This guy has made today all the more breathable. I’m so lucky to have our two beautiful babies here. Safe inside. It’s all we have to do to keep safe just #stayinside - so many families would love to have a simple choice like this ❤️ ps I just heard my husband say to our daughter in the bath ‘Elle would you like another little brother or sister or are you happy with just Cruz?’ Ummm @teddyfitzgerald I’d like to be the person you discuss this with first please 🤣 🙂 I love this role of mama though. It’s my favorite yet. ❤️

What does a working from home mum with kids need? Everything. You need everything. ⁣⁣
⁣
Chocolate, a chef, a cleaner... just kidding 😜 but one thing I know you can eliminate the need of is a nanny or sore arms with The⁣ SNOO from @happiest_baby ⁣⁣
⁣
The SNOO has changed our life having two under two! This smart bassinet senses when your baby is unsettled and uses a calming white noise with gentle rocking that mimics the rhythm in your womb. I have more time for my toddler. I have a well rested newborn which results in really good night sleep which felt like I’d never have a month ago and which means I’m a happy mama too with more time to eliminate the need of a chef or cleaner too because my hands are free, in fact I haven’t even worn a carrier inside our home yet because #SNOOnation has got it going onnn 🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
A common question asked today was weaning them from it but remember how it’s a #smartbassinet? It’s got an app with a ‘weaning’ setting you can select and it’ll wean them from it for you! 🙌🏼 brb ⁣time to go enjoy⁣ that chocolate while the baby falls asleep.⁣

Today hurts. This little boy your looking at; Foxx Fitzgerald should be three today. 🎈 despite him leaving this world before we could take him home I still have never comprehended this as something that ‘was meant to happen’. I truly believe that in the brink of contracting #groupbstrep the healthcare system failed him. That he should be here.⁣
.

There was a nationwide blood shortage in which he needed a transfusion urgently but had to wait, there was doctors with different strategies to help him fight the bacteria but each change was the difference between life or death until eventually that was our ending. The one we dreaded most. ⁣The last kiss had at three days old.
⁣
It’s dawned on me that so many families are feeling the same right now globally. They feel failed, they feel scared and they’ll look back one day at all those they loved that passed feeling heartbreak that their time shouldn’t have been just yet. ⁣I pray for them today as I think of our little Foxx🦊.
⁣
In honor of #forfoxx I still encourage you between today and Sunday to phone a blood donation centre and donate blood. The nation needs it more than ever. @lifebloodau do. I understand your scared to leave the house. I am too. You have a right to phone them and ask how they’ll be ensuring they protect you. Believe me — they do want to protect you and themself. When you donate please ask them to tally it against blood donation group ‘For Foxx’ in honour of him. This gift is free 🎈 (see link in bio for more info). ⁣
⁣
I understand though that this year is different. In three short years I might be sitting here without my three year old but I have a two year old and three month old who have helped my heart flutter when it feels like it could shatter in two. ⁣ ⁣
Happy Birthday Foxx. We will always act in honour of you. I wish you could be here right now. I wish I could cuddle you alongside the other two 🦋

Millions of people have been stood down from their jobs but it doesn’t mean influencers should voluntarily stand down too. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I get it, you still can’t comprehend how being an influencer is a job. You think it’s unfair they get to just take a photo, upload it and make money (if only it was a simple photo) 🙈 influencers are like the car salesman trying to sell you are car while trying to keep the best price to support their family with food on the table while also delivering you the best content and products they believe you are interested in! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Influencers right now are IMPORTANT so please don’t tell them to stop working just because millions others have to. Their hours have already been cut too with many jobs cancelled. What they are sharing is what is helping many businesses stay afloat in this time of crisis. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Aside from the work most are the smile on your face, the distraction to your day or the information that is important you seek. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Please equally support their paid posts and branded content because our economy needs you too and I know the hearts of many influencers are hurting when they receive messages telling them they should stand down too some of which who are now the sole breadwinners of their families after their partners have lost their jobs or their extended family needs extra financial support. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are all doing the best we can in this bad situation but please make influencers feel important, paid posts and normal content. We genuinely love you and that includes the individuals just trying to keep their online stores afloat, those now working from home and trying to juggle entertaining kids too and those who have lost their jobs struggling, we are online and here for you. ❤️ ⁣
