The power of a tree - the power of nature.

This week I came across a blossom tree. A tree sparkling in the blue sky and shimmering with beautiful white blossom.

The sheer beauty of the blossom tree pulled me in. The little details were magical.

This soulful moment is what memories are made of.

Five ways to use your senses and connect with nature each day.

How can we use our senses to connect each day with nature and boost our wellbeing?

There is more and more scientific research emerging about the benefits of nature. All you have to do is use Ecosia (the new eco google) and search “the benefits of nature” to discover the new and evolving science and reasons to connect with nature.

Nature is good for your memory, boosts your mood, improves attention and boosts creativity. However I am asking you to look into your heart and ask yourself, do you really need this evidence? Do you already understand the true power of nature on your wellbeing? Can you feel it?

Favourite eco friendly swaps of 2020

For over a year now I have been on a personal journey exploring and discovering sustainable products and eco-friendly products for the home, family and my own personal use. During lockdown I found more time to consider my every purchase and to discover and connect with local sellers making and selling ethical and eco conscious products. Here are a few of my favourite swaps of 2020 so far.

The weeks seem to whizz on by and the kids have been enjoying playing in the garden, collecting snails and making Harry Potter wands from sticks.

We have been getting outside as much as possible and the benefits to our health and wellbeing is amazingly positive.

"Look for the light in the everyday" - positive thinking for our wellbeing during lockdown

This week I have been “looking for the light” not just whilst out walking with the camera but in the everyday too.

t’s been a tough week and I know we are all experiencing these same emotions. What has hit me though is the impact on my children.

Where will your family visit first after lockdown? Five of our family favourites near Bristol.

I have been dreaming this week. Dreaming of the day that we are able to get out and visit places once again. So I thought, I’d ask the boys where their favourite family places are. This is what we came up with.

These are a few of our favourite family trips where we love to visit, meet friends, explore and have fun and of course my camera usually comes too. Where are your family favourites? I’d love to hear.

Let's lift each other up through nature and photography for health and wellbeing.

I wanted to share and celebrate with you the wonderful photos that have been captured in the online Connect and Create photography group. This is a space where we have been sharing our nature photos from our daily walks or garden and I have been setting a theme to help guide the photography each day.

It’s a bit of fun and it’s a lovely way to connect with one another and share the different colours out there that nature offers.

Finding joy and gratitude in the beauty of everyday

Embracing kindness and nature at this time for our health and wellbeing

Over the past week I have been reminded through many different shapes and forms that kindness should always be at the centre of everything that we do.

It is easy to be sidetracked and overwhelmed by the current interchanging environment but through kindness to ourselves and others we can remain positive, connected and grounded at this time.

Our mood is variable and I think that is it really important for us all to accept this changeable state with kindness.

Connect and Create - for your own health and wellbeing

I believe that being outside and being amongst nature is good for the soul.

The research continues to build and the evidence is clear. However for me, this all came about through my own personal experience.

Two years ago, our family made the move to the countryside. One of the best decisions to date for our family. We have four boys and the space of the country is what we needed. However I didn’t anticipate the move being as stressful as it turned out to be.
