Some days... 😑
Especially when you just got used to your new ‘freedom’ with all the amazing #outdooradventures again and it’s raining for days.
We’re super happy though that today was much better with lots of fresh air, beach walks and cycling.

Happy weekend everyone! 🥂

Leaf identification - our leaf puzzle is such a hit at home! We started with painting all the leaves, afterwards we matched them with the right trees and we even took the puzzle pieces with on our walk to look for matching leaves. 🍃 🍁
Our 2 -year old loves adding other items to the puzzle; our #ecoglitter, flowers, leaves and snails. It keeps him busy for hours! He was a bit frustrated though that the snails didn’t stay in their allocated spot.. 😂

Our outdoor time in the morning is not enough for this little guy.. Peeking through the wall to see the outside world and asking to go to the ‘Vlei’.. 😢

We can’t wait for level 3 and a bit more freedom!

NATURE CROWNS 🍃

Such a fun and easy to do activity! These nature crowns have been on our to do list for quite a while. We first spotted them via @yourwildbooks and now recently got inspired by the beautiful crowns that @what.sophie.saw made with her kids.
Haven’t had a chance yet to take a pic of the other 2 with their crowns, but this little one was super proud and happily playing with his one on all day long. 💛 .

FREEDOM!

We had our first little outside adventure this morning. And it was so nice to be out for a bit, we all needed this! Very lucky to have the Vlei right on our doorstep! 🍃

After our walk the kids just sat in the street for a bit and looked (from a distance) at all the people walking by, they were amazed!

Did you go out this morning, how did it feel?

Sharing a little extra encouragement during a time

Sharing a little extra encouragement during a time like this.

There’s no need to push yourself or your kids, you really don’t have to make the most of this lockdown, remember it’s a global pandemic! 😷

I’m really grateful for this ‘slow’ time we can spend together as a family. But I’ve also noticed it’s impossible for me to do it all everyday: homeschooling with 3 kids, working, cleaning, cooking... It’s a lot!
Listen to your own/family’s needs and don’t stress about being productive. Instead of worrying about unfinished schoolwork, do something fun with your kids (or just have a glass of wine). This will benefit your kiddos and their feelings too! 💛

Take care everyone, have a lovely weekend! .

Today’s a good day! 🙌

We have had our ups and downs the past 3 weeks, but I’m so proud to see how the kids are coping with all of this and how they keep themselves entertained (if they’re not fighting 😂). .

We started the morning with some exercise, followed by a little bit of school work and a lot of messy play in the garden! .

At the moment the kids are gardening with hubby and I’m having some ‘alone time’ in the hammock. Big win! 🥂

Have a lovely weekend! .

Homemade nature playdough! 🍃⠀
⠀
We’ve made our own playdough! So much fun to make, great activity to do together with the kids. And amazing to play with. It has such a lovely texture, very calming for the mamas too. ⠀
⠀
The ingredients we used for one ball of playdough:⠀
1/2 cup flour⠀
1/2 cup water⠀
1/4 cup salt⠀
1/2 tbsp cream of tartare⠀
1/2 tbsp cooking oil⠀
1 tsp powder for color: beetroot, turmeric, cacao, spinach, spirulina, paprika.⠀
⠀
The first thing to do is mix all your ingredients in a saucepan and cook the dough. It takes around 2 minutes (low heat - until it clumps together as a ball). Knead well and add yo colour while still warm.⠀
⠀
That’s it, so easy. Have fun mamas!⠀

Feels like a while ago already.. This is literally our back garden. We can see the Vlei from our house, but are unable to access it now. Such a strange feeling.. 🍃

I’m sure our dog misses this freedom too. We’re very lucky with our garden though, where the kids and dog can still run wild. 🍃

Day 5 of lockdown, how’s everyone doing?
Mixed feelings on this side, there are worries.. But (although it’s busy) I’m really enjoying all the quality time with our little ones. ✨

It seems like they’re so much more relaxed now, after having been home for 2 weeks.. Although they do miss their friends, they’re happy. It seems like they’ve found a new normal (for now). 🙌

I think we’ll never have too much to do with our kids these days. A Scavenger hunt in the garden is always a win. If your little ones enjoy this too, let me know so I can send you our printable Nature Scavenger Hunt list. It keeps them busy for ours! Just DM me :) 🍃

If you want to do some more ‘hunting’, make sure to head on over to @justamamma. She has some amazing nature and colour hunts on her blog, plus loads of other amazing activities which you can do with your little ones. .

A few days before lockdown we went on a #NatureScavengerHunt (far away from other people), we’re still using the list and all treasures we found. Not only for art, but also to be able to do a treasure hunt. I’ve been hiding all items around the house and garden, so much fun for the kids!

What have you all been up to the last 2 days? .

Beach time!
We love going to the beach; splashing in the ocean, building sandcastles, exploring the tide-pools, and looking for animals hiding underneath rocks.
For me, the beach also has a calming effect. The sound of the waves and feet in the sand makes me unwind instantly.

Still a great place to go now during #covid19. .

School of the day - the forest! 🍃

As we all know, staying home with the kids all day can be a bit of a challenge.. 🍃

So if you’ve also chosen for #socialdistancing as much as possible - not because you fear that you’ve the virus, but because you want to protect the more vulnerable people around you.
You can still enjoy outdoor activities like going for a hike, riding bikes and going to the beach. Spending time in natural environments is so important for children (and adults), it improves their mental and physical well-being.

Playground equipment though, which are being touched by children who may not have the best hygiene, is best to avoid.

Healthy children will get through this without a problem. But remember, with Corona children are often the transmitters, not the victims.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones! .
