    “A wonderful book to raise awareness and understanding of food allergies, including helping children appreciate of some of the challenges faced by someone with an allergy. This important message is delivered in a fun way, with a rhyming story and bright"

    Emilie Tunstill

  • Child reading "The Duck Who Couldn't Eat Snails" book by a window.

    “This simple message illustrates how allergies impact a child and what they might miss out on. It's not just about missing out; it's about the fear of getting hurt if they aren't careful."

    Rowena

  • Open children's book page with an illustration of a green duck on water and text about eating preferences. A wooden duck figurine and decorative round wooden beads are in the background.

    “This heartwarming book is perfect for helping children understand the challenges of food allergies, whether they affect a sibling, friend, or family member. With its relatable duck character and beautiful illustrations, it promotes empathy, awareness, and inclusion."

    Samedy Ng

The new website is live!! There are still a few fixes I need to make and a few more things to add in, but I'm loving the new feel of it. Also, did you know The Duck Who Couldn't Eat Snails was stocked in so many places already! I actually couldn't believe it when I was updating the list! Let me know your thoughts on my new website. . . #smallbusiness #websitedevelopment #websitelaunch #soletrader #businessmum #businessowners

Tomorrow is International Womens Day. Now, I can spend time telling you about how the inequalities for women still exist in today's society, but instead - let's celebrate women in business! So, tag any woman led business in this post to show our support and admiration for those hard-working women! We've still got a long way to go as a society for equality in this space, but together, we can achieve this! #women #internationalwomensday #womenempoweringwomen #womeninspiringwomen #womeninbiz #womeninbusiness #mumlife #entrepreneur

My littlest love had her first surgery last week (she's totally fine), but I've been so tapped out this past week and it made me think about other mums who might be in and out of hospital with their little babe's. If this is you, I'm sending you big love ❤️ And to all the amazing paediatric staff, you are all superheros. The treatment my baby and I received was more than exceptional. So much care and consideration from them all 🥰 . . #mumlife #mums #mumssupportingmums #hospital #surgery #momlife #mom #paediatrics

What an inspirational group of women I met yesterday. It's always so lovely to meet someone in person who you've been communicating with for months, which is exactly what happened yesterday. I left that catch-up totally inspired and with my cup filled with beautiful stories and conversation. The lovely Lisa from @little.paws.plushies summed it up so nicely; self-published authors are creating stories that are laden in personal experiences, making them truly unique. Go check out their pages, cos they all have some wonderful stories to share: @little.paws.plushies @the_tunstill_tales @victoria_marrs_writes @the.playground.diaries @nissa__rae @the_imaginary_place_author @richellemc.author @deborah_tapfield_artist @alicianunn @the_moon_garden I can't wait for our next catch-up!!

I've recently shipped off a big wholesale order and thought to myself, I wonder how many books I've sold now 🤔 OVER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY!!! I am blown away by the support and love for this book. This doesn't even consider books out on consignment currently or books I've sent off or books given away and donated. It's only been six months since I first released my first book, and slowly, it's building momentum. Running a small business as a side hustle is no easy feat, but I love the journey! New Blog Post is coming out soon!!

Gluten Free Double Choc Muffins 😍 I love baking with the kids, and it's something we try and do regularly. Today was especially special because we had the go-ahead to start moving up the egg ladder. For those of you who might not know, an allergy ladder can be used to slowly increase the amount of an allergen consumed through a series of steps. Step one is where we are, which is baking two eggs into 12 muffins. We started off with a double chocolate chip cos my kids are chocolate fiends. These muffins were exceptionally tasty! If you have any tasty savoury muffin options, please send them my way. I can adapt them if they aren't GF, and I need recommendations!! . . #glutenfree #glutenfreefood #chocolate #allergylife #allergyawareness #eggladder #allergyinclusion #mumlife #momlife #baking
