September 13, 2010Please forgive the lateness of this blog, and accept my apology along with this audacious plug.
The apology and the plug are in fact closely related. You see, I have entered the overpopulated world of the entrepreneurial stay-at-home mum, and it has consumed me.
I considered glitzing over the cheekiness of this pathetic pitch, and masking this marketing in the body of a creative and distracting collection of words - but it all seemed too obvious.
So here it is, laid out stark and exposed: my brand, Monkey & Mum.
In the last year my little family - a beautiful partner, a fluffy pooch and two self-assertive felines - were blessed with another addition... little Harry (at least this presumptuous plug is not totally unrelated to the title of this blog page!).
Whilst I embraced all the changes that the sweet smelling bundle of rolls brought into my life, there was one that I struggled with: the inability to wear my much loved jewellery!
Attempts to do so resulted in bead indentations in my chest from an all too snugly bubba, and a floor full of stray beads that had suffered the merciless tug of ten surprisingly strong podgy baby fingers.
Combine this with an inability to keep my inquisitive baby focused during his breast feeds and you have the story behind how and why I created Monkey & Mum.
Monkey & Mum is a collection of interesting and unique pieces which are soft, washable, and made from entirely natural products... they are designed for mums, but can be worn by anyone!
Please check out my necklaces and bracelets at: www.monkeyandmum.etsy.com
I promise I will never use Harry's page for such a shameless promotion again.
