Reuse 🎃🎃🎃 I really wanted to sew Philly's costume this year, but we're moving house in a couple of days, so all my fabrics are packed, and honestly I haven't got a spare moment! We found this costume in the chairty shop and she is over the moon! So many of these plastic-based costumes go to landfill, it's really worth scouting out the second hand/charity shops and Facebook sell for your costumes! Stops them going to waste, and the thrill of your little human getting their costume is just as big for them as if you'd got them new. Halloween is really exciting to me, especially as we didn't celebrate it as kids, but definitely a celebration to be really aware of plastic and single-use waste. Some other ideas I've got for this season are... Making allergy friendly biscuits for trick-or-treaters Making decorations from organic materials (leaves, pumpkins, squashed, beeswax/soy candles) Buying pumpkins that taste good and having pumpkin meals after the big day (recepies to follow) What are your waste reducing tips?? 👻🤡👽☠️💀🧟
My wonderful warrior Mumma friend @joannamarieduffelljones got me my @yesmummaproject golden boobies badge and I'm so over moon looking back at our feeding journey. No matter how you do it, nourishing a baby with food, experiences and love for a whole year is a huge achievement, and I'm really pleased to give myself a pat on the back for my second round of human rearing this year 💪 all the other Mummas and Pappas here I hope you find little ways to celebrate your parenting achievements, and the achievements of your tribe too. Receiving this little badge from a dear friend is a big deal for me, my parent guilt is constant!! Having someone else give me a little pat on the back like this really reminds me to spend a moment not thinking about all the things I haven't done, and focus on what a cracking job I've done with my cracking offspring 🥰😍 How do you celebrate parenting wins?
My little green bean is one! A whole trip around the sun ☀️ A year ago, I couldn't see where my life was going to take me, I felt scared alone and I'd built all kinds of walls around myself as a result. From the moment this little human came into the world I have learnt so much from her, and her calm healing spirit has bought so much into our lives. She's mended my heart and paved the way for so much love to flow into my life, and the lives of the people I care about. I'm sitting here now on the way to celebrate in the forest with two children who fill my life, the man I love, and a pug. So grateful for my little woodland soul.
Feeling autumnal with our Merino knits from @mamaowl_ #lovemamaowl Really loving this weather change (although the family is busy being ravaged by flu this week) and Merino base layers are my fave way to keep everyone warm. We're often asked where the kids clothes are from so I thought we'd share. We choose wool as a really lovely and luxurious alternative to cotton and plastic based fabrics. I've also just learned to darn, which means our wool clothing will be lasting even longer 😍
One of the best ways to encourage your little people to care about the planet is to celebrate in its beauty. I've been reading some research lately which concludes that teaching children about the full environmental catastrophe too young will lead them to process the science as traumatic and disengage with activism and action. It makes sense to me to build an environmentalist in the early years through live of nature instead. It's easy to forget the magic of the natural environment as an adult. You've seen it all, and many parents haven't engaged with nature actively for most of their adult life. But taking the time to excite and celebrate in the changing seasons, in the gross and the gorgeous, in sunsets and plant names will model to your little humans that nature is to be cherished. This also has the tremendous benefit of grounding you as an adult, allowing you to slow down, and breathe in the wonderful world around you. I'd love to see some pictures of you all enjoying your local wildlife, please please post some pictures of your little people exploring nature with the hashtag #heymummawolf and I'll share my favourite ones 🥰
BIG CHANGES 🏡 For some kids even the little transitions throughout the day can be stressful, so big changes, in our case a move of house, can bring out unpredictable and worrying behaviour. Just thought I would share some tips I've picked up on making big changes like a house move easier on small people. The first step for us with any bug emotion is to acknowledge and validate the feeling. Discussing our children's concerns, being honest about our own concerns, and reassuring them that it's normal to feel mixed up when the house is in boxes and the parents are running around flapping. A visual aid to assist with how many sleeps there are until the move helps with a sense of security. We can have fun scribbling out a little picture of a bed every time we have a sleep, and then count how many sleeps are left until the move. Doing paintings, making things, discussing and visualizing how life will look in the new house. Decorating and crafting things for the new bedroom. Making sure to follow through and actually place these things where they've been imagining them. Keeping the days as predictable as possible with the help of a routine chart. Embracing any ways that big emotions come out and not being scared of them! Any tips from any other Mummas of house moving? 🥰
