Supporting learning at home

20th September 2018 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Supporting learning at home

With all the policies and procedures, friendship groups and general exhaustion that comes with school, we have noticed a shift in our daughter’s general demeanour since the new school year has begun. For the most part she loves school and despite what we see as some shockingly absent ‘non-academic’ timetabled subjects at this key stage of her education, most days she…

The Woodland Wife - Flower Fairy Party - Woodland Party - Fairy Wings - Fairies

A Flower Fairy birthday party for our daughter’s 5th Birthday, inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s ‘Flower Fairies’ illustrations. With our daughter’s 5th birthday looming our daughter asked for a ‘Fairy’ Party to celebrate with her friends.

The Woodland Wife - Kent Bluebell Woods - Nellie Quats Linen Pinafore - Bluebells - Blue Haze

Over the past few weeks we have been enjoying a daily assault on our senses here in the woods. Each morning as we opened our garden door, the scent of bluebells filled the air. A short wander into the woods and we were greeted by a magical sight: a carpet of blue, a haze of delicate flowers that stretched right out…

Ethically Produced, Organic children’s bedding – Forivor – Inspiring Magical Sleep

9th January 2018 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Forivor - Ethical & Organic children's bedding - inspire magical sleep through nature and storytelling

Anyone who knows me and my journey into Motherhood will know that my daughter’s sleep has been and continues to be a real struggle. As a baby, she wouldn’t go to sleep anywhere but on me, so we co-slept (we occasionally still do!) as it was and very occasionally still is the only way my birdy will sleep! On my…

Exploring the Wild - Nellie Quats AW17 - Comfortable, Simple, Stylish Childrenswear

To say the last few months have been a whirlwind would be an understatement, for me as a mother I have watched my sweet girl adjust to a new pace of life with the start of school. Many warned me about how exhausted she would be as we approached the end of the year, but I still don’t think I…

The Woodland Wife - Made for Adventure - Mini Micro Scooter - Customised Scooter

As a mother there have been times when a small bribe is the only way to see ‘results’; my daughter’s thumb sucking had reached new levels and with the start of school looming something substantial was needed to break the habit, this was where I had a brainwave and my bribery plan was hatched! “Darling, if you stop sucking your thumb…

The Woodland Wife - Woodland Explorer Birthday Party

For the first three years of my daughter’s life, we never had birthday parties for friends, keeping things really small with just family, it has always been so lovely doing that, however this year, our little girl made it VERY clear that she wanted a party with all of her friends there!

  • 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?
