Due to Caitlin's aches and pains today, we have just been at home. We did manage to finish the painting of the playhouse porch (we laid a new floor on it). And managed to sort the toys to go in the playhouse. So the kids now have a play area outside, that is fully operational! … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 11
I bet you can't guess what we did today... oh yes... that's right. Another day in the garden. But today, patience and tolerance of being exposed to the "what's going to be... once the work is done" was too much for the children. It was awful. I mean, with attachment issues, change is never easy, … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 10
A bit late in posting this, but yes... you guessed it... another day in the garden for us. Seems to be our life at the moment. But we were spotting bugs as we went - this one was a favourite, as the children absolutely loved the colours. We did try and identify and it appears … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 9
Well it's been a long day... I didn't manage to get a photo of the 30 Days Wild activities in action... yes like most days at the moment we have been working in the garden. Desperately clearing the ground to try and ready it for the children's play area section. I'm ignoring the end 10 foot … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 8
So... Ummmmmm.... Yeah.... Day 7. We enjoyed some time outdoors... We laughed and we tried to kill eachother... We had a go at the Da Vinci bridge. Turns out it's quite difficult, especially with a child that is incapable of understanding instructions I mean quite literally can't take them in), and one that is but … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 7
Today we built a bee home, we didn't put it up yet, but we definitely built it. We were given it by one of the grandparents who'd been given it free with something ages ago, and just hadn't got a clue where we could put it (being in rentals, and not being able to make … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 6
So today, I don't really have a photo of what we got up to... because no one wants a photo of my muddy feet... We spent some time with our feet in mud, feeling connected. However, I can say that we also bought and built a climbing dome, which is going to not only be … Continue reading 30 Days Wild: Day 5
So, today... me and the two children woke up feeling sorry for ourselves (sneezy and sluggish). So it's been a bit of a slow starter. But we made some effort to clean and dress... and then after lunch took a stroll into town via the ducks and geese armed with birdseed. Very proud that the … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 4
Day 3 was spent sorting the garden again. Soon their playhouse will be able to go up, the play area will be sorted and then we can get down to business on the outdoor kitchen and fire pit area before building our veg patch area for next year. Cannot see much past the huge comfier … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 3
Today our activity spent getting closer to nature was being in our garden. When purchased our house, there was a section of garden 90 by 13 ft covered in bramble, bindweed, nettles and other various things. Under the canopy of leaves was glass, broken cans, rubbish etc. So to make it safe for the children, … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 2
