Hello lovelies, Can you quite believe that we have arrived at April already? There is something about the turning of the month that feels like a threshold…March quietly slips behind us, and suddenly we find ourselves stepping more fully into spring. And what a lovely March it has been. Stepping into April The bumblebees have …
In the season of mothering and educating my children, I began the habit of observing the seasons and trying to make each one special by thoughtfully planning activities that would bring a bit of what the season has to offer to our attention. This has helped us live in the moment, slow down, and notice …
Home is where we practise gratitude in the ordinary, where we nurture our families, and where we remind ourselves that God’s goodness is still all around us. One of the small yet meaningful ways I mark this season is by showering our home with autumnal touches—simple decorations that speak of warmth, abundance, and the comforting …
The Seasonal Home in Early Autumn The approaching autumn brings a gentle shift in the air—a coolness in the mornings, the first golden leaves crunching underfoot, and a quiet turning inward that seems to come quite naturally as we prepare to welcome in a new season.
