RAFFLE

We have some absolutely amazing raffle prices for our raffle this year!

This year I've gone for a slightly off topic charity, but the Toy Library is such an amazing local little resource that I really wanted to support them. If you haven't heard of them yet then do go and check them out.

It is a place you can take your babies and toddlers to play with and borrow toys. They are a Toy Lending Service, with SEN Equipment Hire, Party Hire and Soft Play. I've loved taking my little ones there over the years!

If you'd like some raffle tickets to win one of these awesome prizes, then head over to the Mark's Tey Village hall on May 31st and buy some!

REFRESH

It is very important to stay fed and watered when you are pregnant or you have a new baby, so don't worry, we've got you covered!

will be supplying some very delicious snacks, treats and lunches! She always makes sure to cover food intolerance's, so there will be vegan and gluten free options available.

I can attest to how yummy her food is, as Sam has catered a few of my events now. She is a mum herself and gets how important it is to seek the right support ❤

Introducing....

With just one week to go I thought I should introduce myself!

I’m Maria, owner of Beautiful Bonds and organiser of Bump to What Now?!

My main passion is babywearing, and making sure all parents have the correct knowlegde and confidence to wear their baby’s safely.

But my other passion is helping parents and businesses to find each other and get the support they need. Because everyone deserves a village of support!

I am a mum to 4 very different boys, wife to the very patient Matt and daughter of Mary (my ever constant volunteer!). I began my adult life as a research scientist, but after having my eldest I knew I wanted to get into the baby world and support.

I am a breastfeeding councillor, am a hypnobirthing teacher, have doula training and worked on maternity wards and in the community, so I've well and truly embraced my change of career!

I can't wait to bring this event to you again, I'll be camped at the door selling raffle tickets and welcoming you into the space I've created, so make sure to say hi!

BUILD

If you come along on Saturday 31st May, you will get the chance to BUILD your village.

People say "you need a village to raise a child" for a reason. We weren't meant to do this alone.

So come along and meet a variety of local professionals who can support you through this special phase of your life. You'll find a warm welcome and lots of information.

From antenatal classes, to birth support and support with baby, right up to parent and baby classes! We've got you and we're ready to welcome you ❤

And as I like to say, not everything will work for you, but take what will and leave the rest behind.

Introducing...

Tamsin from .by.tamsin!

"I’m Tamsin, a cook, doula and infant feeding coach (AKA breastfeeding counsellor), as well as parent to an 18-year-old. I’ve had a long creative career in food (including working with Delia Smith), have written several cookbooks and created hundreds of comforting and nutritious recipes, which I can now bring to your home via my batch cooking service Nourished By Tamsin.

I started supporting new parents and families as a volunteer with NCT when my son was young, helping others through this life-changing transition. Knowing just how hard it can be, especially if you don’t have much local support, becoming a doula felt like a natural calling and something that marries perfectly with my love of nourishing people through home-cooked food.

How good does it sound to have delicious, nutritious food on hand, with the burden of daily meal prep lifted while you settle into life with your new baby – or any time when you don’t have the time or energy to cook? I’ll come to you and rustle up 6 recipes to fill the fridge and freezer, prepared to your personal requirements (including dietary needs).

Find out more by visiting .by.tamsin and come and meet me at the Bump to What Now?! event"

Thanks Tamsin, we can't wait to see you there!
