A moment in time to remember. To savour. Teaching him that it's OK to stand up for what you believe in. Inspired by Owlet Mama

Focusing on simple this week, after an absolute shocker last week. (Never let anyone tell you babies are hard. Three year olds are HARD! and hilarious and fun and challenging and wonderful but hard). This week has looked like #zeroplansday every day and doing what feels good - a lot of parks, a lot of time outside - meditation and movement each day for me however that looks, dance offs and favourite foods and glasses of wine. Blooms from last weekend when I escaped to a beautiful bridal kitchen tea. 🌻

We've been walking here a lot lately to enjoy a housemade chai to share while T snoozes on my chest. There's also a new Life post up on blackteawhitepages.com Link in profile. ✌

Week 2 of @plasticfreejuly and we (I) said a definitive yes to this bottle of bubbles. Quelle horreur! . Why you ask? Well as any friend/family/random person on the street can tell you, if you offer my kids "stuff" - meaningless plastic toys and gadgets that will be played with for a day before being left to languish on a shelf and never looked at again - 99 times out 100 I'll say no pretty bluntly. Or do something between a grimace and a smile before suggesting it be kept as a present/in their own toy box. . These bubbles were that one rare time I said yes. A reward for meeting a reading challenge at @brisbanelibraries and it will provide endless hours of fun, in a bottle we can and will refill and reuse until it absolutely can't be used again. Then we'll make sure it's disposed of properly. . And that's what I'm trying to instill in my kids. Find fun and pleasure in things, but use your discrimination about what you say yes to and what you bring into your home. . Ok, ramble over. Happy Wednesday if you made it this far.

Morning catch up with @seeking_my_joy This in my belly now🌈👌 Probably just as well, because I won't be able to move for a few days thanks to a pilates class.

Yesterday we spent hours at the park. I packed a plastic free picnic, took a blanket, more than a few MCNs, and my book and bundled the toddler into the pram and off we walked. There was mud to be stomped in, leaves and seeds to examine, sun to bask in, rolls to be practiced, luscious words to read. Such a simple day with absolutely no plans or expectations, and that's why I think it was kinda magical. It also made it abundantly clear to me that this slow, low waste life we're living is the right one for us. We returned home muddy, happy and relaxed - a marked contrast to those days we rush around or spend too much time inside watching screens (although I do love me a Netflix sesh - let's be honest) Let's all reconnect to nature. Or, you know, thank the new moon for the chilled vibes.

Ways in which to fail at hiding your dislike of selfies... obscure your face with a mug (and show off your weird way of holding them too). It's been a while since I've shown any face on here, let alone my own so here you go. And this #awkwardselfie is in honour of day 1 of @plasticfreejuly There's also a new blog up about prepping for our third year (link in profile). Are you taking part this year? If you're sitting on the fence, I've tagged the peeps who inspire me.
