I often find myself overwhelmed with so much gratitude for all the experiences my blog has brought my way. But more than that, for the lovely moms who I have had the pleasure of collaborating with on a creative level and who have trusted me to add value to their brands. I love how our community of mommy bloggers and mom-owned businesses has grown so much over the years and, I feel honoured to have crossed paths with such a diverse and creative bunch of women.

When a group of creative souls join forces something truly magical happens : Competition is left at the door and we make way for empowerment! We build each other up, help each other’s businesses grow and learn from one another. There’s just no room for competitiveness anymore. I truly feel that those days are behind us.

So when my friend Angi Whittle (the talented girl behind the lens of many of my blog’s photo’s) and I sat down a few weeks ago discussing ways we could offer my readers a chance to win a photo shoot with her, we began brainstorming ways we could get some other creatives involved. With Easter just around the corner I had a lightbulb moment : An Easter inspired photo shoot with Hunter sporting some of my favourite brand’s latest ranges. I wanted to showcase their beautiful garments in a cute lifestyle feature that would hopefully show all you mamas just how gorgeous these pieces are.

And I think we pulled it off!!  Before we go any further I would like to thank each brand who has contributed to this little project and who have made it possible: Monkey Bum, Katkin & Co, Rosiebee Children’s Clothing, Maddon and Cole, Lullaby Rock, Squiggle and Squeak, Blankets From Africa, Ginger Ray, Design Store, Pure Sweet Joy and Vida Nova Co. Ladies, you are so brilliant at what you do. Not only do you run homes and parent your broods, you wake up each and every day to a job that requires loads of passionate dedication. I know it’s no easy task, even on a good day. For that, I salute you!!

And special thank to the beautifully talented Angi Whittle!

So without further ado, here are some snaps of our photo shoot earlier this week. Now remember guys there’s a HUGE prize up for grabs so keep reading!
