Happy Mother's Day!

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all well!

As you know it was Mother's Day yesterday and I hope you all had a terrific day and spent quality time with your loved ones.

Mothers are such important people. Yesterday really got me thinking about everything I have endured as a mother so far and all that has changed due to becoming one.
My priorities have all changed and the things I use to do, I know longer want to do! I believe being a mother is the most important job in the world!

Us mothers are our child's doctor, lawyer, accountant, friend and even enemy and we do all this with nothing but unconditional love. That love comes from the first moment you see your child and all you want to do is protect and nurture. I am grateful that I am able to experience this kind of love and I know all my hard work will ensure that my son grows into someone who will want to give back to the world!

I recently watched a documentary on BBC1 about the rapper and music producer, Will I Am and was brought to tears by the way he spoke of his mother and grandmother and the love he truly possesses for his family. He said without his mother and grandmother, he would not be the man he is today and he would never have achieved the things that he has been able to achieve. Their love and encouragement is the only reason he is a successful man today and is able to give back to the youth!

I pray that when my son is older that he can look at me and speak about me in exactly the same way Will spoke of his mother and grandmother. His mother was strict but she said this was because she did not want him to join a gang and become a nobody! She knew he was destined for better things!

 

Love your children and teach them that dreams can come true and that no dream is too big! I want all you mums to know you are doing such a great job and your hard work is not being unnoticed!

Your children are amazing and with your love they will become amazing adults too!

 

And for those of you that are expecting your first child, do not be scared and know that you will become a great mother!

Mini Men UK has an attitude of gratitude!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well!

So I have some amazing news! I have received a letter from Kensington Palace thanking me for sending my 'Born to be King' Baby Grow which is inspired by Prince George!

Available to buy at www.minimenuk.com

 The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did not write to me directly however the letter has originated from Kensington Palace. I am absolutely elated that I have received a response!

I originally wanted to make the baby grow for young boys to make them feel as special as Royalty as this is how every mother feels about their child when he is born, small and precious! And as the nation was celebrating the birth of Prince George, the idea came to me to create this positive baby grow.

So the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge actually gave me a 'Thumbs up' is absolutely fantastic!
I am ever so grateful to them for even taking the time to send me this letter!

I am clearly on the right path in terms of my designs! This particular baby grow is sold at The Tomorrow Store in Moorgate which is The Prince's Trust Shop and I have just had a request for more  as it seems to be quite popular!

This great news has given me the push I needed to commence on building my business and advance on my journey to reaching my goals I have set for 2014!

As I am now on track, I have been concentrating on creating new products that are great quality and affordable! I had some fabric especially made with my designs on it and I have been spending my evenings making baby shoes and bibs for my Spring/Summer 2014 collection.

The new products will be available on the Mini Men UK website by next week and I will be selling them at Portobello Market and The Children's Trust Easter Fair! Definitely looking forward to showcasing my products and getting feedback from my customers!

I hope you all have an amazing evening and remember to always have an attitude of gratitude! You never know which Royal will be writing to you!

I don't have dreams, I have goals!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are well and starting to get that Friday feeling!

Recently I have been thinking about the many things I would like to achieve. I have been studying successful females such as Oprah Winfrey, Kimora Lee Simmons, Victoria Beckham and Vivienne Westwood and they all have similarities in the way they have become successful. Successful people set themselves goals and find ways to achieve them in order to be successful. Once they are achieved, they then set more goals and achieve those too!

So I sat down and made a list of all the things I have dreamt about. Growing up, I always wanted to live abroad, own my home, have a family and run a successful business. I would dream of how my life would be at age 35, age 40 and age 45 and I can honestly say, my life looks fantastic at these ages! I believed that all you had to do was dream and believe and your dreams would come true.

But now I know that in order for your dreams to become true, you have to work hard! You have to think about your dreams and then set small goals in order to achieve the big dream!

Staying motivated and believing in yourself are the main attributes you need in order to be successful and even though I am still only really starting my journey to success, I feel that I will meet each and everyone of my goals and live that lifestyle that I want for myself and my family. Don't get me wrong, there are days when I feel down and feel like I am not progressing. There are days when I want to give up and just go and get a full time job so that I have regular money coming in. But then I think, that is not my dream and in the words of Lupita Nyong'o:

I absolutely adore this young lady and watching her performance in 12 years a slave was just breath taking and she completely deserved to win her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress! And the fact that she has been able to achieve so much at such a young age, really motivates me to do something incredible with my life! Lupita I salute you!

So I will continue to work on my clothing brand, Mini Men UK which is now being sold at The Prince's Trust shop- The Tomorrow Store in Moorgate, London.

You can also take advantage of Mini Men UK's sale which is currently taking place on our website www.minimenuk.com

Hope everyone has an amazing dream and remember to set your goals and achieve!
