Hey There, I’m Kairen!

Ex-single mum | full time doodler | garden office enthusiast

Once upon a time, I was knee-deep in packed lunches, solo parenting, and wondering if “me time” was a real thing. Fast forward a couple of decades, and now I work from home (in my garden, no less), run multiple Etsy shops, and spend most days drawing things that make me smile—and hopefully you too.

I’ve swapped school runs for slow mornings, and I write about life after kids, creative living, and why it’s absolutely okay to start over (even if you forget where you put your tea… again). With this newfound freedom, I’ve dived into exploring my passions and discovering joy in everyday moments. Recently, I’ve been curating a collection of printable boutique design ideas that inspire creativity and personal expression. Embracing the idea of starting over has allowed me to connect with myself in ways I never imagined possible. As I navigate this journey, I’ve also discovered practical tools that help streamline my days. For anyone looking to enhance their routines, it’s amazing how you can improve productivity with a planner, making it easier to focus on what truly matters. This simple shift has led to a more intentional approach to my time and creativity, enriching my life even further.

This blog is a mix of midlife musings, gentle chaos, and a little bit of glitter.
