Mum juggling running a business with the school holidays

When I started this business, I didn’t realize just how many hats I’d end up wearing. Designer. Maker. Photographer. Customer service. Accountant. Website manager. Social media manager. Marketing department. Order packer. Cleaner. Stock controller... and somewhere in between all of that, Mum. Most days, it’s just me. My husband helps where he can, and I’m incredibly grateful for that support. But day-to-day, the business is mine. Every decision, every product, every late-nigh

Step 1: Your Order Lands in My Inbox The first thing I do is check all of your personalisation details. I make sure names, dates, colours, and spellings are exactly as you've requested. Since every item is made to order, I take time to double-check everything before I begin creating your keepsake. Being a family business and juggling mum life, I sometimes have little helpers. Step 2: Preparing Your Design Next, I set up your personalised design, ready for production. Whether

The first day of school is one of those magical moments that seems to arrive in the blink of an eye. One minute you're holding their tiny hand as they take their first steps, and the next you're waving them off through the school gates with a backpack almost as big as they are. As parents, we all wish we could slow time down. While we can't stop our children from growing, we can capture the moments that matter most and create memories we'll treasure forever. A Tradition You'l

As the end of the school year approaches, many parents start thinking about teacher gifts and ways to say thank you to the teachers who have supported their children throughout the year. Having organised group teacher gifts for my children's year groups over the last few years, I've discovered that pooling contributions together can be one of the best ways to create meaningful teacher thank you gifts without breaking the bank. Teachers Water Bottles The Problem with Tradition

If you've ever opened a kitchen cupboard and had three packets of pasta fall on your head, or spent twenty minutes searching for your child's favourite toy that was "definitely put away", then you're my kind of person. As a mum, business owner, and someone who genuinely loves a good organising session, I know how quickly life can get chaotic. Between school runs, work, family life, and everything else on our never-ending to-do lists, keeping our homes organised can sometimes

When I first looked at the xTool P2, I’ll be honest — I didn’t rush into it. It’s a big investment, especially when you’re running a small business and every decision has to make sense not just creatively, but financially too. I wasn’t looking for something “nice to have”… I needed something that would actually help me grow. Now that I’ve been using it properly in my business, I feel like I can give a real, honest review based on day-to-day use, not just first impressions. So

The last few weeks haven’t quite gone to plan… As a small business owner, you get used to juggling a lot. But nothing really prepares you for managing your business while dealing with ongoing health issues. I have a rare condition called subglottic stenosis. Over the past seven years, I’ve had multiple procedures to help manage it — most recently, a balloon dilation (my eighth). Normally, recovery is straightforward. I am in and out in a day. But just a couple of days after s

Birthdays are those magical days when we get to celebrate life, love, and all the little moments that make us smile. But let’s be honest - sometimes, the usual decorations and store-bought cakes just don’t cut it. That’s where custom birthday decor steps in to save the day! One of my absolute favourite ways to add that extra sparkle? Custom cake toppers. They’re like the cherry on top of a perfect birthday celebration.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day 🤍 I’ve been thinking about the women who shaped me — the ones who loved me first, guided me, challenged me, and showed me what strength really looks like. To our mums and nans — the quiet resilience, the sacrifices we didn’t always see, the unconditional love that built the foundation of who we are. To the teachers and mentors who saw something in us before we saw it in ourselves — who pushed us to think bigger, speak louder, and stand

Why Corporate Gifting Matters More Than Ever Let’s be honest – corporate gifts can sometimes feel like a tick-box exercise. Ordered in a rush. Logo slapped on. Job done. But when it’s done well? It’s powerful. A thoughtful gift can boost team morale, strengthen client relationships and quietly reinforce your brand in the loveliest way. It’s not really about the thing – it’s about the feeling behind it. You know when you receive something and you can tell someone’s actually t
