I’m Ella and I love to write.

MOTHERHOOD & MISCARRIAGE - I enjoy writing about my motherhood experience - from pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding to how I manage the toddler years. I love to share details about the profound impact of becoming a mother and living a postpartum life of body acceptance, working mum guilt, and the daily mental load struggles. I also write about miscarriage and the grief of pregnancy loss having experienced it twice myself. I strive to support the mission to banish the taboo of the subject and ensure more mothers who suffer the heartbreaking loss do not feel they have to do so in silence. I am a big advocate of sharing honestly and openly about the realities of miscarriage and believe that everyone can learn a lot about miscarriage, the right ways to support someone suffering, and the political crusades that need support to improve vital care.

GARDENING - I am a keen gardener and self taught vegetable grower. I love to encourage others to grow their own food and blog to share my tips and insights into growing a wide range of food. My aim is to inspire gardening activities for both adults and children to enjoy growing and eating fresh food throughout the year. I have raised beds, a decent size garden, a greenhouse (my new pride and joy), and I enjoy experimenting with new seeds every year. I always share honestly about the realities of trial and error gardening, making it accessible and motivating for anyone.

COOKING - I have a passion for baking and cooking and love sharing new recipes made with the freshest garden ingredients. I can create recipes from scratch and love a no frills approach to the kitchen to ensure culinary creations are easy and delicious. My background is in cake making (with plenty of weddings and magazine photo shoots under my belt), and I can’t resist a sweet treat with friends.

I am a small business supporter and like to share products, shops and skills of a range of local and family run businesses who have crafts and offerings for the home, garden, and children.
