    Episode 30 : A Revolution in my Wardrobe

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about finding the balance between practicality and beauty in your wardrobe. Whilst also balancing a budget and wanting to choose as sustainably as we can! I share how I purchase new items, and what happens to things in my wardrobe that are past their best. Repeat after me, 'I will not settle for "good enough"' ! AND 'I will remember that I am important enough to get dressed properly, shower and do my hair the way I like' (it is not frivolous, it is a power move!)

    Episode 29 : Hold the Mother, A Nourished Postpartum

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about all things postpartum... I share my birth story (well "our" birth story really, it's hers and mine), how I prepared my home and my mind for a nourishing postpartum, what I cooked, and how I advocated for myself throughout.

    Episode 28: The Year of Cultivating Joy

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about joy! How we can cultivate it, build it, nurture it, experience it. All the different ways we are doing that in our family at the moment. This episode could be a whole book in itself, so excuse the short episode, but I hope it helps in some way on these dark winter days. From seashells to sunsets, from hygge lights to belly laughs, from long pushchair walks to the postbox to weekends away in the countryside, we talk about so many things... "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."

    Episode 26 : Time is our Treasure, On Loss and New Life

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about pottering through the house intuitively, listening to the still small voice and getting rid of the to-do lists.

    Episode 25 : A Soul Nourishing Advent Season

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about the joy, abundance and overwhelm of Christmas for the homemaker. I talk about how I set about creating a really intentional advent season, how I learnt to say 'no', take the pressure off and choose what our family needs. I discuss the slow living Christmas ideas I have already set in motion, how I space and plan everything out and what warm, cosy activities we've got going for December. "May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a friend."

    Episode 24: In a Glorious State of Disarray

    This episode of The English Homemaker is about home renovations, the ups and downs of having our bathroom redone and our rooms painted. And ultimately about always choosing joy in the process, practicing gratitude and why we consistently choose good quality over the cheaper, easier option.
