Please baby, don't ever change.

Please baby, don't ever change.

Little love,

Please don’t ever change. The world needs you just as you are…

Eyes that sparkle and melt your mummy’s heart.

A smile that wraps around your chubby cheeks for no reason other than being.

A body that beats, and moves and breathes, and is perfect just the way it is.

A mind that’s already so creative and bold and strong that it has and will go on to impact so many lives as it expresses its unique talents, gifts and abilities.

A spirit that inherently knows what it is here to do, and has all the answers of the universe weaved into it.

My darling, know that you never need to change.

Keep seeing the world through new and fresh and curious eyes.

Know that while you will grow, you don’t have to grow ‘up’ and into society’s belief of what you ‘should’ be.

Protect that inner knowingness that anything and everything is possible – that you are a limitless being with power that can only be expanded into endless potential towards the things that speak to you the most.

Cherish your imagination as it will go on to manifest all your dreams into reality.

And while your forms of communication may evolve, my precious baby, please always make sure you continue to ask for what you need.

Trust yourself, just as you do now.

Remember that peace, and happiness and connection are not things ‘out there’ but always are and will be within you. You have access to this space at any time.

And like you inherently know, never forget that being is more important than doing.

My babe, the essence of you is so perfectly orchestrated by Mother Nature.

So don’t ever change…the world needs you just as you are. You’re are a flawless miracle, who’s reach is destined to go far.

The rain is torrential outside, but I can still hear you call my name - mama. You’ve woken up with a fright, either a bad dream, too dark, too hot, sore teeth, a night terror - always the guessing game, but all that matters in this moment is yo

This is what I need right now. Ten minutes of reading Glennon Doyle in front of the fire with a @redsealnz relaxing tea, because I’ve been wound up today over a few things. I know I go on about self-care in motherhood & it’s something
All the feels today, but most importantly, this day is a celebration of my daughter turning five and starting school. I felt an ache in my heart this morning at how she has grown into such an independent and brave little being. Then I read this and r
You may feel you haven’t achieved anything big today. The washing may have piled up and the dishes too. But just for a moment, let go. Let go of the pressure and the heaviness you feel, from both external and internal places. Let go of expectat
Your world is often chaotic, gloriously chaotic, and can be hard to cut through the noise. But listen to the whispers of your intuition before they are silenced. Trust yourself that you know best. You have an authentic inner knowing when it comes to
Postpartum is hard. It’s wonderful but it’s also hard. A lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Through one of the most exhausting, soul touching and challenging moments of my life I suddenly have another soul that is completely re
