From organising the venue to all the little details, the main purpose of planning and styling Kiaara’s second birthday party was to give her parents a stress-free celebration and a memorable day, while also bringing Kiaara’s favorite character to life—Baby Moana. 🥰

They arrived alongside their guests and were able to fully enjoy the celebration, and most importantly, make beautiful memories with their little girl without having to worry about anything else. ✨🥳

We specialise in creating unforgettable kids’ birthday parties and would love to help make your celebration extraordinary too! 🎉

You probably noticed that we have been sharing a bit about our Mini Giants journey here in the past few days.

So I thought I should also introduce myself, as I’m the one behind pretty much everything that happens here, and it’s been a while since the last time I did it.

If you don’t know me yet, my name is Rafaela 😊

I am originally from the countryside of Brazil and I have been living in Australia for the past 8 years.

Today, I can finally and proudly say that I’m a permanent resident, on my way towards Australian citizenship. What a long and challenging process. 😮‍💨

I started Mini Giants as a painting hiring business, which initially was just a side hustle.

At that time, I was working in a strata company and I remember feeling like I was trading my time for money, and that didn’t feel right for me. 🫠

I wanted to dedicate more time to my family, feel more fulfilled in life, and I had always desired to have my own business. 💭

I made the decision to leave my 9-5 job and fully commit to growing Mini Giants. Treating it as a side hustle would have kept it that way forever.

My first workshops were not that great, I can’t even compare our beginning with what we offer to our clients today.

But it was thanks to this not-so-good beginning that today we are recognized as a reference for kids’ birthday parties, offering the best and most unique experience.

This process of evolution is so painful and so beautiful at the same time. 😵‍💫🤩🥴🥳🤡🥹 Literally a roller coaster. 😅

Competence, excellence, and authority in what we do are built over time, with a lot of consistency and patience, but it is just so rewarding when we finally reach that point. 🥹⭐️

December last year I went through my toughest time of running Mini Giants and it was during that time that I found my faith in God again after longing for it for so long. That’s why I chose this song for this post, which I can relate so much. ✨

Also to all dads that have to be mums too.

A year of growth, big challenges, and achievements 🌟

This year I completely stepped out of my comfort zone.

I had a look into my goals for Mini Giants for 2023 several times through the year, always looking to move forward with what was written in there.

And I am proud to say that many have been achieved!

These ones mentioned in the pictures above, but also:

💛 We’ve built meaningful connections:

The people I’ve had the privilege to work with and connect with through delivering our workshops and services.

The parents and Mini Giants that have stick to us in our school holidays through the year.

The families we’ve got to be with in their children birthday celebrations.

The businesses that we’ve worked and connected with.

Collaboration, open communication, and a shared commitment to excellence have been the driving forces behind our success at Mini Giants and it will continue to do so in 2024.

💡 Continuous learning:

I dedicated myself to staying curious, seeking out unique services and workshops for our mini giants and staying abreast of industry trends.

🙏 Gratitude, spirituality and appreciation:

My heart is filled with gratitude for finding myself spiritually again this year, after so long. 🥹

For the support of my family, especially my husband. Mentors and friends. Their encouragement, guidance, and support have been instrumental in my journey this year.

It’s a reminder of the power of a solid base and the strength we gain from the people we relate ourselves to.

🚀 Looking ahead to 2024:

The lessons I learned, the big challenges I overcome, all the tears and also the achievements celebrated will undoubtedly shape the path ahead.

Exciting news!!

🎉 Thrilled to announce our school holiday program! It’s finally here! Yay 🎉

We have been working on this for many weeks to make sure we would offer your kids the best and most fun school holiday program experience.

Organised by Mini Giants and Ally's Piano Studio, Arts & Beats is a fun-filled school holiday program that combines the best of arts and music for kids between 6 –12 years old!

Kids will unleash their inner artists with our range of art and music workshops, including painting, crafts, beats, piano playing and mini-stage performances.

We want them to learn new skills and perhaps find out a new talent. But more than that, we want them to have fun, because that is what school holidays are about, right? 😁

We have also added some special entertainment that we just know that every child loves! 🥰

Starting this week feeling so grateful 💛

I feel that there is something magical about working with kids ✨

They are just so full of wonder and enthusiasm for even the smallest things… And I guess that is a powerful reminder for all of us to take pleasure in the little things in life and find joy in the present moment 💭

Their energy, creativity, and boundless curiosity have inspired me to approach things in a new and different way, and I just hope that I am able to contribute to them as much as they contribute to me 🫶🏽

It has been a true learning journey for all of us at Mini Giants and nothing can teach us more than these special little humans.

So grateful for the time we spend with each and every single one of our beautiful mini giants!

Love,
Rafaela

I’m not going to talk about Sofia or myself in this post. I want to talk about him, Charlie.

Gratefully, I can say that Mini Giants is ours and that we are a family business, as he is in every single decision I make for Mini Giants and is always the one who has supported my ideas and goals, since the first day.

Despite having his own job and working a lot, he is always ready to do whatever needs to be done when I need help and also helps me with the finances, which I absolutely hate 😅 He lift me up on the bad days and is always open to discuss how we can improve and grow. He is the smartest guy I ever met and an incredible and loving dad.

Today I just want to thank you to you, baby. For you incredible support and for always been an amazing partner, in life and business and on the good and bad days we have. It has been an amazing journey with you.🤍
