About

Hi there!

I’m Lydia. AKA The Dappled Willow.

I’m married to my man Daniel and together we have three beautiful children; Henry, Freddy and Ginny. (Yes, they are all named after Harry Potter characters, some more subtly than others. )

You can learn more about my love of dappled willows by reading my first blog post. Basically, I have a dappled willow tree in my front yard and it reminds me I’m on a lifelong journey of growth and pruning. And I need to dance in the wind when it comes and hold on through stormy weather and is it weird that I think of this tree so symbolically? I mean it even has freckles like me!

Anyway, I’m on a mission to make changes for the better, little by little, one day at a time. That includes improvements for my home, health, budget, family and self. It’s not going to be easy, so I’ll need some help and encouragement along the way.

You can find me on Instagram and Facebook if you want to see more frequent updates on my latest improvement projects.

I hope you join me on this journey!
