The Best Bum

It’s been a hot minute! 🥵Or ten 🙈

Life threw my little family some decent curveballs just two weeks before my littlest one joined us earth side.

These last 7 months have been one helluva ride!

But we’re here and looking forward to 2023! Here are a few snaps from the last few months, featuring the only two cloth nappies anybody has worn in the last 12 months at my house 🤙🏼

Some sage advice from a fellow mum in biz down here in the Bay of Plenty ❤️

I know this tyke round I’ll be doing as much as I can to help the recovery process 🙌🏽

Thanks for sharing your insights Emily!

When it comes to postnatal recovery, we tend to think a bit of mums and bubs Pilates, and that's if recovery is even considered at all (gotta love the kiwi "she'll be right" approach 🤦)

There is so much more you can do to support yourself in the fourth trimester and beyond. Implementing a few simple things can really help to maximize recovery and prevent ongoing problems.

Check out this blog that talks about ways other than core exercises that promote recovery. Share with your mum and mum-to-be friends 😍

Would love to hear below your experience with all of this 😊

This is what my self care looks like this morning. Our little family has a lot going on and a lot to process right now! I’m refuelling in the peaceful bustle at .papamoa so I can be at my best to support and nurture and nourish my whānau ❤️

What does your self care look like today?

Let me know if you find this helpful, or if you've already started cloth, would you agree?

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there, whatever 'type' of mum you may be

In light of Mother's Day tomorrow here in NZ, I've written a few words about my own journey into motherhood.

Perhaps this may inspire you to also spend some moments reflecting in your own journey, and what motherhood and matresence mean to you.

Where would we be without them? Thanks to all the women (and men!) out there looking after us pregnant mummas, especially during this crazy Covid time!

Special shout out to my midwife Cara at Leading Midwifery Care

Happy Earth Day 2022!
Remember not to get too caught up in 'doing everything perfectly' or overwhelmed with the state of the whole world!

Focus on what you can do - as much as one change a day makes a world of difference.

Kate Meads, one of NZs OG cloth nappy advocates, shares some awesome facts!

She holds waste free parenting workshops online as well as at local community centres across the country! Highly recommend attending one, not only do you get a sweet goody bag but you also walk away with a lot of knowledge and inspiration!

A very interesting fact around cloth nappies. We often forget that our disposable nappies are ending up in our landfills... Its amazing the difference we could make if we just used one cloth nappy a day!
