Hot water bottle tho… do you? This was my first time with one and it made me think I could probably stay in longer next time. 🔥

Not sure if you’d call any of these ‘essentials’ but they do make a cold dip a lot nicer.

If you want to help kids communicate from a place of joy and connection, then you want this book…

full of hopeful stories and appreciation for the uniqueness of each child.

Treat yourself (and a friend!) 🎁

(Yes you could buy the Kindle edition, but there’s nothing quite like holding a book in yours hands. Xx)

Have you shared your Wrapped? 👍👎

Did it feel just a tiny bit vulnerable? We judge ourselves first, and then fear it in others.
But good news is, we can practise staying out of judgement.
First step? - noticing when we do it!

It’s tempting to go it alone, but when we get extra help things feel so much better. It accelerates our progress, helps to keep us going and feel a little less stuck along the way.

For sure, reality tv may not reflect real life, but I am always on the lookout for positive communication reflected on TV.
Do you watch #MAFSUK ?? Or any other suggestions for my watchlist?

The weather in the therapy room can change as much

The weather in the therapy room can change as much as the ocean. Families bring so much with them. We can help them to allow for the reality of messy progress, adjust expectations and home in on what to practice.
Thanks to @eddiessurfacademy for the coaching, the clips, and the inspiration 🤟🏼

Every pre-order makes a big difference, so thank you for your support.

I feel like I squeezed every inch out of this seas

I feel like I squeezed every inch out of this season. October was beautiful and I was outside a lot for it.

I can also tell you that come 1st November I’m having a day off. But I’ll probs be back in the sea again real soon. It’s irresistible.

Thanks for your support and encouragement. Together we raised almost £300, which is a whole lot more than my annual membership fee, so yay!

I’m so glad we were able to raise this money and help keep @surfersagainstsewage on the case for cleaner seas 🌊

👆🏼look at this bland view!
Srsly tho, my brain too easily wonders how to package up moments of beauty into some digital format, rather than just *appreciating it*.
A quick square like this ain’t scroll-stopping. But the half hour I had out on the rock looking towards Lundy did stop my brain’s auto-scroll, constant thinking mode.
Butterflies and jackdaws and waves and lines in stone and grasses.
My body feels different after I sit like this for a while. Like, I finally stop focusing on my head and the rest of me relaxes 🧘‍♀️You too?

Change is possible! We don’t have to have 💩 pouring into our waterways! Do you agree?

Anyone else get this? I will spend longer thinking

Anyone else get this? I will spend longer thinking about doing a thing than actually getting on and doing it. But when I finally leave the procrastination station it sure does feel satisfying to see a project through.
This one is in prep for an October camping trip. Autumn campouts require a little extra insulation 🍂

How hard is it to make those family plans happen?!

How hard is it to make those family plans happen?! We’ve been talking about this little overnight trip to Newtown for years. With another summer ending, we realised we were at risk of it being all talk. So, we bundled sleeping bags and snacks into the hull and took a mini trip.
Grateful to be learning new things and spending quality time with bro and dad.
👉🏼 if you’ve been talking about that trip for a while, maybe just put a date in the diary and make it happen… 💕

You gotta enjoy the journey, appreciate the tiny moments of success. Because good things take time.
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know what a huge brave step this was for #RoloTheRescueMutt
Here’s to tiny things that are actually a pretty effing big deal for some. ❤️

Went up a hill, swam in a lake, saw a million tiny frogs. Loving holiday times with my boys.
