Why owls are cool!

16/08/2018 By Savanna Robinson Leave a Comment

My teenager thinks I am too obsessed with owls. She says I’m a little bit crazy about them. And that I influenced my youngest daughter to like them (but she prefers ducks and dinosaurs really…and of course ducks Why owls are coolare really just a gateway bird to owl obsession). So why is it that I think owls are cool? Even just why ARE owls cool?

Firstly, there was a marked increase in cool owl patterns and items that came out while I was pregnant with my second daughter. I ended up getting so many things in owl themes; bedding, clothes, a wall decal for the nursery, a music toy for bed time. Everything I could find in an owl pattern I got. why owls are cool

Then there is the teacher aspect of owls. Owl are reputed as being wise, scholarly like Owl in Winnie the Pooh. This fits well with being an educator of children for nearly 20 years. why owls are cool

And of course we can’t forget the night owl. I’ve always been a stay up late, get up late person (just ask my mother). The perpetual night owl. why owls are cool

Cool facts about owls

There are lots of cool facts you can find about owls.

Owls have powerful talons (claws)…something my mum has pointed about my nails for years. That I inherited Nana’s strong nails. Which now might be prettily decorated with my Jamberry products. why owls are cool

Owls have large eyes – pointed out by my eye specialists over the years.

Owls are quiet in flight – just ask anyone who’s walked around a shopping centre with me…. I suddenly am on the other side of them, without them even knowing. why owls are cool

Owls are farsighted- and now for the first time I am, after being short sighted since birth, after cataract surgery I can see great for distance…but need reading glasses for close up.

Owls have been symbols of wisdom and magic in ancient Greece, Asia and America. Just think of Owl in Winnie the Pooh for wisdom, and the numerous owls in Harry Potter. why owls are cool

Owl memes

Sparkly Bright Eyes is such a cool name for an owl. As someone who wore glasses for her childhood, then contacts for another 20+ years I constantly felt like an owl peeping at things. So the transition to owl obsession wasn’t so far fetched. These are just a few of my favourite owl memes that I hope you might enjoy too.

Instagram post 2089181203274145460_1389733818 My attempt at early bedtime for Ellie has led to her reading two books in bed, one tantrum about getting a drink, one trip to the toilet (and attempted cleaning of toilet), tucking in about four times and one extra cuddle needed on the rocking chair. And she’s still not asleep!

Tell me how your bedtime routine is going? As I’ll probably be awake four hours at this rate.

Instagram post 2067438180681202950_1389733818 Having a laugh to myself tonight. After daddy looked after her for the weekend, Ellie wanted daddy to sit in her room while she went to sleep.
 Next thing she’s complaining daddy is being too noisy for her to sleep, and she starts up a conversation with him and random singing.
Welcome to my life honey!

Every time I sit down to have a hot breakfast is when Ellie says she’s going off to the toilet. And 10 seconds later she’ll be back saying “Mummy come with me!” So I get up to go help supervise. If I’m lucky she’ll just go and not be distracted by singing a song or asking questions about something else. 
But my hot breakfast will be cold by the time I help her put pants back on, wash her hands and get back to the kitchen. 
And yet I’ll do it every time while she needs me. Because one day she won’t need my help as much.

These are the sacrifices we do for our kids. This is #parenthood

Do you still get to eat hot breakfast while it’s hot? Share with us below.

I’m going to stay in my bed tonight mummy! I’m a big girl.

Then the big girl wakes up and decides she really needs to sleep right next to mummy.

One day I may get my bed back.
