When you've been hoarding art pens for years and finally putting them to good use... This #babywearingfamily gave me some @ankaliatextiles fever! Beautiful Australian wraps with many designs featuring Aboriginal Art, things like that give you #secondhandpride (me being not Aussie) Thank you @fazlinmn! . . . . #babywearingart #baby #babywearing #ankaliatextiles #etch #nganana #fwcc #doublehammock #blackwork #blackink #perthbabywearers #perthcity #carrymybaby #carrythemclose #wrapyourbaby #wrapyouinlove #portraitart #monochrome #blackandwhite #calligraphy
🍦EVERYDAY IS A HOLIDAY WITH YOU🍰 Lately it's been hard to get bub up in the wrap on my back, he keeps straightening his legs or 'plank' when I try to make a seat! We babywore for survival in the beginning, but now I'm fighting to make it last before he toddles his way into independence. I eagerly waited for him to sit up (5-6 months) to be able to rucksack him properly, so I could hike around town with my 'heatpack'! Back carries takes a lot of practice and there are so many ways to carry and finish, I just hope I have enough of bub to learn the rest! . . . . . #babywearing #babywearingart #backcarry #rucksack #doublehammock #saltwaterfinish #freshwaterfinish #wovenwraps #owrapel #babysabye #ankaliatextiles #artipoppe #tekhniwovens #kokorotextiles #wovenwings #natibaby #daiesu #citylife #cityadventure #adventures #adventuretime #mothering #holiday #familybonding #gentleparenting #babyledparenting #attachmentparenting

❤LOVE IN ACTION❤ I've always been passionate about social justice, but becoming a mother that has heightened my desire to see other children and young people thrive. The Dreamer shirt I'm wearing is from Love Thread Project, a beautiful Perth social enterprise that does #education, #empowerment, #intervention and #restoration work for sex trafficking survivors and girls at risk of exploitation in Bali. I've been volunteering with the #dreamwithoutlimits team and we're aiming to raise $30k by the end of the week - were at $20k now, if we don't hit the goal we will not get a single cent pledged. Please follow the link below to learn more about it and give these girls a better future!! https://www.facebook.com/lovethreadproject startsomegood.com/lovethreadproject . . . #socialenterprise #fashionforgood #endpoverty #endexploitation #endtrafficking#girleffect #empowergirls #educationforgirls #girlpower #femaleempowerment #raisingdaughters #perthisok #loveinaction #giveback #faithinaction #rescuemission #settingcaptivesfree #freedom #ethicalfashion #fashrev #sustainable #fairtrade #supportlocal #crowdfunding #goals
Using a baby carrier instead of a pram has afforded us plenty of adventures living near the city and without a car. It's just so much more easy and I feel secure that he's strapped to me because I have a phobia of the pram tripping over and rolling away in the middle of the street. Not to mention hands free if picking up some shopping. I love babywearing and talking about it but doesn't mean I'm anti pram, and it doesn't mean it's any less safe, it's just what I feel comfortable with, and who knows maybe bub won't like being worn in a few months, so do what's best for baby and the family! . . . . #babywearing #carrythemclose #babywearinghelps #babywearingart #attachmentparenting #ringslings #wovenwraps #goodnight #sleep #baby #kangaroocare #connecta #backcarry #embrace #parenting #mothering #babycare #motherhood #maternity #perthcity #citylife

Time Stands Still
THANK YOU NAPPIES - this is not a product review, I just simply rejoice when I see a socially conscious product. A huge "Yes!" moment when I saw this in Coles! The simple monochrome branding stood out from the array of baby pinks and blues in the Baby Aisle, and having already known about Thank You and the amazing work they do, it's a no brainer for me to pick up a box. Psst.. it's also 30% off now - $23 a box. SWEET. Made River practice his modelling skills (hire him, people) to show off our buy. He was very interested in the box, and then when I got the camera, he was very interested in a potato. OK, moving on, there are many things to be happy about this box of poo-management product. ✔ Ethically made ✔ Sustainably sourced ✔ 100% profits to families in need ✔ Monochrome print AND LOOK a free poster! Every Thank You purchase also comes with a tracking ID so you can check what is the impact of your purchase. Cool hey? They are so winning me over! Such a well thought out social enterprise, if you have not chosen Thank You daily necessities in your life, do it now. https://thankyou.co/baby Once I get a chance look out for bub modelling a monochrome bum-bum on Makeshift People Insta. Happy happy happy.
