7 Reasons to be Mindful

The Woodland Wife - 10 Reasons to be Mindful

A few weeks ago I wrote ‘A Day of Mindfulness‘; since becoming a mother and receiving my Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) diagnosis, I have come to learn more than ever, that I need to slow down the pace and become more aware of the present moment. My daily mindfulness is practiced whilst outdoors, in the place I feel most at ease and it is my ‘Mindful…

Wild & Gorgeous in the woods

The Woodland Wife - Wild and Gorgeous AW16

With Autumn in the air and all the changes the season brings to the woods, our wardrobes are gradually making the shift to warmer Autumn clothing. We took a walk in the woods earlier this week, my daughter wearing her beautiful new Autumn dress from Wild & Gorgeous. Much like the seasons changing, Wild & Gorgeous have been going through…

Change can be beautiful – Autumn in the Woods

The Woodland Wife - Autumn in the Woods

There have been a few signs that Autumn was coming in and around the woods over the last few weeks. This afternoon, as the breeze blew through the trees and the leaves began to fall, we ventured out into the woods to take it all in… The woodland floor is gradually beginning to show some colour; the bracken gradually changing from…

A Day of Mindfulness

16th August 2016 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - A Day of Mindfullness

In December 2010, I went through a dreadful time, life seemingly began to unravel and I found myself engrossed in my own negative thoughts. I took the bold move of taking a trip to India alone, where I practiced yoga, meditation as well as worked on personal development. It was the worst time of my life, but also the most liberating…

Go outside and make a real connection

The Woodland Wife - Go outside and make a real connection

This morning on a trip into the village to run some errands, I saw a note on the church door about Pokemon and how you can catch one inside. Call me old fashioned, out-of-touch or ignorant if you like, but having come home to read up on ‘Pokemon Go’ to find out what on earth the note meant, I was horrified. Is it this…

Woodland Walks and Adventures

The Woodland Wife - Woodland Walks and Adventures

With a very important third birthday fast approaching, I have once again been thinking about how fast time is flying by. After days of sickness, endless laundry and housework, I looked at my darling girl, who was sweetly doing some cutting and sticking at her play table with the dog lying at her feet and I told myself “enough” and decided to take time out with…

Beautiful seed boxes for Garden Lovers, Franklyn + Vincent

9th June 2016 · By thewoodlandwife

Franklyn + Vincent Seed Box

Anyone who knows me, or follows Instagram will know how much I enjoy my garden. I love nothing more than growing my own flowers and vegetables, as well as simply enjoying the garden we created from scratch in the middle of the woods. Just recently, we built the greenhouse; once complete, in went my seedlings, grow bags for the tomatoes, pots, trays, you name it, everything I…

Signs of Spring in the woods

12th April 2016 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Signs of Spring in the woods

The milder weather has brought our woodland to life. In the middle of the bleak, Winter months, I look out to bare chestnut stools, far out into the woods and remind myself that in a few months, I won’t be able to see deep into the woods because the lush green foliage will block the view. In Spring, the view changes…

  • Flecks of green are returning to the woods.
  • I might have been up most of the night for a week now and we have no heating in our freezing tatty home, BUT it’s all about finding joy in the little things right?
...Like being up and out together, layered up collecting eggs and whispering excitedly while we watch the deer that graze just yards from the house each day ✨

Have a happy Sunday one and all, here’s to those little joys xx
  • Ready to unfurl
  • When I watch these two, I often wonder how much Birdie will remember of these days since her sister arrived, as well as if she’ll remember the time before, just me and her.
Anyone out there who has a 5 year age gap with their sibling, or their own children who have any insight?
