About

About me

I have two children, Arlo and Wren, and a small house with one very full hallway. I am a parent, not an expert, and I write down what worked, what did not, and what I tried at seven in the morning with one shoe missing.

Each Wednesday there is one small idea: a corner, a card, a sentence for the school gate. Some ideas last a week and some last years, and I tell you which. My kitchen is never tidy and the tea is usually cold, and it is all in the photographs.
