Hi there! I met you briefly last week at Womb House and see, this kinda stuff is why I’m a fan.
My husband would love to see me engage in some nude weeding so let’s not tell him it’s a thing, k?
Also! Hot lazy parent’s tip for kids who need a break from blacktops in Oakland, if you haven’t already tried it! Some weekend, get a friend with kids to drive with you up to the Redwood Glen area of Joaquin Miller Park. Have you been? Bring chairs and coffee and hang out and let the kids go wild. If you hike a bit down into the forest, there’s an area where people make stick forts all the time and leave them. My kids grew up doing the Roxaboxen thing up there, with sticks and forts and pinecone currency. I was lucky that I had a group of fellow parents who did this with me on a regular basis. We just sat around dishing all day while the kids played. My own kids are grown now and living in far-flung places and this is the place they always want to go back and visit when they’re home. 💕
i love this idea! im always trying to do hikes and shit, but just planting in the woods sounds way nicer for everyone. and with friends, it's even better :) thanks for saying hi to me at womb house!
Oh hey sounds like a good playlist. Also, I like this post. Forest school is great, but ours was very much not low-key or magical all the time! Griffin got sunburned, dehydrated, extremely cold sometimes, scraped up, kids got like, legit hurt sometimes, and *no one* learned letters or numbers. It was cool, but like all things ups + downs. (you know this but just tossing it out there).

It’s like stoop coffee in the forest!

That’s been our baking song since the toddler years. I don’t think my son has heard the real version. I like ours better…🧁
🎼🎶It’s Muffin Time!🎵🎼
Lol keep going with the lyrics please! "Time for you to go in to the oven till you are done!!"
We really just sing “it’s muffin time” to each other over and over while getting out baking supplies. 😂🧁🍥🥮🎂
still great
