A More Thoughtful Christmas Gift Guide š
Dear friends, I know itās only October, but in my experience, early gift purchasing is the key to an Advent where we can truly focus on preparing our heartsā¦ Thus, I present to you what has been a real labour of love: a gift guide that seeks to cut across the noise of the endless lists of 100 must buy bargain items flooding the internet. Instead, I sought for this guide to feel peaceful, intentional and made with integrity. Itās full of ideas from small, often Christian, businesses and gifts...

Calling all Pilgrims Progress fans āļø, a truly meaningful giveaway and whatās on our shelves š
Dear ones, I write from under a blanket, for the first time this year, with my slippers dusted off and bringing comfort once more, as England seems to have finally welcomed in Autumn. I know it officially started some time ago, but even two days ago I was still wearing sandals and a sleeveless linen dress gathering cosmos from the garden to adorn the table, so I am thrilled to finally feel the chill in the air. I donāt know about you, but as that chill sets in, Christmas is immediately all I...
š„³ 37% off for my 37th birthday
Dear friend, As I entered my 37th year, I came down with mastitis, and as Iāve been holed up in bed, Iāve truly had to fight for joy. Asking the Lord āwhy today?ā Yet it is just a day. A day that helps us to reflect on whatās gone before us, these past 365 days, and there is so much to be grateful for - all that the Lord has done for and in me, the people who have shared the journey with me, and I am especially grateful that I get to spend my days creating things that help families make space...
Love the child God has given you, not the one you want ā„ļø
Dear friends, In my struggle with gentleness I can often blame my irritability or anger on the childās character. āIf they were just xyz then I wouldnāt respond this wayā If they were less loudā¦ intenseā¦ fearfulā¦ strong willedā¦ You fill in the blank. Iāve come to notice that when I am attempting to force my children to become more of something theyāre not, this is when I become less gentle. Iām irritated when they are fearful of trying something new. Iām irritated when they want to talk for...
Can I become a gentler mum? š
Dear friends, For many years now, Iāve come to realise that I am not the mother I hoped I would be. I fall so very short of my own ideal on a daily basis. One of the ways I fall short is in my struggle with gentleness. I had this almost ethereal vision of what I might be like as a mother: serene and calm, with a gentle and joyful answer always on my lips. Sadly, that has not been my reality. As a mother of five, including twins, with all the demands and stimulation that come with raising a...
My heart sank as my son came to me with thisā¦ butā¦
Dear friend, This week my son approached me with a book heād borrowed from school and said, āMum, I donāt think I should be reading this.ā It isnāt the first time heās done this, and my heart sank as I wondered what heād been exposed to this time. But almost immediately, I was reminded that this moment itself was a gift. It showed me that he trusts me. That he wants to bring his concerns to me. And, above all, that the Lord has been growing his discernment. Now, I know youāre probably...

š 20% off - but the real gift isn't the discount
Dear friend, One of my greatest prayers for my children isn't simply that they'll love books. It's that they'll learn to see the world through a biblical lens. Because every day, our children are being taught how to interpret the world around them. Through films. Through friends. Through the stories they consume. As Christian parents, we have the beautiful opportunity to help shape that lens. That's one of the reasons I created these faith based book companions. Rather than simply closing a...
It finally happened!! (and the giveaway of dreams!) šļøšŗ
Happy Wednesday dear ones, It finally happened to meā¦ After recommending this book for years, both online and to friends, a local friend finally borrowed it and they approached this weekend, weeks after borrowing itā¦ this is what they saidā¦ āThat book you loaned meā¦. Best book ever!!ā Itās every ābookish girlyāsā dream to hear a friend truly get your passion for a particular book, even if she did chuckle at the hundreds of tabs Iād put in it to highlight quotes that had struck me. So here I...
