2020 pushed me to create something to support my mental health.. 

After the success of our Affirmation Discs for Kids I finally got around to creating a set just for Mums! Well.. A set for me.. Walking into the unknown world of homeschooling and permanently being at home made me feel it was important to create accessible tools to help me maintain my sanity, forgive myself for my mistakes and TRY and be at least an OK Mum to my kids. 

They won't resonate with everyone, but if you do your mothering with a lot of humour, sarcasm, meltdowns (me, not the kids) and good intentions then these are the tools for you!

Measuring 6cm and made from 3mm premium ply, our discs consist of the top 36 messages I need to tell myself grouped together on a large ring:

Dear Coffee/Tea/Wine, I LOVE YOU
REMINDER STOP! Take a breath.
REPEAT Strong willed child/children will rule the world.
What is my vice? EAT IT DRINK IT DO IT
REMINDER I am her/his/their world. To her/him/them I am perfect.

Due to the handmade nature of these products and as they are made out of plywood, there may be slight unique characteristics from product to product. These are not considered faults.

Not suitable for little teethers. Keep out of reach of children.
