  • Children's book titled 'The Duck Who Couldn't Eat Snails' by Anneliese Michelmore and Noor Zaki, displayed on a wooden easel next to a vase with dried flowers.

    "This is such a great book to teach children about allergies. I will be recommending to all of my parent friends!!"

    Dani K

  • Books and greeting cards on display in a store with floral arrangements nearby.

    “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 T

  • 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."

I've been reflecting on the last couple of weeks where I've felt genuinely tapped out. Tapped out from the kids. Tapped out from work. Tapped out by life's demands. I've also had some personal things I've been dealing with that have taken a lot out
I've been reflecting on the last couple of weeks where I've felt genuinely tapped out. Tapped out from the kids. Tapped out from work. Tapped out by life's demands. I've also had some personal things I've been dealing with that have taken a lot out of me emotionally. It's meant that a lot of my Prose & Fable business energy has been lacking. What I've come to realise, though, is that it's okay. It's okay I've barely posted on social media and haven't actively been a cheerleader for my beautiful story. I haven't actively pursued wholesale opportunities or meticulously worked on my website. I haven't even updated my finance spreadsheet! Instead of beating myself up about it, I have given myself the grace to sit in the "not doing." I'm taking a well needed break and will be back with a vengeance in a few days ✌🏻 #smallbusiness #tappedout #smallbusinessowner #author #mumlife #mum #raisingkids

Happy Mother's Day 🧡 Becoming a mum myself gave me a whole new perspective on my own mums journey through motherhood. She taught me lots of things that I hope to impart to my own children, including: 🍂 A love for gardening and growing your own food 🍂 A love of music (I'm pretty sure I knew every single Kiss song by the age of 6) 🍂 A love of learning and reading 🍂 She showed me what it was to work hard 🍂 She encouraged me to reach for the stars 🍂 We always ate dinner at the table, and you shouldn't wear shoes inside... ...I mean, these are just the tip of the iceberg. So thank you, mum, for always being my sounding board, for being just a phone call away, and for all those years of helping me to grow and learn. I love you 🧡
One year ago, it felt like a lifetime ago. We've gone through so much over the past year. I'm so thankful for all the support from family and friends over this time. #allergyawareness #anaphylaxis #allergyinclusion #author #mumlife #mum #momlife #glutenfree #baby #childhood
