New Spirit Animals in the making!

And when you will read along, a song will magically appear in your head…

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

You’re welcome ☺️

If you were to ask me what was going through my mi

If you were to ask me what was going through my mind when I was drawing up the Raccoon Spirit Animals this would a little snippet of the conversations I have with myself:

You know what? I dream of not being called resilient again. I’m done. I’m exhausted by trying to stay strong all the time. Oooh yes a fluffy tale. Let’s do that. I want softness. I want sweet. Three. I need three raccoons. I want to braid my hair, wiggle my toes in the grass and fill my heart with happy memories. I want to cuddle these raccoons. That’s not too much to ask,right? I wish nothing but to be amongst my loved ones. My kin. My Little Tribe Called Sweet. Oh that sound good. I don’t want to be patted on the back on how well I can take another challenge. Or how many. Nope, I’m done with that. Tonight I’m having an extra cookie…

Who else has these conversations?
Let me know if this resonates with you, anything you wish to share!

Goodmorning. Have a little swipe to see my daughter Ophelia’s bedroom.

Did you know that my girl helped me to develop the Butterfly Spirit Animal? I guess that makes us now a family run business 🌞

At first I had drawn her to be a curly blonde girl who reminded me of Annie, as in the girl from the musical, do you remember her?

But Ophelia said she needed braids and flowers in her hair, so I gave it a try and played around with flowers and different hairstyles for a few days et voila, our most popular Spirit Animal was born.

You will always remember the room you grew up in.

You will always remember the room you grew up in. Let’s fill it with love and a little magic.

Thank you @headofswans for sharing this beautiful picture with all of us.

For my little one

Please don’t ever get tired of being a good person with a good heart wanting to do good things in life.

I know it can be a real challenge when you are being bullied, taken advantage of, or accused of something you didn’t do. You might feel like it’s better to throw mud back, stay mad and be cold-hearted.

But people like you matter and are so important for this world. Please don’t forget that every person is born good, it’s only circumstances that make people do silly things.

My little one, stay in your sweet magic, you deserve it. Like a mommy bear, I will always have your back.

Most of our children first encounter stars through the act of making a wish upon them. When we were on our camping holiday, we’d let the kids stay up late and have a look at the sky above, which was a lot of fun to watch as they were so mesmerized!

It truly feels like an essential act of childhood and it got me thinking about the mysterious relationship we have with the stars and all of the magic they possess. Of course we all had to make a little wish…

I hope you will enjoy this adventurous duo having a little break from their midnight outing underneath the moonlit sky.

Let’s raise tree children. Wild spirits with strong roots, who bend but don’t break. Children’s who’s arms make shelters and hearts are home to little birds, singing out for the sheer joy of it.
