🌿 About Me
Hi, I’m Emma 🤍
I’m a stay-at-home mum of two boys, a book lover, and someone who’s learning how to create a slower, more intentional life — while also trying to build financial stability for my family.
This space started as a way for me to share life… but over time, it’s become so much more.
Now, it’s where I share:
the books I can’t put down
the real ways I save money as a family of four
and my journey learning how to make money from home
All while navigating motherhood, messy routines, and everything in between.
🤍 My Life Right Now
My days are full — in the best and hardest ways.
I have two young boys (ages 3 and 5), which means life is loud, busy, emotional, and constantly changing. There are cuddles, chaos, snack requests every five minutes, and moments where I feel completely overwhelmed… and moments where I wish I could freeze time.
I’m a pretty relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of mum. We have slow mornings, lots of cuddles, plenty of screen time, and a home that’s lived in — not perfect.
And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
📚 My Love for Books
Somewhere in the middle of motherhood, I found my way back to reading — and it quickly became my thing.
Books are my escape at the end of the day.
They’re my quiet time, my reset, and sometimes the only thing I do just for me.
I read a mix of:
fantasy
dark romance
emotional romance
anything that pulls me in and makes me feel something
On here, I share:
monthly reading wrap-ups
honest, no-filter reviews
books I’m obsessed with
and ones I maybe didn’t love as much
If you’re someone who loves getting lost in a good book — you’ll feel right at home here.
💸 Why I Started Sharing About Money
At one point, things felt tight financially.
We were doing what we could, but I didn’t feel in control — and that feeling stuck with me.
So I started learning.
How to budget.
How to grocery shop smarter.
How to stretch money further without feeling like we were missing out.
And slowly, things started to change.
Now, I share:
how I feed a family of 4 on a budget
simple, realistic budgeting routines
ways I cut costs without overcomplicating life
Nothing extreme, nothing unrealistic — just what actually works for us.
💻 My Journey Making Money From Home
This is the part I’m still building — and I’m bringing you along for all of it.
As a stay-at-home mum, I wanted a way to:
contribute financially
have something for myself
and create more freedom for our future
So I started exploring ways to make money online:
blogging
digital products
affiliate links
content creation
Some things have worked, some haven’t — and I share both.
I’ll be posting:
income reports
what I’m trying
what’s working (and what’s not)
real behind-the-scenes of building something from scratch
No gatekeeping, no pretending it’s easy — just real progress.

Trying to:

It’s about:
