- How would you best describe yourself?
Encouraging, enthusiastic, a thinker
- What are three things you love most about being a mumma?
The patience it teaches, the joy of their little minds, the miracle they are
- What are three things that inspire you everyday?
Sunrises and sunsets each day
The freedom to be who I am
The wonderful people I meet
- What have been the best lessons your little one has taught you so far?
One step at a time
Deep breaths
Tickling still makes us all laugh
- What is your favourite Lullaby product and why?
SPF 50+ for delicate skin - we burn easily so it’s brilliant to know it’s covering us in the sun with beautiful ingredients
- Any valuable advice to new mummas?
Don’t listen to advice- you know your bub better than anyone so trust yourself and be kind- it’s not about being the perfect mother but being the mother that loves and takes time for herself and her family x
