The Ikea catalogue is my version of a porn magazine. It’s a major inspiration plus it allows me to dream of a house jam-packed with hanging plants…if only I wasn’t the biggest plant killer ever.
1. Overnight oats. Seven incredible ways to a healthy and delicious breakfast that won’t take up time in the morning.
The morning Lily Rose was diagnosed with Leishmania and her fate sealed, Georgie was at summer school. The house was quiet aside from my wailing. For a few moments I was able to pretend that nothing and no one else existed in the world. I was able to ignore the aftermath of her death and zero in on my emotions, my loss. For just a few moments though because soon I would have to face a little boy and explain what death means. I would have to help him deal with HIS loss.
1. Young Lennon fan.
2. It’s about time I repotted this beauty.

5. A gift for Georgie from his uncle. Meet Sully and Boo.
6. Favourite spot.
Stress, worry and too many thoughts kept creeping up on me this week. It’s taken determination, meditation, a catch-up/gossip coffee session with my girls, lots of cooking and Billie Holiday on repeat and I think I’m ok and ready for the weekend. There’s something phenomenally soothing about cooking and listening to Billie.
