You asked. Here I am, answering.
No question is too small. If something isn’t answered here, reach out — I read every message myself and reply personally.
Who is this for?
Honestly? Anyone. A parent whose kids have their own busy lives now. A grandparent whose house has gotten quiet. Someone your age who’s tired in a way that’s hard to explain. A friend who’s never gotten a real letter in their life. Anyone who loves the feeling of real mail, or misses having a penpal, or just wants something warm to look forward to every month. You don’t need a reason beyond that — wanting it is enough.
About the letters
Is it really you writing every letter?
Yes. Every single word. I sit down each month and write — about the season, what’s on my mind, what life looks like from where I’m standing. No team, no templates, no shortcuts. Just me, a pen, and a lot of heart. That’s the whole point.
What's actually inside each envelope?
Six things — a personal letter from me, an affirmation card with one sentence worth keeping, The Little Extra (something different every month — a question, a checklist, a scratch card, a spark), seasonal stickers, an original illustrated postcard, and a tea bag. Make the tea first. Then read the letter. That’s the ritual.
Does the content change every month?
Always. Every letter is written fresh — a new season, a new feeling, new stickers, new art, a new Little Extra. Nothing is ever repeated. Every envelope is its own little world.
Gifting & trying it first
Can I give this as a gift to someone else?
Yes — this is one of the most common ways people join. Choose any plan, mark it as a gift at checkout, add a short note, and I’ll write it into their very first envelope by hand. It ships to them, not you, and I let you know once it’s on its way.
What if the person I'm gifting this to isn't comfortable online?
Completely understandable, and very common with older parents and grandparents. You can set everything up yourself as the gift-giver — I never need the recipient to touch a computer or make an account.
Can I try one letter before subscribing?
Yes. A single one-time envelope is available for $22 — no subscription, no auto-renewal. It’s exactly what a founding member receives that month, just without any commitment.
Shipping & delivery
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in Canada — that’s it for now. I ship through Canada Post and every envelope goes out at the start of each month, typically arriving within the first week or so. I’m keeping this close to home while I get started, but who knows what the future holds.
Do you ship to the US or internationally?
Not yet — but it’s something I genuinely want to make happen. Right now Little Light House is Canada only while I get things running smoothly. US and international shipping is on the horizon and I’ll announce it when the time is right. If you’re outside Canada, keep an eye on my socials — you’ll be the first to know when that door opens.
When will my first letter arrive?
Your first envelope ships in August. Every envelope after that goes out at the start of each month and typically finds its way to your mailbox within the first week or so.
Pricing & payment
What are the plans and prices?
There are four plans to choose from. The 1 month plan is $22 a month, billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime. The 3 month plan is $59 upfront (normally $66 — founding members save 10%). The 6 month plan is $119 upfront (normally $132 — founding members save 10%). And the 12 month founding member plan is $224 upfront (normally $264 — founding members save 15%). Founding member rates are locked in for as long as you stay subscribed.
How does payment work?
The 1 month plan is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. The 3, 6, and 12 month plans are paid upfront in full — one payment, no surprises, no recurring charges mid-plan. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.
Can I cancel mid-plan?
For the 1 month plan, you can cancel anytime — no questions asked. For the 3, 6, and 12 month plans, because they’re paid upfront in full there’s nothing to cancel mid-way — your letters will keep coming until your term naturally ends. If something comes up, reach out to me directly. I’m a real person and I’ll always do my best to make things right.
What happens when my plan ends?
Your final letter arrives and that’s your term complete. I’ll be in touch to see if you’d like to keep going. No pressure, no guilt — but I’ll be secretly hoping you stay. 🤍
Founding members
What is a founding member?
The first 100 people to subscribe to any paid plan become founding members of Little Light House. As a founding member you lock in a discounted rate that stays with you for as long as you remain subscribed — even after prices go up. You also receive an exclusive founding gift tucked into your very first envelope.
What happens after all 100 founding spots are claimed?
Once all 100 founding spots are gone, the discounted rates close and new subscribers pay full price. Little Light House stays open, the founding member offer simply closes. If you’re reading this, there are still spots available — don’t wait too long.
Still have a question? I'm right here
I read every single message myself. Send me a note and I’ll get back to you personally — no bots, no automated replies. Just me.
