Boredom Busters

23/06/2026

Seems someone is trying to "copy" my brand style.... ugh!!

I've been designing & creating Boredom Busters for over 2 decades and it's a soul passion that although pauses at times due to life & it's curveballs, it always comes back stronger with awesome activities and gifts for the little ones.

I'm working on a stunning, original range of meaningful products for the Christmas season and if all goes according to plan, the studio will be open for workshops by then as well. I'll keep you updated with the progress.

So lots is happening quietly behind the scenes as I navigate some major life changes, but till then, if it doesn't say Boredom Busters®️ - it isn't.

Huge thanks as always to my loyal supporters and clients... you make a difference. Love & Light. ❤️

Meet Saskia, a vinyl reborn baby doll. I've always loved dolls and have been researching life like dolls for a while.
aside from childrens play and collectables, the therapeutic benefits have been experienced by alzheimer and dementia patients and more recently they are used by mostly women, in the fields of loss and bereavement, depression and loneliness. The silicone baby's are incredibly lifelike but come with a hefty price tag. the dolls are all handcrafted and painted, with amazing detail. I'm wondering if they would be helpful as a therapeutic tool for inner child healing?
they either creep you out or get the oxytocin flowing... what's your take on them? Let me know in the comments...

wise words ... keep self regulated... do what you need to do to keep grounded, present and authentically you. it matters so much in shaping your little ones. ❤️

We tend to measure our parenting by the moments that stand out - the times we lost patience, the big feelings or behaviour we didn’t handle as well as we’d hoped, the days we were too tired, too distracted, too human.

We tend to hold those moments up as evidence of what we are - or aren’t - as parents.

But that’s not how it works.

What shapes a child’s sense of who they are isn’t any single moment. It’s the accumulation of ordinary ones - the ones in which they feel seen, safe, loved.

Neuroscience keeps telling us this quietly and consistently: the repeated experience of a calm, present, loving adult is what builds the architecture of a child’s nervous system over time. It’s not about the dramatic moments, but the ordinary ones.

Every time you showed up calm when they couldn’t. Every time you came back after a hard moment. Every average Tuesday where nothing much happened except that you were there - those moments matter.

They aren’t stored as memories they can retrieve and tell you about, but as a felt sense of the world they live in, who they are to you, and eventually, just who they are. They are stored as the answer to the question their nervous system - their foundation in the world - is always quietly asking: Am I safe? Is there someone here for me?

The body keeps score in both directions. The stress, yes - but also the warmth. The consistency. The thousand small moments of being held, seen, safe, loved, and not left alone with the hard things.

So if you tend to carry the weight of every moment you got wrong - and we all tend to do this - put some of that down.

Because the moments you got right - the ones that felt like nothing at the time - they matter, so much. And even through the messy times, those ‘got right’ moments are still there. Still working. Still building the foundation your child will stand on long after they’ve forgotten the day itself.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep coming back.

The ordinary moments are doing so much more than you think.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​❤️
