Inspiration Wednesday – Embrace The Dirt!

benefits of dirt Dirt mud muddy children nature play outdoor play outdoors parenting quote quotes

My name is Sonia, and I am Mamma to our little lady (11), and my twin mini men (7). We are following our dreams living abroad in Sweden. We love having outdoor adventures and learning about nature. The name Mamma’s School came about when we decided to home educate when we were living in the UK. Now we continue to learn through nature and the outdoors here in Sweden, as well as using their schooling system. The aim of the blog is to help to connect people to the outdoors and nature, give ideas and tips for outdoors adventures, as well as to teach people why outdoors and nature are so vital to us all.

Last night I had the most blissful paddle 🤗 I enjoy it whatever the weather, but unexpectedly the wind totally dropped and I spent a very pleasant calm 2 hours paddling around local islands 🏖 Day 9 of sommarlov has been hot hot hot 🥵 we of course had to swim! But otherwise the rest of the day was spent pottering around at home and fanning a very hot husky 🐶 #supsweden #paddling #shepaddles #paddlegirl #shesups #suplove #paddlelife #supscandinavia #ilovesupme #littlesupclub #supsverige #sunsetpaddleboarding #sunsetpaddle #supäventyr #ark56 #listerbyskärgård #semesterkänsla #aktivsemester #semesterisverige #discoversweden #sommarlov #hemester

Day 8 and we’ve been enjoying the beach on our own island 🏖 the twins have mastered a fairly decent forward roll into the water from the diving board, demonstrated here by twin 1 👏 now it’s time for motorbikes, football & ice creams and crossing my fingers for a paddle layer 🤞 #freshairchild #naturesplayground #natureisourplayground #friluftslivmedbarn #1000hoursoutside #badväder #baddags #äventyr #sommarlov #sommarliv #summerinsweden #sommarisverige #svemester #hemester #hemestertips #semesterisverige #sverigesemester #aktivsemester #semesteriblekinge #semesterkänsla #sommariblekinge #ark56 #friluftsbingo #blekinge #luftenärfri

So today I get to ride a different board 🥰 my body board is over 20 years old and I have a total blast every time I use it 🌊 today I’ve been teaching the children how to use theirs to ride the waves here on the beautiful beach in Skåne #yngsjö #yngsjöstrand #visitskåne #discoversweden #outdoormaster #sommarlov #sommarliv #sommarisverige #svemester #hemester #hemestertips #semesterisverige #sverigesemester #aktivsemester #semesterkänsla #bodyboarding #shebodyboards

Twin 2 leaping into his summer holidays 💦Day 6 of sommarlov & it’s been requested we find more high diving towers so we are off later to enjoy a different one 🤿 Anyone living in Blekinge feel free to let us know if any around the county as I have a feeling this summer will be one big diving board tour 😝 #freshairchild #naturesplayground #natureisourplayground #friluftslivmedbarn #1000hoursoutside #småäventyr #skärsjön #badväder #baddags #sommarlov #sommarliv #summerinsweden #svemester #hemester #semesterisverige #sverigesemester #aktivsemester #semesteriblekinge #sommariblekinge #semesterkänsla #outdoormaster

So today’s plans have not gone to plan either but we’ve ended up having a lovely totally different day 🤪 the wind was really strong at the lake we were at so after a quick jump and swim, we headed off in search of cake 🍰then on the drive back we spotted a sign for these old rune stones, so we made a visit that everyone enjoyed 💕 one is the second highest in Sweden at 13 feet and they are from around 400-800 AD 🌿 it has a threatening curse as it’s script warning of a treacherous death 😱 #björketorp #björketorprunestone #rune #runes #runestones #ark56 #visitblekinge #visitronneby #discoversweden #sommarlov #svemester #hemester #hemestertips #semesteriblekinge #semesterkänsla #total_sweden #what_i_saw_in_sweden #sweden_by_us #småäventyr #outdoormaster

This has to have been my favourite time ever paddle boarding so far 💕 the air temp was still only about 2 degrees as it was early spring 🥶 but we rarely get water that still around these parts and it was totally still 👌 give me inspiration and tell me about your favourite water trips 💦today is day 4 of sommarlov and we are redoing day 3 that didn’t quite turn out as planned 🙈 hoping the weather forecast is not lying today and that the pure sun forecast will actually appear 🤞 we aren’t just a sunny day family, but when you are swimming in freezing Swedish lakes it does help to keep you warmer 😝 #supsweden #shepaddles #shesups #suplove #supscandinavia #ilovesupme #littlesupclub #supsverige #sunsetpaddleboarding #sunsetpaddle #supäventyr #supaventyr #discoversweden#ark56 #blekinge #friluftsbingo #luftenärfri #sweden #semesterkänsla #reseguiden #sommarlov #sweden_photolovers #1000hoursoutside #utemagasinetsverige #reflection_perfection #naturesmirror #reflectiongram #weaddnature #outdoormaster

