Hello…I’m just on here to wish you all a very Merry Christmas ❤️ I hope it’s filled with love and calm and peace.

You’re incredible for just showing up for the day as it’s quite an ordeal for so many I know. Find something to enjoy and be with people that value you and that you actually want to be around.

I’m going out for Christmas lunch tomorrow with the boys and family for the first time ever. The start of a new tradition or a one off…we shall see! Can safely say that I’ve not missed all the food shopping and I will not miss the cooking and am so looking forward to wearing a pretty dress and being waited on!

So many of you have been asking after the boys and myself you know ❤️❤️ you’re all truly lovely. They’re both doing so well and I’m one lucky mama.

George smashed his GCSE’s earlier this year and after well earned summer…he started sixth form in September. He’s turned 17 and is having driving lessons! Where does the time go hey!

Jack is all good. Kind and I’m truly not quite sure what I’d have done without him this last year. He’s loving work and more than that…he’s loving his life. It’s all you want for them isn’t it.

I’m sending my love as always to you all. I feel that this has been a tough old year for lots of us and yet look at us with our 100% success rate of getting through things ❤️

I’ve made some truly beautiful things for you…thank you so kindly.

Including this little stocking for this little friend of mine 🩷 xx this is Polly…she was one last week. I’ve been blessed to watch her grow this last year. I gifted Polly and her siblings stockings last week and her mummy sent me this last night. Matchy matchy and we didn’t even know…one of those lovely moments where the universe does its own beautiful little thing 💫

For those that life is being wonderful too…wonderful…don’t ever feel like you dont deserve it or it’s not your time to be happy…it is your time ❤️

And for those that life is being a little bit of a test for…keep going…keep believing in better times and better things…your time will come and you will find happiness again ❤️

Never stop talking about those loved ones that are no longer here because as I always say ‘what is remembered lives for always’ ❤️

Deep hey…I’m unapologetic too as it’s real isn’t it.

Much much love and thank you for the constant support.

Thank you so much for yesterday’s love after my post ❤️ you’re all just so lovely.

I’m on here again today for this most beautiful girl Rosie Thompson 🩷 It’s very sadly her funeral today. She really was incredible…brave…loving and selfless.

Sadly I didn’t get to know Rosie until she had received the worst possible news with regards to her precious life. This was just part of her first message to me…can you even imagine 😞💔

‘I want two bears with a a mixture of mine clothes and my little boys for one for my coffin and one for him to keep i know i enquired before but there has been update and I only have months so want to get all sorted’

I wasn’t taking on orders but immediately just told her I’d get them done. Rosie said she would get the things dropped over. She actually brought them herself and I was just in absolute awe of her…the way she carried herself…how open she was about what was going on for her. Mostly though how much she wanted ‘things sorted’ for her little boy Ellis 💙

We called and messaged for the little while whilst I was making the bears and when she came to collect them…I explained that there was quite a bit of fabric left and that I’d like to make Ellis a blanket if that’s was okay with her. We hugged and she said it would be perfect but that she didn’t want to see it so would I please make sure that he got it when she was no longer here 😞 I agreed.

I dipped in and out in the coming months and Rosie maintained her humour and her calmness. She took such comfort from her family and friends…she said that you were all amazing. She said she was doing well to still be here too.

I think we all hoped and prayed for a miracle. Very sadly…Rosie fell to sleep surrounded by her loved ones earlier this month 💔

I stuck to my word and made sure her son got his blanket from his mummy and his family very kindly sent me the most beautiful picture of him with it ❤️💔❤️

This is what I mean about how special it is to be trusted with such precious items you see and Rosie trusted me 🙏🙏

Rest now Rosie and god bless you and Ellis and all of your loved ones xx

Hello there. Just nipped on here to send you all love for Fathers Day today ❤️

Every year I do this and every year more and more of you have sadly lost your own Father’s and some of you have very sadly lost your own children too 💔 Nothing I can say can make any of that hurt less. I do think about you all and I do share in some of those feelings too. You’re all incredible for just still getting up and showing up.

However you have spent your day today please just please have spent it where the love is and not where it isn’t. Where the beautiful memories are and not focusing on the not so good ones. If you don’t understand this then know you are very lucky.

