Can you wear a feeling? How a 3am wake up inspired our new babywear collection

After another 3am wake up with my little girl, I lay awake next to her as she settled, overwhelmed by the total love of being her mum, balanced with the overwhelm of being her mum too.

An impossible place to be maybe? Can anyone else relate?

I wondered one day if she will choose to take her own journey into motherhood...

I wondered how will I be able to help her in those moments at 3am when I won't be there and she may feel the same... exhausted, lost and a little overwhelmed?

The next day I wrote her a letter from mum to daughter, it was therapeutic for me to try to help her in her future.

I felt like I was helping both her and me in that same moment to be honest, and I ended with a reminder for her for those long nights...

You're doing great, love Mum x.

I looked over at the bed and saw a muslin I'd used to wipe her spilled drink and it came to me...

A muslin has always been my go to for a comforter, swaddle, spills and cuddles...and what better way to remind her she's doing great...with something she will carry with her all day, reach for on a long late night, and hopefully be a bit of light in those hazy moments of mumhood. 

So with a simple photograph, a bit of tech learning, printing and trial and error, I created something magical to save for her should she ever like it, a beautiful printed muslin with my handwritten message. 

It's my own special way to be there to support to her, even if I can't be there in person.

She can reach for it whenever she needs it, and have a constant reminder of my love and belief in her.

Knowing there will be mums, sisters, friends, grandparents and more out there feeling the same, I really wanted to find a way for you all to be able to create your own personalised gifts too with your own special messages to share with your loved ones.

So that was the catalyst for our new collection, Written with Love, you too can now create your own magical memories into timeless keepsake gifts to be worn and used with love. 

There are our all our award-winning organic babywear and muslins to choose from for your design, and wall prints too. 

A simple photograph is all you need! I'm so excited to bring this to you and cannot to bring your gifts to life for you.
