Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and so with the beginning of Lent I was inspired to commence easter preparations. I have been visualizing some wool felted bunny ears for a while and today I went to work making them- the beauty of creativity, holding something in your minds eye and then manifesting it! I made this […]
Bleary eyed, but bushy tailed I rose from bed to the excited voice of Maya “Mummy, the Easter Bunny has been!”. Any thoughts of telling her to go back to sleep, remained just that, my thoughts, as I woke up with the sunrise. Elle was still sound asleep as Maya inspected her Easter basket by […]

Her Teachers organised the baskets, helped the children fill them with soil, and plant the wheatgrass seeds. The children watered the seeds, talked to the seeds, and […]
