Whimsy & Wonder Blog | A Soulful Journal by Em Whalan
A Journey Through Motherhood, Loss, Creative Business, and Becoming
A journal & blog of words and wonder, born from a life lived deeply — in all its beauty, ache, softness, and strength.
Here, I share raw and reflective stories of motherhood, womanhood, creativity, and connection — from my home in Medowie, nestled in the heart of Port Stephens and near the wild edges of the Hunter Valley.
It’s a space where stories unfold slowly — led by wonder, shaped by seasons, and stitched from an eclectic life lived with heart. It’s also the beating heart behind Whimsy & Wonder Photography — where storytelling doesn’t end with words, but lives on through soulful imagery, honest connection, and the quiet power of being seen.
