Well hello there! It's been a while.
Even though I've not been here on the page, I've been busy behind the scenes as always. Sales continue as normal, and I'm thankful for them. Please do continue to use my online shop, or contact me through WhatsApp or messenger. I'm always around even when you're not hearing me talk rubbish on here! Life just got a bit hectic lately, lots to deal with π
Some lovely news though, one of my little book angels has flown back to me. Delighted to have Ashleigh back in the team, and excited to see where her dreams take her this time. If you'd like to take advantage of the join up offer and give selling a go, you'll need to be fast because it ends tomorrow. Fifty squid worth of extra books to start off your own bookshop with ππ bonus!
Hope you're all well, and I'll be back annoying you as normal anytime now π

Helllooooo, I'm still here! Just busy busy and lots of changes to routine. Hope you're all well?
I've got a one-off here for anyone who wants it. Little.bit of damage to the box during the delivery. (It wouldn't matter to anyone else, but since I know it's there I have to do this). My snap sets are usually Β£5.99, I'm selling this for Β£4 due to the little tear in the pack. Makes absolutely no difference to the gorgeous snap cards, and might be ideal for anyone planning a trip to the zoo this summer, or just for a rainy day activity for days like today.
Gimme a shout if you'd like this set, and I'll get it to you. Nicola xx

Today is the last day of the school morning routine for us for a whole summer!! βοΈ
No more listing the things I need them to do, and then listing it again when I come back and find them in the same position, and then again when I tell them how long it is until the bell. Well, at least until August!
πͺ₯If you have a little toothbrush refuser, or reluctant dresser, or picky eater, I have a selection of books that might be helpful to you. There's also an excellent book in the series for potty training. Check out my website or get in touch for more details.

Grown-ups who belong to school aged children, I have a question for you..... are you knackered?
π€£I'm absolutely jiggered. I think the last week's of school EVERYTHING gets squeezed in and there's. Lot of info and events chucked at us. My brain is a very busy place trying to remember all the various things I need to apply or be present at. What about you?
If you know someone who needs a bit of help winding down for any reason, ask me about our mindful range of books. Hopefully there's something that will help you out π (I'm pretty.confodent there will be)

On World Refugee Day I have to show you the most beautiful book to help you learn about one of the most difficult subjects.
Usborne do this so well. Breaking down the facts and sharing them in an informative, sensitive and helpful way, to answer questions that sometimes stump us, about subjects that can be hard to discuss. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Compassion shouldn't be something we have to strive for, but unfortunately not everyone thinks like us π

Now, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm Scottish. And summer in Scotland is a very complicated time. There's taps aff Tuesday. Then there's the days when you happily put your washing out at first light, only to race back to the garden in a hailstorm to save it. And that's after you've been at the park for three hours and the hailstones hurt your sunburn.
There's the fact that while you're all off enjoying the school holidays, a hundred English folk will tell you 'oh, that's soooo early. We're not stopping for ages yet'. We know. We have lived this.
There's that one glorious day when EVERYONE in Scotland fancies a salad. And there's no salad to be had anywhere. What are you supposed to have with your cold meat, grated cheese and chips??? It's madness I tells ye
And don't even get me started on the midges
Anyhoo.... If you've read this far you deserve a treat, and here it is..... this little summer make and do is BRAND NEW and ready to be used during the holidays when you're at your wits end. And not only is it available from me, but I've reduced it to a fiver which is a steal really (RRP Β£6.99).
If you'd like one you know what to do ...

Do I worry? Yes I do! A lot.
Do I need to do this much worrying? Nope. But I can't help myself. So today I decided enough was enough.
I did a big thing. (For me)
I've not been in a swimming pool for nearly 5 years, and today I thought sod it and put on the new costume and got in with my weans.
Did I worry? Nah, not really. I had a word with myself. And if anyone was looking at me funny it didn't matter cos I had my glasses off and couldny see them π€£
It's a big deal for me. Not just the being in public in an uncomfortable situation and attire. But there's feet in there. Bare feet! Including mine π±
If I can do it, you can do whatever it is you've been putting off through fear or worrying or anxiety. Do the thing! (Then come n tell me about it and I'll give you a virtual high five and a pat on the back).

Well hello ππ»
There's a person behind every small business, and if you didn't know who you've been buying books from.....
Surprise! It's me, hi! π
I'd love to see the small business owners show their little mushes this and tell me a story. No pressure though
πI've been selling Usborne books since 2010
πI read every day, and I LOVE a chat about books
πMy background is in childcare and education, and I now meet lots of my past little customers and attendees as they purchase books for their own children π€¦π»ββοΈ I'm old! π€£

If you're currently navigating the end of primary school transition, or the hormonal high jumps, or any of the other fun parts of pre-teen life.... may the odds be ever in your favour. But also, a little bit of help in the form of these three guide books. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and they're available from me whenever you need them πππ§‘

Question: if you could turn any favourite film into a gorgeous graphic novel, which one would it be?
I was beside myself when I saw this. My favourite Usborne release of all time. Stunning, and perfect, and mine.... OH MY! ππ

There are MANY things I love about books, but this book covers 3 of them straight off....
πBeautiful inside covers
π A gorgeous or meaningful quote
π A map. I LOVE a book with a map
Anyone in agreement on these bookish qualities?
If you love an adventure story, ask me for the first chapter of this brand new offering from Clare Povey. My copies arrived this week before June's official publishing date, and I am hooked π π

Books for all ages & interests - talk to me about joining my team
I joined Usborne Books at Home in 2011, and Iβm so glad I did! Love the books, the earnings, the friends Iβve made, the new ventures Iβve tried and the freebies for my two little bookworms. Makes me happy!
