  • Episode 25 : A Soul Nourishing Advent Season
    This episode of The English Homemaker is about the joy, abundance and overwhelm of Christmas for the homemaker. I talk about how I set about creating a really intentional advent season, how I learnt to say 'no', take the pressure off and choose what our family needs. I discuss the slow living Christmas ideas I have already set in motion, how I space and plan everything out and what warm, cosy activities we've got going for December. "May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a friend."

  • Episode 24: In a Glorious State of Disarray
    This episode of The English Homemaker is about home renovations, the ups and downs of having our bathroom redone and our rooms painted. And ultimately about always choosing joy in the process, practicing gratitude and why we consistently choose good quality over the cheaper, easier option.

  • Episode 23: Living a Principled Permaculture Life, with Martin Carter
    This episode of The English Homemaker is the continuation of our last episode, we came back to talk through Permaculture principles 7-12, delve in to how they can apply to much more than the garden, and explain this deep way of living in culture. It's an intense episode, delving into the psychological ways we can apply these ideas as well as the practical. But goodness gracious, these are life-changing, mind-blowing ideas!

  • Episode 22: Permaculture for the Homemaker, with Martin Carter
    This episode of The English Homemaker is a conversation with my brother, Martin, about how we can start to use the principles of permaculture as homemakers. We talk through our beginner level understanding of the fascinating ethics and principles behind this design science. It's super applicable to all of us, it's not about agriculture, it's not about homesteading, it's a way of living in alignment with our values and the planet and the communities we are in. This is a really impassioned conversation between my older brother Martin and I - he has been in two previous episodes and those set some of the groundwork for today, so do go and listen to Episodes 7 and 14 as well to hear more about who he is and how his gorgeous family moved to Sweden.

  • Episode 21: Back to School? Our Homeschool Adventure
    This episode of The English Homemaker is all about home education, our story, why we started and what we're doing right now. I hope this is a helpful overview of the pros and cons of different education choices, and if it's something you're considering, I hope this gives you something to chew on. Please remember, every family, every child is different, and quite frankly, every country and community too - so what I share really is only relevant to the small little world we live in, but stories are helpful so I thought I'd share! It's a big topic and I've only just scraped the surface with this episode, but I hope you take it for what it is, our story.