So many times we find ourselves chasing things, people, support and love in the places we know it is isn’t and it’s soul destroying and yet we continue to do it

I know I say it lots on here but always look for the love and go there…I promise there is some.

Hold your children close and your Daddy’s too…love them and tell them so.

For those that today is a struggle for..I hope you have had peace and calm and that you’ve been blessed with some moments of beautiful memories ❤️

I’m still not taking on orders at present but I truly do still care for you all.

My love
Sara xx

This is my Dad and me last summer at the races. I’m very lucky to get to have days like this with him I know ❤️ thank you Dad…very fortunate to have had the same dentist too as you can see! 🤣❤️

Thinking of my step dad Pedro too today. A good gentle and kind man. Hilarious too but I’m not sure he knew 😂❤️

Hello…I’ve just come on here to say Happy Mother’s Day to you beautiful mama’s out there. I’m sharing one of my favourite photos of my Jack & George 💙💙 I remember taking it like it was yesterday.

I’ve had a lovely chilled day. I saw my own mum earlier and then the boys did me a lunch of my favourite things and they let me choose the film to watch…this really never happens 🤣

Anyway…I’m rambling. I really just wanted to send you all lots of love and peace. For the new mums, the grieving mums, the mums that haven’t yet had children but are on that journey. To the step mums and foster mums. To all the aunts, grandmas and godmothers. To the friends that look out for your children as if they’re their own. Basically to every single female out there because at some point you will have offered motherly advice or stepped up or stepped in in such a way that will have made a difference 🩷

Sending lots of love to you all 🩷 xx

Hello you lovely kind lot. I do hope you’re all doing okay.

I just wanted to come on here and give this truly lovely lady a mention 🩷 Christine Lord 🩷

We celebrate her life today. She was just a beautiful lady and was loved by so many. So so brave too.

My love and my thoughts are with her family today 🩷 xx thinking of a childhood full of memories. That baby in her arms is me…I won’t ever forget the warmth in her cuddles. Last year I was lucky enough to thank her for loving me like she did when I was a little girl.

A little reminder to leave nothing unsaid…if you feel it in your heart then say it…find the time to open your heart to the people that you love and those who love you. Time is such a precious thing isn’t it…the most precious thing actually.

Goodnight and God bless Christine 🩷 xx

Wishing you all a very lovely peaceful New Year’s Eve. I know for the last decade I’ve posted on this very night…with hope and thanks for a beautiful year. I’m not feeling this at all this year sadly. And yet still trying to think of what I can post! 🙏🙏🙏

So here we go…listen to yourself…that gut feeling…it’s never ever wrong! Try and love yourself even a little and then it doesn’t matter if nobody else does.

Try and be a good person…even when faced with adversity…just be good and do good. Be kind and remember why you do that kindness and mindfulness stuff…Do it because you don’t ever want anyone to feel like you did or do in those moments.

Know your flaws…own them and apologise for them! This bit on repeat! If they really care then they will forgive you and if they don’t then who were they anyway.

Don’t beat yourself up for believing in people and their words…it says more about them when they let you you down than it does about you for believing in them.

Yes 2024…you brought me joy and you brought me such sorrow…you weakened me and yet you also made me strong…forever grateful as every single thing in life is a lesson ❤️ xx

Much love to you all and I truly wish you the best for 2025 xx not sharing a bear with you tonight but my newest baby girl because I think I only mentioned her for the first time the other day. This was her when she first arrived. She is feisty…loud…greedy…funny and the most loving little thing. I was questioned on keeping her a few months ago but my goodness she’s a real faithful keeper 💗💗 xx ‘she’s the Girl’ …fifth in line of the title in truth (if you know then you know🤣💗) but the she’s the girl never the less ###xx

Hello…I’ve just come on here to wish you all a Merry Christmas. The magic seems to be a little less and the expense is huge. I think lots of you are feeling this this year…I know I am. I decided to not sweat the small stuff and go where the love and kindness are ❤️

We can spend far too long seeking validation from those that actually don’t care…like I said…go where the love and kindness are ❤️

Because what I have found this last year is that I am loved and I do get shown such kindness…I just wasn’t noticing it because I was wasting time chasing it where it was not. If I can be shown love and kindness like I’ve been shown this year then anyone can! ❤️

As with every single year…my thoughts are with those facing Christmas without a loved one…whether it’s the first year or the twenty first year…I’m thinking about you all ❤️

To the those that are around those that have lost loved ones and you aren’t sure what to say then please…ask them about their lost loved ones…say their names and tell their stories…they want to talk about them because what is remembered lives for always.

