I bought this book on pre-order when it first came out, but I’ve been saving it to truly give it the attention it deserves. Everybody should read this book, whether you have experience with baby loss or not, because to me it all boils down to one core thing; empathy. You don’t have to know or understand what someone is going through to be empathetic towards them. Too often when something unthinkable happens people become avoidant because they feel awkward and don’t know what to say... nobody is expecting you to fix it. Just reach out and be there. It’s about living when you think you cannot, and finding tiny glimmers of light when you think there are none. Well done Elle @feathering_the_empty_nest, I’m so in awe of the strength it must have taken to write this. Teddy is so proud of his mama, I’m sure of it 💙✨ #askmehisname #teddyslegacy

{gifted} Sometimes it’s nice to take the time to use your senses in this busy world we live in. One of my favourite ways to de-stress is to take a few mindful moments snipping flowers from my garden, and then to have a good old faff with them in the house! My sweetpeas are having their final flush before Autumn and my word, they smell divine! 💐 . I was lucky enough to be sent this beautiful rose gold Viol watch from fab new Danish brand @obakuofficial. Their new campaign #sensetime is all about taking time to use and explore our senses properly without rushing, like savouring a cup of coffee rather than gulping it down. When was the last time you slowed down and really enjoyed the experience of something? #sensetime

On the eve of the launch of my very own business, @wearelittlebrave, I never thought in a million years I’d be able to say “I run my own business” especially one that makes something positive out of the toughest things I have ever been through, and that donates to charity. 💁🏻‍♀️ My maths gremlins always convinced me I’d be awful with the money, the recession told me it would never last, my brain told me I’m not creative enough. I had to pose for my own product shots because I can’t afford to pay models just yet, and I felt acutely aware of the fact that I am not a model. I don’t look like one, I’m not the same shape as one, and I was really worried about ruining my photos. But, on the day of the shoot, the very magical and talented @lucygweddings made me feel just as relaxed and at ease as she did on my wedding day, and I realised that it was actually really cool to have total creative control over how I wanted everything to look. I am not a model, but I am a business owner! 🙋🏻‍♀️ @wearelittlebrave launches at 8pm tomorrow night! ⏰

Look at my first ever cafe au lait dahlia! Isn’t she a beauty! I was inspired by @amysheartyhome and @rvk_loves to grow them this year, and boy she did not disappoint 🌸

Just because I wanted this little face on my feed 💘 my Bonnie, my best friend, my little bear. Forever lolling on me wherever I am in the house, refusing to let me do anything but stroke her 🙄😂😍

• mindful gardening • . I grew everything in that tiny little bud vase from seed 🌱 it was hard with the heatwave and the drought this year, my sweet peas really suffered and if you squint you can just make out the absolutely tiny dahlia at the front 😂 but cafe au lait is on her way, and I’m excited! Also, that’s Bob, our string of hearts. Cos he has cool dreadlocks like Bob Marley?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 . I’ve loved getting into gardening properly since we moved into this house with its proper flower beds and old crumbling farm walls. I find it so mindful being outside, kneeling on the ground and feeling the soil in my hands and pride in my heart when lovely things grow! It was partly my inspiration for @wearelittlebrave 🌿💘
