That second son be wild 🤪

It started with little model chicks… 🐣
Then came our first real chick…
And now we’ve hatched our own
Jacob has learned so much through this — patience, care, responsibility, and how life begins. Watching his little dreams come to life has been the sweetest part ❤️
So much joy, so many cuddles, and honestly… how can something so tiny be this cute?!

Spring feels like such a beautiful blessing
My heart is so full… soaking in the sunsets, the sound of the kids playing outside, baby chicks growing, the mulberry tree and the golden fig tree coming back to life.

After so much hard work, strimming, clearing the land and brush, cutting back the brambles. I’m finally starting to feel and enjoy this new space we’ve worked so hard to create over the winter.
It’s slow, it’s real, and it’s ours

A swing, a wide sky, and a childhood growing wild and free. One day the swing will be empty and the little boy who once flew between these trees will be off chasing his own horizon. But today he is still here, somewhere between earth and sky, and these are the moments I wish I could bottle. Raising boys is learning to hold on and let go at the same time, my heart swinging out there with him.

As we move further up the land and into a new chapter, my son soon turning 16 , I’m feeling a lot.
Taking apart the place where so much life happened is harder than I expected. Not because of the wood or the walls, but because of the memories that lived there.
Today I told myself It’s okay to cry over it.
Tears like this are a way of honouring what mattered.
When I look at that field, I see a little boy covered in dirt, doing something wild, completely absorbed in exploring the world. No schedules, no pressure, just freedom and curiosity and space to be a child.
That’s the very essence of childhood.
He had freedom.
He had space.
He had time.
Slow mornings. Wild adventures. A childhood lived outside.
The field may change.
The buildings may come down.
But that boy running through the grass, covered in dirt and laughter, will always be part of our story.
And as one chapter quietly closes, I’m realising how lucky we were to live it.

The trees are bursting into blossom and it’s the perfect reminder that science is everywhere 🌸
This week we’ve been observing the blossom and doing experiments to learn more about how plants grow. Happy National Science Week!

He thinks I see a grown-up, independent teenager…
but I still see my sweet little bear, dancing through the kitchen like nothing in the world could touch him.
And honestly, I hope a part of that little boy never disappears. 🐻✨

Our water hole is overflowing! It has never been this full before!

After all this rain, the big water hole we dug is full to the brim. It’s amazing to see it working exactly as we hoped — holding the water, slowing it down, and keeping it on the land longer to nourish everything around it.

Rainy day vibes here on the land… while the drops patter on the roof, I’m tucked inside mending a pop-up book for my son. There’s something so grounding about little hands-on projects while the world outside slows down. Off-grid life isn’t always about big adventures—it’s these quiet moments that feel like magic.

Here we go again… olives, olives, olives!
Thank goodness for sunshine and extra hands or I’d still be out there. 😂🫒☀️

Olive season is here!
Day 1 of picking and honestly… this is my happy place. It’s been a few years since we last did a proper harvest, and it feels amazing to be doing it again.
The kids got stuck in, and Finley absolutely smashed the pruning today. Feeling grateful for this land and this rhythm.

After a long pause, we’re ready to begin again.
We’ve returned to the land’s true name — Quinta Ribeiro do Lugar — and we’re slowly bringing our little farm back to life.
Here’s to fresh starts and new possibilities. 🌞🌿
