One of my fave things to do and favourite times of

One of my fave things to do and favourite times of the day, getting outdoors with my kids, in nature, near the close of the day, reflecting on their infectious joy from their adventures and absorbing all that nature brings 🍃

We appreciate you Mama bear ❤️

As the rain came down today I was reminded of this

As the rain came down today I was reminded of this photo I took of an adventure to the quarry park when we got caught out in the rain. I distinctly remember watching the raindrops bouncing off the water by the lily pads and the vibrant colour of the lillies.
A reminder of how amazing nature is all around us and the colours, textures, sounds, smells and tastes it creates, but also of how powerful our memories are, they can put us in an instant back to a time or place.
This is your reminder to stop for a moment in the day and just observe/appreciate nature in all its glory, and a reminder that sometimes these moments are enough to reset your day or put a smile on your face.
Create those memories.

Most mornings I try and get up to our build site t

Most mornings I try and get up to our build site to watch the sunrise. There is something special about watching the sun ☀️ rise, and it’s my moment of peace before the hectic morning begins.
In fact I was just listening to a podcast today about the benefits of sun gazing and that Sunrise and sunset can offer some great benefits when UV is at its lowest and the healing benefits of Infrared are at their highest, definitely something I’m keen to learn more about.
Beyond that you can take a few morning breaths, be quiet and at peace and there really is something special watching this incredible ball rise into the sky 🌅 we are so lucky to have this view.

DIY laundry powder. I taught another DIY cleaning

DIY laundry powder. I taught another DIY cleaning class last weekend and laundry powder was one of the things on the list we made. This is so simple (and cheap) to make and just another way to reduce chemicals in the home.
Ingredients
- Washing soda (soda ash)
- Bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
- Fine pink salt
- Essential oils
How much? Depends on the size of the batch you want to make. I like to make a larger batch and fill my 2L glass jar with it.
For that I use 4 cups washing soda, 2 cups baking soda, 1 cup fine pink salt, 20-25 drops essential oils (you can add sodium per carbonate (oxygen bleach) if you want as well.
I get my raw materials from @blantsnz but equally Binn inn should have most of the ingredients also.
I love clean, fresh smelling oils in mine like Purify and Grapefruit, but you can use any combination.
Have you tried making your own washing powder before?

Shout to all the mums out there today, and not jus

Shout to all the mums out there today, and not just today but everyday!
For all the love and sacrifices made, for the caring and nurturing, for just being there when times are tough or an ear to listen to. This is for all the mums, those who still have babes and children earth-side and those in heaven, for the mums still with us and those who’ve passed on, foster mums, adoptive mums, step mums, fur baby mums and all the others who care for and look after others like their own, thinking of you all.
This second picture is special, this is both our mums enjoying brunch all together with us, we are very grateful to have them both still in our lives and that we can celebrate all together as a family 🥰
Ps. Good luck getting my younger one in a photo 😝 he didn’t even want to make me a card, he rides to the beat of his own drum and still love him.

As another journey round the sun is complete I tak

As another journey round the sun is complete I take a moment to think, what happened in those last 12 months, what have I learned and where do I want the next 12 to take me?
Reflection is so important and most of us are too busy to just rest, breathe and reflect.
I have more awareness, more perspective, more desire, I feel another layer peeled away as the new me peeks through just a little more.
Ever evolving, changing, growing, and open to expansion.
Life is short and must be seized everyday, presence with myself, my kids, hubby and family, these are important things, moments in time should be appreciated.
Not just dreaming but taking action. One step in front of the other, consistently creates change. And if it’s in the wrong direction just pivot and keep trying.
Staying in truth and alignment, continuing to listen to my body and intuition for decisions, not what ‘seems’ right.
Do that which you love, which brings you joy and spark, stay in that space.
Surround yourself with those who lift you up, but also expand and challenge you to be a better person in life and biz.
Just some musings ✨

Movement. It has been such a huge part of my life

Movement. It has been such a huge part of my life from very young. I have spent many years in competitive sports or just moving my body as I know I need this. What I only recently realised is the many ways movement can feed our soul and this is different for everyone.
Movement to lose weight
Movement to exercise
Movement to build muscle
Movement to be part of a group/connection
Movement for relaxation
Movement to ground yourself
Movement for rehabilitation
And then there is…
Movement for JOY
Dancing is this for me. Apart from the fact it is great exercise and can be great for building community and connection I mainly do it simply because it brings me joy.
I wish I could have told my 19yo self to go take that dance class I wanted to take and I’m sure it would have been in my life always.
Instead it has come and gone, like the seasons, also partly because there weren’t that many adult dance classes, but through all the various styles, people I’ve met, places I’ve danced, it has always brought me joy.
I was gutted to not be able to continue dancing at the end of last year thanks to mandates but am so excited to be back in a studio/space getting my movement on and feeling the joy that dancing 💃 creates.
What’s the the thing that brings you joy?
