#30DaysWild Day 11 – Seeing greenery

It’s been a beautiful day today so, of course, our pre-arranged activity was an indoor one.  But there are so many party invitations to accept when you’re four and you certainly can’t deny the lure of a bouncy castle and cake. But, of course, as well...

#30DaysWild Day 10 – J is for Jaguar

Today’s rain saw the minis coalescing to cause chaos in the supermarket and DIY shop aisles rather than running through fields of wheat. I did get slightly excited when I thought I spotted a goldfinch early in the day but daddy Malpi made it quite clear our...

#30DaysWild Day Nine – Messing about on the river

On day two of last year’s #30DaysWild, Grandmum joined Willow and I for a gentle cruise down the river that leaves from the Brayford Pool in the city centre. This year, it was Luke and Faith’s turn to join me on the same trip. Having enjoyed a boat trip...

Another June, another vote.  We had to wait until day 23 of last year’s #30DaysWild to be asked to put our cross in a box – a simple action with huge ramifications. Last year, the Purple, white and green colours I spotted on the way to and from our polling...

#30DaysWild Day Six – puddle splashing

Today was definitely a puddle jumping day and Willow is a champion splasher! She’s even been known to create her own puddles for jumping in from our drinking bottle when Mother Nature hasn’t been so obliging – not an issue it appears she’ll...

#30DaysWild Day Five – Everybunny Dance!

Today is the start of National Bookstart Week and with 2017’s theme being Let’s Explore Outdoors! it complements #30DaysWild really helpfully! I picked up a copy of this year’s chosen book, Everybunny Dance! by Ellie Sandall when visiting Lincoln Toy...

Doing the Sling Swing

At the same time you’re battling a postpartum body the reason for it is quite possibly preventing you doing anything about it. And even if you’re quite rightly proud of your tiger stripes a little injection of exercise endorphins wouldn’t go amiss....
