Bedtime stories 🌜
We love books in this house, but we particularly love bedtime stories. My little girls get their pyjamas on and brush their teeth and snuggle up for a story, it calms them down ready for sleep and fills their heads with magic and wonder which I hope sets them up for sweet dreams. Maybe that’s why I like to write bedtime stories ☺️
For anybody that got a copy of ‘Now That You’re Here’ - you may have spotted a clue as to the next story I am working on in the back of the book...yes, another cosy, snuggly bedtime story 😊✨🌜
Here is a part of page 1, a cute and calming bedtime scene, beautifully illustrated by - we had originally put a mother and child in the room reading a story, but then decided we’d like to keep it empty...inviting the reader to be the inhabitant of this comfy bed. 😊 Hope you like it! ✨✨✨

A lovely teacher tagged me in this picture yesterday 🥲 - her class have been drawing their own bits and bobs in their dream jars, this has made my week!
There are lots more worksheets and fun pages that are free to print from my website too!
Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕

Two new free printables have been uploaded on to my website 🥰
- A ‘Now That You’re Here’ themed word search
- A My Family Gallery worksheet, which your little ones can fill with portraits of people they love 💕
My girls love activities that tie in to their books or favourite tv shows, it’s such a nice and easy way of keeping them entertained and expanding their thoughts on what they’ve read or watched. I reckon these two sheets might buy you enough peace and quiet for a hot cup of tea if you’re lucky! 😆

It’s here! 🤩
This book has been on a long journey, printing in glorious hardback so they can be kept forever as keepsakes was absolutely the right decision but also meant they got hit by so many delays reaching us, and when the Suez Canal got blocked that delayed it all again, but it’s finally here and it’s perfect!
This book is everything I want my children to know, how they’ve changed everything in my life for the better, no matter my occasional sarcastic comments to the contrary 😆
Everything’s better, now that you’re here 💕💕💕💕💕
