Nature activities, creative ideas & seasonal self-care for busy mums

Ella & Jack is made for mothers who want to pause — and play.

You hold a lot. You think deeply. You care fiercely. And still — there's a part of you that wants to trace a leaf, splash in a puddle or follow a trail, just because.

Every week and every season, we’ll share nature activities for kids, creative outdoor ideas and seasonal self-care, all close to home and in your own rhythm.

This isn’t about slow living.

We understand that life is full.

We also know that presence doesn’t require perfection — or hours of free time.

With just ten minutes and a little bit of nature, you can reconnect: with your child, with the season, and with yourself.

Ella & Jack is here to help you find those moments — wild, simple, creative.
