    The Grace Files

    Cottonwood Favourites

    We love nothing more than a surprise delivery at our door, and today I was lucky enough to receive these elegant health and care journals from a wonderful small business called, The Grace Files. They specialise in beautiful bespoke journals, with an emphasis on child health, cancer care and caring for others.

    The timing of these journals could not be more relevant, as just a few short weeks ago I was desperately searching for our daughters “blue book” (the medical book which holds all her health and immunisation records etc) as she started pre-school, and I still have not been able to find it. I know it will turn up somewhere, but truthfully, I was careless about it’s whereabouts.

    Enter the Life + Notes journal from The Grace Files and I know with certainty that I won’t misplace this! It’s far too beautiful for starters, but also contains pages for all things related to your childs health & wellbeing, growth and medical records, as well as precious life moments to remember, so this will be a book that lives in our kitchen which we can frequently update and review.

    Being a typical creative, if something looks pretty I’m much more likely to use it but also less likely to be careless about it! It drives my husband mad and he can’t understand why I have spent so much money at Kikki K over the years!

    These journals are super elegant, with stunning photography, well planned, compact and tactile.

    The Love Letters To My Child journal is also such a beautiful and precious idea, and with our 2nd baby on the way I am really looking forward to having a journal to document the journey in and write precious notes that I can give to both our children when they are older. We didn’t do this with our first, despite being given a few baby books to write in, and if i’m honest they were probably a little childish so it didn’t entice me to want to write in it, whereas The Grace Files journals are for grown ups.

    These journals make a beautiful and thoughtful gift for parents-to-be, new parents, or those with young children. They also have a Care + Notes journal which is designed to be a beautiful, helpful and supportive tool to accompany you throughout your treatment and to provide you with an organised place to record your medical details.

    I really, really love these notebooks and know so many others will too. x

    *this post is not sponsored. We were gifted 2 journals by The Grace Files, and after receiving them I really felt it’s something worth sharing as they are beautiful, unique and useful, and know so many parents who have had the same problem keeping their children’s medical records on hand or up to date.

    💫 Beyond excited to share my latest collaboration... our living room featured on the cover, and inside, the Christmas edition of @potterybarnaus #TheCollectedHome ✨🌲!! Truly, its a huge honour, not just because of the company of so many talented designers and tastemakers who all grace the pages of this beautifully produced publication, but because I have loved everything @potterybarnaus since before they came to Australia. AND I get to work with the most incredibly talented and unbelievably hardworking team of women at PB, who make me feel like family.

I’ll talk more in upcoming posts about this space, as you may notice this was our formal dining room although we didn’t use it very often and we were desperate for a second living space, but it wasn’t an easy space to configure.

However, this room is without question my favourite room I’ve ever decorated and lived in. I feel like I’m in my very own @nmeyers movie when I’m sitting in this room, with it’s cottage charm, twinkling Christmas tree lights and all my favourite books and things around me ☺️✨. I’ve never felt more home, even though we’re in a rental. You can see more inside latest The Collected Home which is available in store @potterybarnaus and online (for my US friends). Xx

    Before it got insanely dry 😕 My shoot for the lovely @maehillfarm with the sweetest, most gentle cows I’ve come across. Hard to not feel deeply affected by this drought. It’s scary and uncertain And I just can’t stop thinking about all our farmers and their communities doing it inexplicably tough right now 💔 #buyfromthebush

    Another busy week that ended with all of us in the family having individual collective meltdowns last night (myself included 🤦🏼‍♀️). If anyone was standing outside our house, the shouting, crying and tantrums must have been appallingly audible 🥴 I don’t know if it’s that time of year or just a random crazy end of week exhaustion, but gee whizz, I’m ready for some down time!

Just going to sit right here ☝🏼and have my coffee in a moment and not rush off anywhere (despite having a million things to do) Hope you all have a lovely wknd with no shouting or crying! 😆 💫 #home

    Not quite like this here in the Highlands today 🙌🏼 Woke up to freezing temps, then an angry storm cell passed over, which gave us a drizzle of rain and strong winds, and now the sun is back out 🧐. Bizarre weather but will happily take more rain. The wind can bugger right off though.

An outtake from my recent @homebeautiful shoot which you can see more of in the current December issue, featuring the home of @louisekeats who’s view this belongs to! 🙌🏼👌🏼 #homebeautiful #homebeautifulmagazine
