and ratios, amongst other things. She still loves to spend time in the kitchen now whenever we are home, and often creates her own unique dishes with what we have in the fridge. She’s becoming a really great chef and I always gladly step aside for her when she volunteers to cook for our family. 😂 . . . . . #homeschool #lifeskills #homeschoolers #worldschooling #worldschool #worldschoolers #juniorchef #lovetocook #chefsofinstagram #weareworldschoolers #childhoodunplugged #realeducation #math #bestiesforlife #futurechef #cookingisfun #homeschoollife #lifeskills #practicemakesperfect #bestfriendgoals #funinthekitchen #livinghealthy #cookmore #kitchentime #cooktogether #simplejoys #cookingupastorm #simplethingsinlife #alwayslearning Climate change is real. How do you educate and role model for your children on ways to protect our earth? This is one of the topics that Bridge and I are discussing this week, and we’re trying to come up with a list of changes we can implement in our lifestyle that would help us live more sustainably. It’s never too soon (or too late) to start discussing this as a family. Bridge has decided to give up plastic for her lent, and she’s finding out first hand how difficult it is because there is so much usage of plastic in our daily lives, without us realizing it! Eating out has its challenges too, but so far, the places we patron have been respectful about Bridgette’s request to use non plastic items for her food and drink. 💪🏻
