πŸŒ›πŸŒ Moon Cycles 🌝🌜

Before I had Lily I never thought much about the moon or it's cycles or appreciated how beautiful it actually is until I saw it through her eyes ✨
As most of you would know Lily loves the moon, she was gifted a huge moon cycle wall lamp for her birthday and a moon torch that she packs in her hand bag to take everywhere with her ✨
Every night she says goodnight to the moon and loves to go outside or sit at our front window and watch the moon ✨
When it's full we...

πŸŒΏβ˜€οΈ Sunshine Wattle Playdough β˜€οΈπŸŒΏ


When I asked Lily the other day what color playdough she wanted to make she said she said sunshine colour β˜€οΈ

Usually we would reach for the tumeric which makes a great natural dye but I wanted to try something different and use our beautiful wattle that's blooming at the moment β˜€οΈ

What we used

β˜€οΈ Bunch of fresh wattle
β˜€οΈ Large bowl (use a old bowl as the color can stain)
β˜€οΈ Flour, Salt, Coconut oil

For the dye we simply crushed wattled flowers with our mortar and pestle until we were left with a beautiful yellow dust of wattle and added it to our...

πŸŽ„πŸ¦Œ Reindeer Headband πŸ¦ŒπŸŽ„

We made our own reindeer headband this year reusing a headband we already had at home!
