We’ve been making our own flowers today! Ivy shows you how to make these pretty pom pom flowers (swipe for video). 🧶

Carrot cake and oatmeal are two of my favourite things, so of course I love this baked carrot cake oatmeal from @gkstories. Made the house smell so good too. 😋 (I put a link to the recipe in my stories)

Working today in here. Weekend shmeeekend! 🤷🏼‍♀️Thankful for this little garden studio, a respite from the craziness. Also thankful for ‘The Gruffalo’ and the 25 minutes of peace it affords. 💛

A few months ago I started work on my next e-course/online community, hoping to launch it at the end of this month. Like everyone else, however, this pandemic has thrown me a curve ball. Juggling work, motherhood, home schooling, etc., has been a challenge, but the course should hopefully be ready for May. It will be a 3-week course on ‘Pregnancy, Birth & the First Year’, and I’m so excited about this one because it will bring together a community of women, all in the same sacred season of life, to share, learn, inform and empower each other. 🌸 In the meantime, I’ve been receiving lots of requests for the last course I offered. With everyone stuck at home right now looking for connection and inspiration, I thought I should release it again. While I won’t be facilitating the course live, it will contain all of the written and video content I created. I’ve lowered the price to $150 AUD (roughly $90 USD), but if you’re struggling financially right now please email me. I will grant discount codes to anyone who would love to take part, no questions asked. Head to my website for more details. 💛

I asked her to tidy up the toys, then 15 minutes later I came back into the room and found her like this. 💓 Good ‘ol Kapla blocks, they never get old.

Carving potato stamps is actually more difficult than I thought it would be, but once we had our stamps, it was so much fun! We’re going to keep our papers to use as wrapping paper for presents. (Idea taken from @mollymahonblockprinting’s feed)🌟🌈🌟