I never chose #attachmentparenting as a mother, my baby chose it by being a baby, vulnerable, unable to walk, talk and to defend himself from the world, insisted that I would be by his side every second. This bond we share is magical everyday, that he would look me in the eyes and completely trust and want me. But at our weaker moments when he is not settling and refuses to sleep even breastfed or worn I feel the fiery arrows of accusations - that I created this 'habit', I'm failing from the get go. His tears are often accompanied by mine. But when the night is over, I know that I've done my very best to nurture him, and he will grow up independent and dependable, because parenting is more than how you put your baby to sleep. 😉 . . . . #babywearing #carrythemclose #babywearinghelps #babywearingart #attachmentparenting #ringslings #wovenwraps #goodnight #sleep #baby #kangaroocare #embrace #parenting #mothering #babycare #motherhood #maternity #inkdrawing #blackwork #blackink #perthbabywearers
You cannot spoil a baby, nor love your child too much. In fact to have children growing up knowing he or she is loved, and worthy of love, is what the world is deprived of. That worthiness enables a person to be true, courageous, vulnerable, kind, compassionate, giving, persevering, loving etc. A child cannot give what he has not received. So give, give, give to your baby. Carry them close, let them lean on you, let their weight your shoulders bear. these little seedlings shall became oaks of righteousness, cedars of strength.
Time is unforgiving, unyielding. Many a mother has wrestled with it, begging, pleading for time to wait, to give more, as the never-ending work of motherhood goes on and piles up - there is no ‘clocking in and out’. Even when one takes over her ‘duty’, she does not stop mothering. In all our pursuit to catch up with time, breathlessly and frantically, it is in a moment of surrender, time stops for us. “Sleep when the baby sleeps” - this advice rings dissonant to me as a mother - I try to do as much as I can when the baby sleeps, but many times it proves futile - my baby won’t sleep without me, and even if he does, I rarely achieves much that gives me rest for the day. I have learned that sometimes, I need to yield, and embrace my child. Whether simply in my arms or a carrier (they really help), in the silence, I feel time stand still, and I experience peace, knowing he is safe and that I am enough for him. Let time wait for you today! Embrace your baby <3
Makeshift People - Introduction
Dear all, From this post onwards this journal will take on a presentation to a wider audience-ship. I/we will seek to reach out/ connect to people from all walks in the topics we love and care about, and also to create art and words that will invite people to what we see, the beautiful and sometimes the unpleasing views, so together we can make it beautiful! Because the most life-changing event for me the last 2 years has been becoming a mother, naturally that is what I will focus on, but also a mother’s perspective of many other things - the way we consume daily (food, fashion, media) and the fascinating historical heritage and traditions of mothering around the world, in thriving communities, and in suffering communities. Makeshift People was an idea that I had for a creative social blog for a while, we realize all that we do in life is making shift through this pilgrimage, to love and being loved, for survival. Anything we built/ make in this life may have the illusion of permanency, but truly what is permanent is unseen, in people and in God. So while we make things, we make sure it shifts standards where people will be at the center rather than things. Thank you for reading - Jia
About a week ago we celebrated River's 1st birthday. In my worn-out mum style and general slackitude I didn't plan anything elaborate, although there was a party of some sort, in hindsight I felt we didn't celebrate enough. Days later i started journaling and I have dedicated a page for River's learnings (especially fun stuff like roaring when we say '狮子, lion' and using his spoon to feed us back. I regret not acknowledging these milestones. He grew so much, yes, but I'm more amazed at the growth in myself as a mother. Since moving to Perth 3 years ago after our wedding and having River, I've wrestled with my purpose and felt like I'm not heading anywhere. That's cuz I've not been able to see my growth and so forgetting to celebrate it. Even my 30th bday earlier this year I resisted a celebration. Today I'm promising myself to take every #celebration seriously, in #Thanksgiving and acknowledging, not just own achievements but God's #faithfulness. #professionalhomemaker #girlbossathome #irunatightshipyo #motherhood
Only 3 people in this world can put my boy to sleep - me, my husband and my mother. She is mum when I can't mum anymore. She mums me and my 6 siblings and partners and grandchild the same today, as if our mum-neediness is level toddler. She is the most mum in the world. She had 7 babies and never carried them, I don't know how she did it, we never went to daycare or had sitters. I can tell you the many amazing things she has done, it wouldn't really come close to the true picture of who she is without the background of where she came from. I just realized of all the people I know, her sacrificial love level is the most Christ-like. She was very impressed but intimidated when I showed her wrapping or ring slinging, but she eagerly said yes to Connecta. She's got problems with her knees and back but she loves wearing, because she loves my baby, and probably because she loves me just as much to lighten my load. Literally. Here she is, messy hair and house clothes, wearing her first grandchild because he needs to be carried. She will scream if she knew I showed this picture with her messy hair. But such is a mother's love, to put her babies before herself. Happy Mother's Day everyday.
