If you’re reading this blog article, I just want to start off by saying I appreciate you taking the sacred time out of your day to read my words. All too often, in this fast-paced world, I forget to take a moment to appreciate what is happening right now. So, right now, my current pondering…
Weekend Captures #5
Amongst the anticipation of edging closer to our moving in date, the weekend provided much needed time for us to ensure that we were meeting our DIY to do list. This weekends captures are home/interior orientated and, in all honesty, my content probably will lean in more towards that ‘genre’ (if you will) as we…
Homemaking
This one word covers a plethora of definitions, nuances and mental images that spring to mind. When I envision homemaking, I envision a tidy, decluttered and calm home. I see a space that is welcoming and exudes a personality which is an accumulation of all of the people/animals who live there: big or small. As…
Weekend Captures #4
It’s been a week since I last posted anything and, in all honesty, it’s been strange not being present on here. I ended April with quite a lot of things going on and so last week I felt like I was constantly playing catch up with myself. When I wasn’t preoccupied with personal matters, I…
The Blank Canvas
There is a culmination of many emotions when confronted with a blank canvas or blank page (digitally or physically). Starting something new, even as a hobby is difficult. Mustering up the courage to commit to your creative intuition and allow that creativity to flow is sometimes the hardest part. If, like me, you feel instantly…
An Authentic Aesthetic
Throughout my twenties, I have been active on social media, most predominantly Instagram. The initial pull of showcasing snippets of my life and seeing likeminded people share their’s has stayed with me. However, I have increasingly become aware of how, as many people have previously pondered, Instagram has changed over the course of the years…
Weekend Captures #3
This weekend was spent at home, working on our cottage’s kitchen cupboards in anticipation of moving in next month! In a slightly different style this week, and to avoid repeating myself, both Saturday and Sunday were spent at home, dying the wood of our kitchen cupboards an American Walnut colour by Colron. We wanted the…
Embracing Mother Nature
For many reasons I am excited to share this blog post with you, but I thought it was only apt considering that it is Earth Week. Today I wanted to delve deeper in the connection we as humans have with nature and the healing effects of soaking up the great outdoors. I also wanted to…
Slow Motherhood: Paying Attention
The significance of paying attention to the present moment is a message I have been receiving a lot recently. This can take on many forms: your mindset, ability to show gratitude to God, the choice of language and how you respond to others. Over the course of being a mother thus far, I have been…
Weekend Captures #2
It has been a pretty relaxed weekend I would have to admit. One thing I love doing is purposefully leaving the weekend – or a major chunk of it – free. Saturday we spent the morning at home and pottering around our local village. We also managed to get ourselves organised for the week ahead…