A new lake, a new adventure 🏄‍♀️ what do you prefer sea or lakes or rivers? We are lucky to be surrounded by sea but it’s also often too windy, so Sweden’s many lakes come in handy a lot!!😊 #lösensjön #supsweden #supsverige #paddling #shepaddles #paddlegirl #shesups #suplove #paddlelife #supscandinavia #ilovesupme #littlesupclub #supäventyr #supaventyr #sommarlov #sommarliv #outdoormaster #svemester #hemester #hemestertips #aktivsemester #semesterkänsla

So our trip to the lake today didn’t quite go to plan 🙈 the forecast was sun, and it was totally overcast and with the wind quite chilly 😬 even the husky stopped panting the entire time we were there 😝anyhoo the boys enjoyed a splash and a swim, & it got the little lady out the house☺️ #ig_sunsets #ig_sunsetshots #ig_sunrise_sunset #ig_sunsetshots #unlimitedsunset #world_beautiful_sunsets #swedensunsets #iconic_sunset_ #water_brilliance #joyful_sunset #discoversweden #total_sweden #your_nordic #sommarlov #sommarliv #semesterkänsla #semesterkansla #blekingearchipelago

This was taken last night on a family evening “walk” 👟I was in the river on my board, and the rest where walking along the path next to me 💕 you can take a peek on my stories 🔆Day 3 and twin 2 has already had his brace off this morning 🦷completing treatment for a protruding lower jaw, so it’s lots of excitement at being able to have chewing gum for him🤗 the sun is shining and the plan is a day of sunny fun in a Swedish lake as it’s still rather blowy around our island 💨 #discoversweden #reseguiden #your_nordic #nättraby #nättrabyån #ark56 #friluftsbingo #luftenärfri #blekinge #sweden #total_sweden #loves_united_sweden #semesterkansla #semesterkänsla #outdoormaster #naturesmirror #reflectiongram #reflection_perfection #naturspegel #sommarlov #sommarliv #svemester #hemester #semesterisverige

Day 2 of sommarlov: Boys took a dip in the sea, 🏊‍♂️Dadda painted the new garage a little bit more, 🖌& the teen arranged a family potted sports session 🎾 turns out I’m really rubbish at throw the welly…who knew!!🤣 this afternoon it was England’s first footy match 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿followed by a family evening walk but me on the SUP & the rest of the family on the footpath 💕 bit of a mis-start though as twin one fell in the river fully clothed while I was inflating the board😬 he had to then walk in my shorts and T-shirt🙈 #discoversweden #reseguiden #ark56 #friluftsbingo #luftenärfri #blekinge #total_sweden #sweden #your_nordic #sommarlov #semesterkänsla #ig_sunsets #ig_sunrise_sunset #picturetokeep_sunset #unlimitedsunset #world_beautiful_sunsets #iconic_sunset_ #ilovesunsets #what_i_saw_in_sweden #sweden_by_us #sweden_photolovers #sweden

So happy to see our little lady back to enjoying the water that surrounds us again this year 🤗 day 1 of summer holidays and twin 2 has announced he wants to learn to back flip 🤸‍♂️#discoversweden #visitblekinge #visitkarlskrona #blekingearchipelago #blekingeskärgård #ark56 #friluftsbingo #luftenärfri #blekinge #sweden #total_sweden #livinginsweden #discoversweden #sommarlov #summerinsweden #sommarisverige #svemester #hemester #sommarliv #hemestertips #semesterisverige #sverigesemester #aktivsemester #semesteriblekinge #badväder #baddags #äventyr #aventyr

So the sun has set on another school year🌻 it was an emotional departure for the little lady who was very sad to be leaving and was sobbing 😢 she got her final grades and we are so amazingly chuffed with her as all except English were undertaken in Swedish 💕 the boys are a little perplexed as to why their sister was crying so much bless them, but they continue happy in their own little unique world 🤪 #discoversweden #blekingearchipelago #blekingeskärgård #sweden #total_sweden #ig_sunsets #ig_sunrise_sunset #picturetokeep_sunset #unlimitedsunset #ilovesunsets

Skolavslutning 2021 🌸 it was an early start here today for hair curling and general preening 🤪 our little lady finishes middle school and leaves the lovely school on our island🌷she’s going to miss it hugely and we can’t thank the staff enough for being so kind and welcoming when we plopped her in their care nearly five years ago without a word of Swedish 💕 the double trouble act finish lower school and head to middle school, but stay in our island school 🌺 our daughters teacher takes over their care…lucky lady 🙈 as we say a huge Thankyou to their teacher who has had all three through her care 🥰 in Sweden skolavslutning is usually a family affair but due to current times, parents are not allowed to attend 😢 but they are allowing the parents of year 6 to come to the playground and receive the class as they leave for the last time ☺️now I’m just enjoying one last quiet drink before 10 weeks of summer mayhem ensues🤪 #skolavslutning #sommarlov #sommarliv #sommarisverige #summerinsweden #livinginsweden #expat #expatlife
