  • :: pausing for a moment to admire this simple space in my bedroom ✨ . This corner of our bedroom has been calling out to me for an update for quite some time – the best part of a year! Seeing as we don’t have much in the way of plans, I decided to finally do it. I started by removing our small black-box of a television, which was only meant to be in here for those early weeks with a newborn and is now only used to occasionally listen to the radio... but more often to gather dust. I decluttered a lot of books from the alcove to the right, added a couple of ceramic bud vases filled with some dried flowers and my favourite wooden stems, some candles for good measure and I also added some relocated items from around the house (aka, ‘emergency baby-proofing for an increasingly curious 21 month old who loves to claim my wooden decorations as chew toys for teething’ 😅). A pretty good job in restoring some serenity to this space, what do you think? 🍃 . So there’s that, a new home for so many of my most treasured pieces, made all the more special by being beautifully handcrafted by some truly talented artists. I can’t help but smile every time I look at it – right now it’s definitely all about the little joys 🌿💫
  • :: hello friends! Who else is really looking forward to more sunshine-filled days? ✨ Last weekend I created this dreamy scene in our back garden for Emilia 🍃😍 and so I’ve shared a bit more about it, along with more golden moments like this, over on my blog! – link in my profile 🌿. . #thismomentofsimplicity . Wishing you a very lovely weekend! *features the most beautiful soft toys and cotton swaddle blankets gifted by @mainsauvage as part of an upcoming collaboration.
  • :: one of the most beautiful mixed flower bouquets I have ever received. Still very much in love with this floral arrangement – even a year later 🤗🥰 reminding me just how much I’m in need of more flowers in my life, especially right now 🌸 They’re the perfect tonic for so many things and always work wonders in brightening up any corner of our home too... I have dreams of my very own cut flower garden one day 🍃✨.
  • :: these beautiful peachy hues 🧡✨ dreaming of all the beautiful plants (a lot of roses really) I’d love to include in our little garden update 🍃 #thismomentofsimplicity
  • :: found a moment on this sunny Sunday afternoon to quickly arrange some of Emilia’s spring/summer bonnets. Fingers crossed these beauties will still fit her come the Autumn months because I’d love for them to be worn further than our back garden and village! . Also, I love these little peg hooks for displaying some of our favourite everyday trinkets 🧡🐰✨
  • :: my little dancer 💫 she really loves her music and a good boogie, no matter where she is. It’s become a habit for us to have a family dance party before bathtime – there’s lots of spinning, stomping and waving our arms in the air (all initiated by Emilia) ...and it’s absolutely the best therapy for us right now 🙌🏼💛 . #emiliahannarose #thismomentofsimplicity
  • :: I’ve been feeling so uncertain on what I “should” be sharing on here with everything that’s happening. Dipping my toes back in the water with this beautiful facade from a past adventure around Rye 🌿 Maybe this will serve as a welcome distraction and inspiration for you too. . Hope you and your loved ones are well and safe 🧡
  • :: trying to fill my days with deep breaths, limiting my time online to escape the general overwhelm, moments in nature (even if it is just our garden - I’ve never been more grateful for that beautiful space), creativity and as many snuggles as possible with my girl. . Emilia is having a rotten time with teething and has definitely been picking up on my anxiety. So holding her a little closer these days seems to be helping us both 🌿❤️ . Sending you all a little extra love and hope you’re managing to find some moments of calm too. #thismomentofsimplicity
