🌼The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness. Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart. - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass ✨🌏

Nine months old today ✨ where has the time gone?

Nine months old today ✨ where has the time gone? Little man can now crawl, say ‘mum’, pull himself up to standing on EVERYTHING including the windowsill, coffee table, TV unit, the couch and his walker (my day is now adrenaline filled as I run around after him trying to make sure he doesn’t fall), he is beginning to walk while holding onto his walker, he has two teeth, he loves my cooking (especially my Dahl and Chickpea Sweet Potato Curry), he enjoys being outside and this morning he ate dirt for the first time #IWasntQuickEnough 🤦🏽‍♀️

Winter sunshine, fresh air, full and flowing rivers, children laughing, chai lattes, happy babies, and amazing friends. What more could I ask for on our last day of freedom for 6 weeks? #Grateful

🚨 NEW RECIPE ALERT 🚨
Last week, my laptop of 10 years finally died, it served me well through two different uni degrees and starting my blog. I now have a new one and can finally post recipes to my blog again 🎉 - my old laptop wasn’t letting me create, preview or post recipes - not ideal 🤦🏽‍♀️. First up is this delicious Pumpkin, Kale and Risoni soup, it is SO good and perfect for these cold winter days! Soup in winter is warming, nourishing, finger licking soul food, good for your digestion and supportive of your spleen and stomach. If you don’t know what to eat this week, I’ve just solved your problem, you can thank me later. If you’re in a soup mood, I also put up a recipe for my roast sweet potato ginger soup, options options. Link to this bowl of goodness is in my bio 🌱

Got a little creative this morning and made some lavender rosemary smudge sticks while the babe napped 🔮 lavender promotes healing, love and happiness while providing protection and purification, rosemary purifies and cleanses while promoting longevity and concentration ✨🌱 anyone else feeling the need to cleanse their space after the year we’ve had thus far? Smudge sticks have been used in indigenous cultures for thousands and thousands of years, you can use them to cleanse the energy of a space, your crystals or even yourself. Many smudge sticks on the market today are actually sage however I’m breastfeeding so prefer to avoid that particular herb for now. It’s so easy to make your own with some herbs from your garden and twine made of a natural fibre such as cotton or hemp 👌🏽 if anyone needs a smudge stick, let me know 🌿✨

‘’The most difficult part of birth is the firs

‘’The most difficult part of birth is the first year afterwards. It is the year of travail - when the soul of a woman must birth the mother inside her. The emotional labour pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, perhaps it is even more sacred.” - Joy Kusek
