đŸšȘ After Drop-Off

First day back at school.
I could see the nerves were there, the dodgy belly, quiet withdrawal, that look that says, “I cant .”

And now I’m home and the silence feels heavy. The thoughts creep in: Is he okay? Will he cope? What if


I remind myself:
He is safe.
I am safe.
My feelings are valid.

Still, it’s tough and this spin cycle of worry we call “back to school.” I know the effects: mood, food, energy, presence. I need to steady myself, because showing up calm is the best I can give him.

To every parent holding it together after the school gate , you’re not alone. 💙

September’s creeping in and that can start up a lot of emotions.

If school felt heavy last year, for you or your child, you’re not alone, my family felt it too.

My goal isn’t a perfect September. It’s a prepared, kinder one.

This prep starts gently, now.

Today was all about willow weaving. This is my peaceful place. Just my hands, and the next piece of willow.

No emails. No to-do list. No chores. No thinking ahead. Just this moment and the creativeness of making something with my hands and time.

Sometimes, that’s all we need before a busy week. A little time where the only decision is “What do I do next with this piece?”

Here’s to starting Monday with less stress. 💙

When school feels too much, absence isn’t a failure. It’s a signal.
Nearly 150,000 children missed half their school time last term, and many were feeling too overwhelmed, like they didn't belong.
If your child is missing school, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means we need to work together to understand the need, the gap.
You’re not alone in this. 💙