To those that are currently unwell…I pray it passes and that you are all being well looked after❤️

To all you brand new parents…just savour every moment ❤️ xx do not worry about the Christmas dinner or getting around to see all your loved ones. It’s all good and honestly it flies by so just enjoy it.

To all of you that have been there this year…thank you so truly. You all know who you are❤️ xx

Thank you for all your trust in me again and for your continued support ❤️

Much love Sara xx

Good morning 🩷 I do hope you’re all okay and your little ones of course.

My George starts his mock GCSE’s today and I just can’t believe it’s this time already. Poor boy has his 16th birthday plonked right in the middle of this next three weeks of exams too!

I know lots of you have children the same age and I just wanted to come on here to wish them all good luck really.

They can truly only do their best can’t they and we can only guide them. The beauty in mock exams is that they really are quite a kick up the bum aren’t they. They will know at the end of these exams…the importance of revision and it will hopefully further prepare them for the real exams next summer…gosh!

Not to make excuses at all…this school year is still massively affected by Covid and there is to be no allowance given to them in their results like in previous years…for missing the last term of primary school and the whole first year of secondary school. They’ve really done so well just to get here ❤️

My George moved counties in year 6 and therefore he started a brand new secondary school knowing only two people. We were assured that he would be okay because they’re resilient aren’t they and he was having transition days and then extra transition days because he was the only pupil from his primary school going there.

Then Covid hit and and all that was gone…it affected us all in so many different ways. The one thing we all wanted to do was to protect our little ones wasn’t it and my goodness it was tough.

The homeschooling 🙈😂 there’s nothing about diamond mining that I don’t know! 😂 comes in handy for the odd question on ‘The Chase’ I guess 🤣🤣 oh and oceans too…and continents! Hahaha. Here’s hoping we never ever have to go back to those days hey 🙏

So yeah…let’s reassure them a little more and let’s remind them that their best really is more than enough. Let them have their favourite food for three weeks and let them relax! The down time is the most important part of exam preparation really. They need to be allowed to switch off at some point…they need sleep and rest.

Good luck to them all…I’m rooting for this beautiful little lot of ours ❤️

Much love Sara xx

Hello there. I’ve had so many enquiries recently and I’m ever so grateful for them. I’m not taking anymore orders on at present and I hope I’ve answered everyone…please let me know if you haven’t heard back from me…it’s easy to miss them on here sadly you see.

I just wanted to write something about grief today really as lots of you have mentioned this in your recent messages…grief is the hardest emotion I’ve ever known and it’s felt on so many levels and not just as a part of death…grief is about any horrific loss and we all deal with it in so many different ways…none of them are the wrong way by the way…it’s a struggle to say the least.

I believe that the struggle is where your strength comes in though…not everyone can see that because moments of strength in grief are personal and quite often grief is endured in solitude.

Please believe though that you show strength through the bravery you show every single day. Even just getting out of bed some days is enough…walking around in a new and very unfamiliar world filled with some real sharp edges at times! Your strength is in opening those precious memories whilst the whole time knowing you will cry. It's saying your loved ones name out loud everywhere and to everyone. Strength in grief is acknowledging the feelings and expressing all the emotions that come with it. Strength in grief is facing it all head on because you have no other choice.

Grief is timeless and it’s a rollercoaster…sometimes it’s just to say manageable and most times it’s an unbearable pain.

It is possible though to live alongside your grief and it is possible to do this without guilt too…I believe that’s the hardest part in truth.

You’re all doing amazing ❤️ you are not weak…you are strong. Keep going…keep mentioning their names and reliving those precious memories because what is remembered lives forever ❤️

This little guy is called ‘Exeter Bear’ he is made from a dear friends favourite football shirt. I made him for his daughter Ellie so she had something of her dad with her for his final goodbye ❤️ her mum said it brought such comfort.

Much love and much strength Sara ###x
