I have been called to write here on the Elegant Daydreamer blog. I have been heavily in “building a business” mindset around some other ventures I am working on, and I suppose I am being pulled back, and drawn back, to the traditional feel of blogging. Let’s face it, social media is getting so noisy.…

This year has seen me binge watching more television since I watched the first two seasons of Supernatural back in 2005 (or the mini series of Pride and Prejudice), and I don’t think there is any sign of me slowing down. That is because I have discovered K Drama (Korean Drama), and I am hooked…

Lee Evie writes such beautiful novels. Let me just say that straight off. I recently read the first book in her Promise series called Promise Season, which I loved and talk about here. And so I was super excited to read book 2, Promise Thief (available from 23 October 2020). I was lucky enough to…

It has been such a long time since I read a fiction book, and I must ask myself “Why did I wait so long?”. I have always loved reading, since I was a little girl reading Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley Twins, and historical English fiction in my early twenties. But as a Mum of…

I didn’t always know I was and INFP, I tested out as and INFJ, thought I could be an ISFJ (I am not very ISFJ like, but raised by one of these lovelies). But after learning about cognitive functions I was both deeply intrigued and surprised that perhaps I was (am) an INFP. So today,…

Trust that inner pull. You know, that little voice inside of you that says “just try it”? Or “let’s just see what happens”? That little voice is within me all of the time, but sometimes I am pretty good at ignoring her, and sometimes I even feel that maybe she is gone forever.

In January this year I decided my word of the year was going to “patience”. Eight months on in one of the wildest years ever, I can now look back and see how important this word was going to be for me. When I think of patience, the image that comes to me is one…

I am sitting at my kid’s craft table as I write this blog. A little lost for words and I don’t really know what to write. But I feel I need to write. Today we as parents can choose to keep our children home until the end of term. The schools remain open for now…
