Photo mad wife and mummy of three+1, living the life I was meant to. Live the life you love, love the life you live!

Sabina Green
I have learnt a lot about my children during homes I have learnt a lot about my children during homeschooling. Watching their attitudes to learning, their personal thought cycles and how they approach a challenge. . I am so proud of how well they have coped and I wanted them to know, I wanted them to have something to look back on to remind them of this period in their lives. . At the start of our homeschooling journeyI bought my first @zox band, 'Just Breathe' to remind me to stop and not resct so quickly. The Beans loved it and would always comment whenever I wore it. . For Lillie's birthday I bought her 'Ohana' which means Family or those we love. . Yesterday a special delivery arrived, i had chosen 'Believe In Yourself' for Albie as he often doubts himself and his abilities. I told him that I had seen he needed that extra reassurance but he was more than capable if he could just trust in himself. . For Ollie I chose 'Love You To The Moon'. Throughout homeschooling he has has worked hard and independently. He is self driven and doesn't ask for much which sometimes means he gets less attention because the others need so micmore but it doesn't meam we love him any less, I wanted him to remember how much he is loved. . For Lillie i chose 'You Can Move Mountains'. She and Albie are one and the same child!! She looks at a new challenge and says 'I can't do it' but with a little encouragement she nails it every time, she just needs that initial nudge. . And for me? 'You Got This' because maybe, just maybe I am more like Lillie and Albie than I care to admit 😉 . After I had presented the Beans with their new Zox, I looked to Albie who had a trembling bottom lip. I asked what was wrong and he replied "my band isn't very colourful" so with the help of some Sharpies we gave his Zox a makeover and plastered a smile all over his face!! Thank goodness for the humble Sharpie!! 😂🌈 . . . . . . . . . #covid_19diaries #lifeinlockdown #suddenlyhomeschooling #proudmama #mymessagetoyou #ukmumsquad #amwfparentingtribe #blogjul100 #sharpieart #zoxbands #zox #believeinyourself #loveyoutothemoon #youcanmovemountains #yougotthis #selfconfidemce #selfbelief #mumlife #myworld #mymotherhood #myordinarylife #rememberthesedays
#ad-gifted - ART! . When I first found out that I #ad-gifted - ART! . When I first found out that I would be homeschooling the children for a while I knew there were a few things I wanted to do differently. . Sure I planned to follow the curriculum and not stray too far from what their teachers had in mind but I also wanted to try a few new things. . Back at the beginning of lockdown you may recall that the Beans joined me in some online art classes with the Art teacher who I have been going to for a while now. The children LOVED it and surprised themselves with what they were capable of. . A few weeks later I was contacted by @cosmourse to see if the children would like to try out their online art classes. So last week Lillie and Ollie joined in two separate classes on the theme of Fashion. . The classes are planned for different age groups so Ollie was in the 7-10 year old class and Lillie was in the 11-14 year old class. . The classes take place via an hour long Zoom session, the details if which are sent to you prior to the class along with a list of materials you will need. . Both children really enjoyed the classes, though Ollie struggled to keep up at times because he started off by drawing his first figure too small. With a bit of help from Mum and Dad we had him back on track. He was really happy with his finished artwork and can make more clothes for his figures so he can change his art when he wants to. . Lillie really loved making the background for her artwork and went on to make more after the session had ended. . This week it will be Albie's turn, his theme is Bridges so my little construction man is very excited!! . Sessions cost £15 per hour and all instruction is given throughout the session. The themes change daily so find a theme to suit your artist online at Cosmourse. . They even do birthday party classes!! Perfect for social distancing celebrations 🎉 . . . . . . . #covid_19diaries #lifeinlockdown #ONLINEARTCLASS #artclass #learnart #kidsofinstagram #kidsart #socialdistancing #socialdistancecelebrations #ukmumsquad #amwfparentingtribe #juneblog100 #fashion #mumlife #mumblogger #pbloggerkids #ukparentbloggers #pblogger #myhappycapture #capturingchildhood
#adGifted . Are you even a parent if you don't ha #adGifted . Are you even a parent if you don't have a handbag or purse full of plasters? . My children tend to move around the world at full speed so it's inevitable that at some point accidents are going to happen. . For Lillie this isn't such a problem as she is fine with standard plasters but both of the boys have allergic reactions to plasters and after wearing them for just a few hours they look like they have been burnt where the plasters were stuck to their skin. . Over the years I have tried lots of different brands of hypoallergenic plasters, some good, some useless but finally we have found some that not only do the trick but are specifically made for different occurrences with children in mind. . Since it is World Allergy Week I wanted to introduce you to @patchstrips which contain: 🍃 NO IRRITANTS 🍃 NO PLASTIC 🍃 NO LATEX 🍃 NO PARABENS . These Natural Bamboo Plasters are: 🍃 Durable 🍃 Hypoallergenic 🍃 Compostable 🍃 Globally Award Winning 🍃 Better for You 🍃 Better for The Planet . You can buy Patch strips in Natural for Cuts & Scratches, soothing Coconut Oil for Abrasions & Grazes, Aloe Vera to repair Burns & Blisters and Charcoal to draw out impurities from Bites and Splinters.
ME TIME! . Last night I escaped the house for a fe ME TIME! . Last night I escaped the house for a few hours together with my fellow neighbour Mums. . We sat socially distanced on the green enjoying a glass or two of our favourite tipple to talk homeschooling, lockdown, seriously hot houses and anything else that happened to crop up. . It was perfect! . Have you been able to enjoy some 'Me Time Freedom' recently? . . . . . . . . . . #covid_19diaries #lifeinlockdown #metime #freedom #mumsnightoff #ladiesnight #cheers #summernights #passthegin #mumlife #mymotherhood #myordinarylife #mumblogger #ukmumsquad #amwfparentingtribe #juneblog100 #ineededthat
Hip hip hooray we've been to the sea!! . I have al Hip hip hooray we've been to the sea!! . I have always found the beach to be a therapeutic place for me. I grew up living just a few miles inland and would go to the beach regularly. . In my twenties I lived in Skegness and would walk along the beach most days, especially when I wanted to clear my mind. . Moving further inland I have definitely missed living by the sea and try to plan a day out to a beach or to holiday near a beach when I can. . Throughout lockdown I have craved a day hanging out at the beach but have resisted for as long as possible. Today we finally caved, we said 'No to homeschool', packed a picnic and set off for a family day out and it was perfect. . The beach was busy further up from us but very quiet where we were, we didn't come within 15-20 metres let alone 2 metres. . We played on the sand and in the sea, we ate, we read (well I did) and listened to music. . We couldn't have asked for more ❤️ . . . . . . . . . #covid_19diaries #ohidoliketobebesidetheseaside #beachlife #seaside #feelingfree #funwiththefamily #ukmumsquad #amwfparentingtribe #juneblog100 #noschooltoday #makingmemories #capturedmoments #capturingtheday #thisismysmile #wegotthis #inittogether #mumlife #mymotherhood #mumblogger #myordinarylife
