When I’m not complaining about my health or lying around feeling rubbish, I have enjoyed obsessing over the write up for this e-course which looks fabulous. Not in my budget right now (those jabs won’t pay for themselves) but I will be investing in her book when it comes out in the summer. I love the idea of allowing environment to shape experience and looking at the gorgeous pics on the Playful Learning website had me hooked on the idea…
About a month ago I was diagnosed with something called Pernicious Anemia. Basically this means I can’t process B12 which is A Bad Thing. I’m not making enough blood and feel quite rubbish. I’m still working on the treatment with my naturopath, the first try hasn’t worked out so we are now onto bi-weekly injections which I’m hoping will give me the boost I need. One of the side effects of this problem is fatigue and this week I have really…
Today we fully savoured the beauty of spring on our own land. Each hour we spend in this place, basking in the warming sun, exploring, playing, listening, being, it feels as though it belongs to us a little more. And a little more we belong to it.

I recently signed on for a trial with the Simply Charlotte Mason Organiser, I’ve really enjoyed it and one of the amazing benefits is the bookfinder which can be used for free. Because I use the organiser I can directly schedule things from the finder but it is a great resource for anyone looking to expand their reading list. One of the books I…
Who loves vintage pyrex? Come on, you know you do. The beautiful colours, the fabulous patterns, the opaque milky goodness and knowing it is environmentally friendly to boot. Well my sister and I share something of a pyrex fetish obsession interest so when I was out on a bit of a flea market mission yesterday (that was where I took the picture of the fabulous green and orange barstools, oh yes they will be mine) I took some piccies of…
What did your weekend look like?
Since I saw and loved this trailer for movie called Mother Nature’s Child, on Lola’s blog, I’ve been preoccupied with some of the ideas explored even in this short segment. While not all of these situations could be applied to our life, I think that it is interesting to consider the significance of outside time and time in nature. First I would draw a distinction between simply outside as opposed to in nature. While time on a playground or playing…
A blissful afternoon at the Agriculture Museum sharing time with lovely friends, watching children explore and absorb. All around is evidence of this new season, life bursting everywhere, energetically charging the world around. Close ups… Baby love (the goat babies were born less than an hour before, we watched one take milk for the first time)… Big eyed beauty… Unlikely friends… As Huwyl said this afternoon, after playing in the blazing sunshine outside “Summer is finally here! Summer is upon…
Happy weekend.
Captured in images, a single moment from the week. A moment to treasure and savour from our ordinary and very special life. Joining Amanda in this Friday ritual. We’re off to look at tractors this weekend, wishing everyone fun adventures!
