I recently purchased the My Brain Books by Orlanda Bettison and wanted to share a little look inside 🧠📚

These books are designed to help children understand their emotions, anxiety, and how their brain works — in a really simple, child-friendly way.

As someone interested in children’s wellbeing and SEN, I always find resources like this so valuable, especially when they give children actual tools.

I’ve just uploaded a video showing a quick flip-through of the full bundle if you’d like to see more 💛 https://youtu.be/SpAL63TtKGc

Would you use something like this at home or in school?

🗓️ Academic Planner Setup 2026–2027

We’re at the end of another academic year, so I’ve shared how I set up my academic planner for the next one — adding in key dates, organising everything in one place, and using simple colour coding to keep on top of work, school life, and family commitments.

It’s not my main planner, but it really helps having a clear overview of the whole academic year.

If you’re starting to think about September, you might find it helpful 🤍

🎨 NEW Illustration Video!

I’ve just shared a behind-the-scenes look at how I illustrated my first picture book The Wolf Who Ate Alone — from the first sketches to the final printed pages.

I’m not a trained illustrator, so this book pushed me well outside my comfort zone, but it was also one of the most enjoyable creative projects I’ve worked on.

📦 Selling Digital Products Online?

Do you use Etsy — or somewhere else?

I’ve just uploaded a NEW video showing how I use Payhip as an alternative (or alongside Etsy), including a beginner tutorial for setting up a simple digital product store.

I’d love to know where you currently sell your digital products 👇

This is a quiet, metaphorical story about individuality, belonging, and the courage to be yourself — inspired by my own children and the everyday moments children go through.
