Today’s giveaway is from Megan of Whole Family Rhythms, helping you to create seasonal, weekly and daily rhythms for your family in order to nurture the wonder, beauty and light in early childhood.

Meagan began educating herself on play based and natural early childhood learning over four years ago when she stumbled across some Waldorf inspired blogs that resonated with her deeply. Since then she has passionately shared her parenting journey including her transition to a TV-free home, her parenting style and beliefs and delicious holistic recipes on her blog.

Whole Family Rhythms are a series of seasonal and monthly guides created and designed to help you maintain a steady rhythm in your home.  The rhythms include unstructured, child-led play both outdoors and indoors; early childhood stories and fingerplays; weekly bushwalking themes; daily art, handwork or creative projects; holistic baking and cooking recipes for the whole family as well as weekly caregiver meditations and projects for families of all ages and sizes.

“I am ever inspired by my little ones and the way they live into each moment with very little regard for the past or future. It is so very difficult for us as parents to protect the magic and wonder of childhood.  Modern and Western ways of life create schedules, endless to do lists and a constant sense of multitasking that often feels unavoidable.  My hope is that by being very clear about our family values and then translating these into strong rhythms for my children, I am also creating a strong rhythm for myself – empowering me to slow down, and to be present, calm and authentic for my children.”

Available at the moment are either single Monthly Guides (March, April, May, June, July and August) or the Monthly Guides combined to create the Autumn and Winter Guides with over 70 pages including: weekly oral stories and fingerplays, bushwalking themes, seasonal crafts, wet-on-wet watercolour painting, drawing and modeling as well as weekly caregiver meditations, monthly caregiver handwork projects and seasonal book recommendations.

Megan is offering one winner The Whole Family Rhythms Autumn and Winter Guides plus one of each for a friend

Value of $116

A Note on Hemispheres:

Whole Family Rhythms was written and created in New South Wales, Australia. All Guides are tailored towards the more subtle seasonal changes in the Southern Hemisphere- reflecting festivals, traditions and celebrations from the Southern Hemisphere’s perspective. However, If you live in the Northern Hemisphere you can still use the guides easily- just be aware that you will have to ‘translate’ differences, for example, Easter activities, crafts and recipes are found in the Autumn Guide while all things pertaining to Christmas will be found in the Summer Guide.

For your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post.  For an additional chance to win, “Like” Whole Family Rhythms on Facebook, and come back to leave a second comment letting me know that you’ve done so.  Comments will close and a winner will be randomly selected on Monday, May 20th.  The winner will be announced within this post.

Today’s giveaway is from Jeff and Taryn of Wooly Moss Roots!  You can follow along with them on their family’s lovely blog, and also on Facebook!

Hello! We are The Wilson Family: Papa Jeff, Mama Taryn, and Boy Bracken.  We live on a small homestead in the coastal mountains of Oregon.  We love working with wood, wool, and herbs. We make handmade artisan buttons, wooly creations, and herbal products with organic herbs from our garden.


What’s new in the shop? We treated ourselves to a woodburner as a Christmas present to ourselves, it had been on our wish list for a long time.  Jeff has been having a blast playing around with it ever since and we’re really happy to introduce woodburned buttons in our shop now!  He started making buttons with whimsical woodland scenes with trees, mushrooms and flowers.  When Jeff started woodburning designs on buttons, the wheels in my head started turning and I started envisioning sweet designs on buttons especially for kids.  I was daydreaming of adorable handknit sweaters and it wasn’t long before we introduced buttons with woodburned honeybees, ladybugs, hearts, and stars.  They make really sweet additions to special handmade items for kids (and adults!)

We also wanted to tell you about our new group on Ravelry.  We invite you to join our Wooly Moss Roots Buttons Group.  It’s a fun place to share the projects you make with Wooly Moss Roots Buttons and we would be delighted if you took the time to add your projects there!  When we mail our handmade buttons around the world, we love to see what creative projects they end up on and this group is a fun place for us to see what you make.

Jeff and Taryn are generously offering the following items to one winner:
-4 sets of buttons (pictured above) including:
**1 set of 8 toggle buttons in reclaimed mahogany wood
**1 set of 6 small buttons in reclaimed maple burl wood
**1 set of 4 woodburned buttons in birch wood (2 ladybugs, 2 honeybees)
** and 1 set of 6 mixed buttons in a variety of reclaimed woods
-1 regular size salve (choice of healing salve, relieving salve, or blissful baby balm)
-1 peppermint tooth powder
-1 peppermint calendula lip balm (choice of regular or tinted)

In addition, enter the coupon code: SMALLTHINGSCOUPON at checkout and get 20% off your order! Coupon code will be good through Thursday May 16th and will be good in both the Wooly Moss Roots Shop and the Mystic Orb Shop.

In addition, we’ll include one packet of organic seeds with every order. Choose between parsley, kale, nettles, marigolds, or bright lights chard. Just enter which type of seeds you would like included with your order, in notes to seller.

For your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post.  Comments will close and a winner will be randomly selected on Monday, May 13th.  The winner will be announced within this post.

Comments are closed.  The winner is Leah:  “What a fabulous giveaway! I love those buttons!”
