Welcome, Dear Friend – A Gentle Introduction To Our New Blog

Hello and welcome. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

My name is Melody – Mama to three little ones who I lovingly call my three little acorns. I’m also the founder of Little Acorns to Mighty Oaks, a space that has been growing gently since 2008, long before I held my own babies in my arms.

Rooted in my background in early childhood education and watered daily by my love of simple, toxin-free living, this little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve gathered from both the head and the heart.

Over the years, as my children have grown and flourished under the canopy of our homeschooling days, I’ve learned how powerful slow, intentional living can be. We’ve embraced wooden toys over plastic, open-ended play over screens, and above all – presence over perfection.

Here, you won’t photos of my children's faces, just little hands and tops of heads. Their privacy and freedom to grow without a digital footprint is one of the ways I honour their unfolding selves in this age of overexposure.

This blog is an offering – a basket of gathered wisdom, stories from our homeschooling journey, tips for creating a peaceful, playful home, and reflections on my deep-rooted passion for the beautiful, ethical brands we partner with.

Whether you’re a fellow parent, an educator, or simply someone drawn to a gentler way of growing children and nurturing home, I hope you’ll find comfort and inspiration here.

From little acorns, mighty oaks truly do grow. Thank you for walking alongside me.

With warmth and wonder,
Mama Oak
