Hi! I'm Alana. When I'm not nursing cold, stale coffee, I usually can be found with the baby on my hip, barefoot, and racing after my two older kids. Thanks to a degree in psychology and a free-range childhood backing onto an expansive evergreen forest, positive parenting and play-based learning are my passions. Read more here.

Our garden has been our therapy...

Whether it’s been to help me feel less overwhelmed by our changing world or to help switch gears when the kids are struggling.

The added bonus? It actually produces fruit and veg 😍😍😍

Like her mama, my 8 year old has symptoms of anxiety. Saturday, with trepidation she got onto my God parents’ boat. But within minutes, she was stiff with fear, the colour drained from her face.

She had to get off.

She returned to shore as most of us headed back out to enjoy the afternoon.
