Have you heard this word? Hands up if you think this should make it into the dictionary!🙋🏼♀️"Coddiwomple: (v.) to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination." 😉
I’m not going to lie - there are times when my children’s dawdling drives me nuts. Like when they take 45 minutes to finish breakfast even though we’re running late . But I also envy their ability to be completely unhurried and present in the moment, and I realize that it’s a quality that I need to protect🐌![]()

As parents, we need to make space for our children to play, get bored, dawdle, wander, wonder, create, sleep in, be wild and free and watch the clouds go by. Let them be where they are and not push them to achieve arbitrary milestones or condition them to think that a packed calendar is the key to success and happiness.![]()

Do any of these grow near you? If so, it’s a good idea to be able to identify them. Don’t forget to show the kids!🌿A friendly reminder to all of our US friends and followers, we are really lucky we don't have these in the UK....
"Children are wired to be fascinated with nature, but it’s harder than ever for little ones to get out in green spaces. It’s nobody’s fault, really. We could point to technology reliance, dense cities or the pandemic to explain why we’re not getting out as much. But the good news is, you can reverse this trend...Whether you're a veteran green thumb or just beginning with a humble patch of dirt, [gardening] is one of the most enriching outdoor activities you can give to children."![]()
