Welcome to my blog, a warm space for parents to find simple, confidence-building ways to support learning at home.

A white desk with a bouquet of pink flowers in a white vase, a black vase with pink flowers, a desk lamp with a black and white patterned shade, a camera, a laptop, pink teacup, a candle, and books, with a white framed art piece and a striped fabric-covered chair in the background.

A workspace with an Apple desktop computer, keyboard, and mouse, a coffee brew in a glass carafe, a white mug with the letter 'L', a black camera on a stack of magazine or books, and a large vase with white cherry blossom branches.

A glass of iced coffee on a wooden coaster on a table, with a laptop, glasses, a phone, and a spoon in the background.

Stack of five vintage books, with the bottom book titled 'The Quest of the Golden Girl' by Richard Callen, the second 'Goldsmith's Poems', and others in between with faded covers.
