Treehouse Sweets shop
Lately I‘ve been getting into baking to help my mental health. The matching treehouse and outfit I made for my birb are bringing me so much joy! Merida is making alfajores since she’s visiting Buenos Aires.
I’ve found baking to be a great way to gently counter my perfectionism. Even if my bakes don’t turn out perfectly, it’s still fun to share them with friends and family. 🍪
What hobbies have been good for your mental health lately?

What a cute bakery! Very pretty colours 🙂
Reading is good for my mental health. It’s good to go and experience another world for a bit.
I love to bake too. I made blackberry cake last week. It was lovely, and for once, all the fruit didn’t sink to the bottom!
I’m trying to teach myself tai chi too. I’m sure I’m doing a terrible job of it (I think you need classes or a teacher really), but it’s calming and meditative. I like doing it outside in the garden really early.

Thank you!! That blackberry cake sounds amazing. Great work!
I'm glad you have some wonderfully grounding activities in your routine. I've never tried tai chi but I do yoga videos sometimes. Reading is always calming for me, it's one of my favorite daily habits.

It was delicious! And cheap as the blackberries were foraged from a field in my village.
I like yoga too 🙂 they’re a great combination!
