Hello Dear Friend,

In today’s episode, I’m sharing catch-up on life lately—from illness and Easter chaos to great-grandparent sleepovers, genealogy rabbit holes, and my newest (which is probably not new to you) secondhand shopping LOVE.

This one’s a little reflective, a little nostalgic, and hopefully a soft place to land if you're feeling the weight of the world.

P.S. Stay tuned ‘til the end for a gentle reminder about changing your mind—even when you're living the life you wished for.

This week’s letter is wrapped in snuggly jumpers, forest adventures, and the chaos of motherhood. This week has been shaped by sniffly toddlers, sleepless nights, forest adventures, creating a start on my family history as well as a sneak into the books I’m reading.

Bring a warm cuppa, and make yourself comfortable.

With Love,

Bessie xx
