One simple change can shift your whole perspective. 💭

“You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.” – Gusteau, Ratatouille 🍲✨

How often do we, as parents, carry self-limiting beliefs without even realising it? Maybe it’s thinking we’re not patient enough, not creative enough, or not doing “enough.” But what if the only thing standing in our way is the story we keep telling ourselves?

What is the self-limiting belief you feel is holding you back the most in your parental journey? 💬

With love,
Laura 💕

✨ Did you know your baby’s cells can live inside you for decades? 💫
Microchimerism — the hidden cellular connection between mother and child — shows that motherhood is more than love… it’s biology. 💖
Isn’t it amazing to think a part of your baby is still with you, wherever you go? 🌿

Love, Laura xx

✨ Ever catch yourself replaying moments where you wish you’d handled things differently as a parent? You’re not alone. 💛

This journey isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about learning, growing, and showing up with love (for your kids and yourself). Letting go of who we think we “should” be makes space for who we are becoming.

So maybe today, we can take Po’s advice: “You gotta let go of that stuff from the past, because it just doesn’t matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.” 🐼

How do you remind yourself to let go of the pressure to be the “perfect” parent? 💬

Love,

Ever feel like early parenthood is a bit of a haunted house (or maybe a bit more)? 👻
You tiptoe through the nights, every sound a worry, every shadow a “what if…” — and somehow, you keep showing up anyway. 💛

Swipe through for a few gentle reminders — and one simple trick that can help you both breathe easier: baby massage. 💆‍♀️
Those quiet, tender moments of touch don’t just calm your baby — they help you slow down and feel safe, too.

What helps you calm your “haunted house” thoughts on the tough days? I’d love to hear in the comments. 💬

Love,
Laura xx

🦁 What if bravery, for our kids, looks quieter than we expect? 🦁

"I'm only brave when I have to be. Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble." – Mufasa, The Lion King

Sometimes, true courage is found in the small moments — asking for help, standing up for a friend, or simply trying again after a tough day.

What if we redefined bravery — not as something loud, but something deeply personal?

Love, Lauraxx

What was the first food that made your baby’s face unforgettable? 😆

Babies actually experience flavours way more intensely than we do — which explains all those hilarious expressions at mealtime. 💛

✨ What if our kids are more capable than we’ve ever imagined? ✨

“What, are you saying that because he’s a sloth he can’t be fast? I thought in Zootopia anyone could be anything.” – Nick Wilde, Zootopia

This quote gently reminds us to stay open — to the surprises, strengths, and uniqueness in our children. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do as parents is to believe in them without limits, even when the world sees something different.

How might it feel to simply stay curious about who they’re becoming?

Love, Lauraxx
