As the sun rose across the ocean on a crisp spring morning we knew it was going to be a day to remember.
With friends, family and a view like this how could it not be. It is so easy to get lost in my laptop, my need to tick everything off that never ending list of daily ‘must do’s’, and forget that days like this is just at my fingertips.
Sometimes I need to remind myself that as much as life is busy and setting an example to my children about good work ethics are important, so is getting back to nature and remembering that our world truly is beautiful. School, work, and commitments are all important parts of our life, but we need to embrace our happy, we need to get out, be active and play, those life lessons are just as important to teach our children.
I want my children to know balance, to know when to work hard, and when to take a moment to just have fun.
I hope you have some fun planned for this upcoming week. Let me know what you love doing for fun in the comment section below.
Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx

It’s so nice to step away from the computer sometimes isn’t it?
We love spending time outdoors with our kid especially now that the days are shortening and during the week we do not manage to do much after work and kindergarten. Switching off the phone is just healty, but not so easy as it seems.
Lovely post and you’re right you do need to embrace our happy I love switching off and having fun outdoors with my son it’s the best! Mandy xxx #ExplorerKids
I couldn’t have put it better myself Mac! That all elusive balance… Lovely beach, and I’m not a fan of sand sticking everywhere but there’s not denying a bit of salty sea air works wonders! Thanks so much for linking up to #HighlightsofHappy
And thanks also for sharing with #sharethejoylinky !
Sometimes we all have to step away…and If I haved that view, I’d be out like trout! <3 I love your happy view! #ExplorerKids xoxo

This is such an important message especially today in our technological world where everything happens at warp speed. We need to stop and mentally reload. #thesatsesh
Popping back to say thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸 Still love this post 💙
Hear hear! My thoughts have been erring the same way this week, as I’m slowly coming to realise that my kids and I need to spend much more time outside during the week for our wellbeing. The shortening days don’t help, but I’m determined to work towards some sort of balance before Christmas. Thank you for the reminder x

What a gorgeous beach, I try hard to mainly work and not be online whilst me kids are indoors but it can be very hard to switch off – we had a fairly quiet weekend at home and it was nice, Sarah #ExplorerKids
Lovely! I couldn’t agree more! I do the same. We seem to be all consume by work that sometimes we just need to drop everything and take a brake in doing something else this fun and make everlasting memories.
Thank you so much Mac for joining us on #ExplorerKids x
What brilliant photos. I totally agree. Sometimes it is too easy to get consumed with work and everyday life. We need to step away. x #pointshoot
I think we all need to have break from time to time and nothing better then being out in nature X #pointshoot
This is so true – we all need to raise up from time to time and take a look around #PointShoot
You are so right that we need to model balance and having fun to our kids. Your message of I wanting your children “to know balance, to know when to work hard, and when to take a moment to just have fun” is a really important one. #thesatsesh
Back again Mac, with love from #pointshoot xoxo
You know, I walked away for about 5 days and I feel so behind, stressed and out of the loop! Hi, from #thesatsesh xoxo
