We're all trying our best and that's good enough! Let us take the pressure off by hiring our kit for your next party. We'll provide the tableware, serveware and we have a few decorations too. We'll even do the washing up after 😉

In 1953 the British Psychoanalyst and Paediatrician Donald Winnicott coined the term 'The Good Enough Mother'. Winnicott theorised that it was actually beneficial to babies when their mothers failed in some small way. It was these moments, where the needs of the babies weren't quite met by their mothers, he believed helped babies to develop independence and confidence. The times when they cry and we can't get to them quickly enough and the times when we can't quite give it our all because we're feeling depleted ourselves, or busy with another child, Winnicott believed as just as important as the times when we are fully responsive, if not more so.

In a world where pressure on mothers is immense - where mother judgement is rife, I think we could all do well to listen more to Winnicott. It's not possible to be perfect as a parent....and even if it were, it wouldn't be desirable to be so. Our children need us to slip up, they need to see us make mistakes and learn how to deal with them and they need us to be 'good enough' in order that we give them space to grow and develop independence.

Take the pressure off yourself a little ;forgive yourself when your baby cries and you don't hear or can't stop the tears, or your toddler spends the whole day in front of the TV. You are enough as you are. It's OK to be good enough - real mothers aren't perfect, because perfect mothers aren't real.

By using our kit you're reducing waste that would go to landfill as well as saving the resources used and emissions generated in creating single use items. 👍

ON A MISSION...

Our mission is very simple. We want to make reusable tableware accessible to as many communities as possible. ♻️

We want to make hiring reusables for a party the norm.

Why? Because reusing something takes a lot less energy than making a new thing each time. Even recycling uses energy. 🌍💚

And you know what? Reusables are just nicer than a soggy paper plate! 🥳

If you have old clothes that can't be reused a great way to give them new life is by having them made into a keepsake.
