🎈Joyseekers Wanted🎈⠀ ⠀ ✨Hello and happy June!⠀ ⠀ ✨My husband and I have been enjoying time with family over half term, and I have taken a much needed breather from social media. ⠀ ⠀ 🌀For my family's sake, and my own sanity, I needed a little calm and headspace. ⠀ ⠀ 🐻How are you doing? ⠀ ⠀ 🐲I don't feel like I've been alone in having found the last few weeks of lockdown and the pandemic a little tougher than those initial weeks. I've made moves to remove a MAJOR distraction from my life (more of which later) which, whilst positive, has left a bit of a gap and, surprisingly, a few low feelings. So...I've been hunting out JOY.⠀ ⠀ 🎈I will be going into more detail in my weekly newsletter, with some really exciting recommends (to sign up to my newsletter, hit the link above in my bio), but it has been fun rediscovering and in some cases figuring out new things that brings me joy.⠀ ⠀ ✨How about you? What things - especially the LITTLE, unexpected things - bring you joy? I would love to hear, so do drop a comment below - you will help me on my treasure hunt! ⠀ ⠀ xox⠀ Alexia ⠀ ⠀ 📷 @catherine_frawley ✨⠀ ⠀ ⠀

💌Writing you a Love Letter💌⠀ ⠀ ✨One of the things which is fast becoming my favourite part of my working week - alongside packing up orders, which is methodical and surprisingly soothing…is pulling together my weekly love letter for 🌳The Pea Tribe🌳 - my gorgeous, sparkly newsletter subscribers! ⠀ ⠀ 🎈I hope you are already one of them…but on the off chance you aren’t and I can tempt you - which, you’ll notice, I do try to in these here squares - let me tell you a bit about it!⠀ ⠀ 📣As a person of MANY enthusiasms - just ask all of those I’ve subjected them to over the past few years - this is providing a place where I can channel all of them, and gather them into one place. Where I can enthuse with licence, in the hopes it might ignite the spark you need!⠀ ⠀ 🚀There’s pretty much no topic off limits…life design, inspiration for living a creative life, book/podcast/website recommendations, parenting resources and activities for children that I’ve found have worked for mine, even the odd recipe that has blown my mind…if I’m excited about it, and I think you’ll love it as much as me, I tell 🌳The Pea Tribe🌳. Every Friday, they receive a carefully crafted love note from little ol' me. ⠀ ⠀ 💫It’s such a lovely chance to remind myself each week of everything that is currently inspiring creativity, informing or entertaining me, or simply piquing my curiosity. Each week I give three of the gold nuggets I’ve encountered, in whatever guise they may be⠀ ⠀ ☝🏻So, have you signed up yet?!?! If not, hop on over to my website (link in bio above), scroll to the bottom, and there's a place you can join in the dance party.⠀ ⠀ 👂🏻And if you have, what else might you like to hear about each week? Tomorrow I’ve got a few recommends of books that I am in LOOOVE with! ⠀ ⠀ S.W.A.L.K.⠀ 💌⠀ Alexia

🐷Time for something different!🐷⠀ ⠀ 💫Here are the things in our (terrifyingly predictable) weekly routine that are currently giving me strength and adding just that little bit of much needed variety:⠀ ⠀ 🎈date night with my husband, rather than watching a film (which we can next to NEVER agree on) we’ve started watching @masterclass by @neilhimself (legendary and prolific author Neil Gaiman) about the art of storytelling. Love & Connection AND Learning & Growth - two of my needs ticked!⠀ 🎈@theyesmummum’s family conversation cards leading to unexpectedly revealing and enjoyable conversations with the fam⠀ 🎈Friday Night - ‘Going In’ for dinner: getting dressed up to an outrageous degree, then treating ourselves to a takeout from our local Indian as a break from the week’s non-stop cooking, followed by a bit of comedy - what’s currently making you giggle? We’d love some new show fodder!⠀ 🎈Saturday Spa night - nice nails make eeeeverything better, and I can’t get to @jems.wittering like normal⠀ ⠀ 🌀Give me some inspiration, what are you doing to change your days up a smidge?⠀ ⠀ ✨With the children’s routine and homeschooling leaving little time for anything else, the challenge I’m finding now is getting the variety into the week that I'm starting to need.⠀ ⠀ 🐖I don't believe I've popped the final design of these little piggies up - they are showing all the different sorts of activities I’d like to be getting up to if I had a spare moment. They’re a wallpaper design for a wallpaper that would have been put up around now, so I thought I'd give you a sneaky peeky. I'd love to hear what you think! ⠀ ⠀ xox⠀ Alexia

✨May the Fourth be with you!✨⠀ ⠀ 🐻How are you doing? ⠀ ⠀ 🎈What things have you got planned for this week to keep things fun?⠀ ⠀ 📦 I’ll be getting out a whole bunch more of your orders which I can’t wait to pack up for you. It’s a surprisingly therapeutic process. Bit of ☕️& 🎶 and off I go...⠀ ⠀ 📣Thank you for all the lovely reviews coming in of ‘Samuel and the Monster’, I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to hear from happy customers, to see pictures of children reading the book, hear their thoughts and feedback and, in some cases, see videos of them reading. SO special. Please keep sharing and spreading the happy!⠀ ⠀ 🙊I’ll also be joining in @victojeiro and @leonieflowerstudio’s #jointhepatternparty. Check out their feeds, and also my stories for the ridiculous combinations I’ll likely be coming up with in an attempt to inject interest into what is fast becoming a veh predictable lockdown wardrobe (I say wardrobe, I really mean one dungaree dress). ⠀ ⠀ 🐛As per this pic, not much has changed in the 35 years sine this was taken. STILL wearing that classic combination of dungarees, polo necks, and a fringe. ⠀ ⠀ 🌀Have to work harder on the nonchalent care-free look these days though...⠀ ⠀ xox⠀ Alexia ⠀ ⠀ 📷 creds to my mum or dad c.1985?
