🎈WOWEEE!!! 🎈

I've had so many exciting things going on since returning to work from maternity leave that I just want to take a minute to celebrate....

SQUIGGLES & GIGGLES IS 10 YEARS OLD! 🤯

Yup... 10 years ago in 2014 I started up Squiggles & Giggles and my what a ride it has been... 🥳✨️

From starting off with a few facepaint supplies and balloons entertaining at birthday parties every weekend... 🥳

To getting my main pal Giggles and taking a big leap of faith (you gotta believe in yourself! - thanks to my mummy for the encouragement 💖) and approaching nurseries to let me come in and offer Music & Movement classes when no-one had even heard of me (a question i get asked a alot...nope, I'm not a franchise - I'm just me!)

To running community classes, summer schemes, festivals, Christmas markets, school workshops, charity fundraisers, writing children's books, toddler takeover at Hillsborough Castle (the first ever!)... forest book launches, Messy Giggles on the beach, in the park.. online when the whole world shut down...the list goes on... Meeting so many wonderful children and their families and carers.. the staff who work in the nurseries and schools I've been invited in to... time and time again.

I feel so grateful and proud of what I've achieved in the past ten years.. TEN YEARS!!! That's a whole DECADE of Squigglin' and Gigglin'. 😱🤩

I'd love to hear about your memories of Squiggles & Giggles over the past years - photos would be totally amazing too! 📸

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much for supporting me over the past ten years - it means the absolute world to me! Now lets see what the next decade brings...✨️💖🤗

Came across this little book from when I was in P4 and this wee belter of a story was inside.. that poor man living on Meadow Lane.. 😅 thankfully my storytelling has improved a little (I hope?) with my Babble the Bunny book. 🐰 📚

I love my visits to Comber Primary and Nursery School every month. Thank you to the wonderful teaching staff for an amazing opportunity to enhance the nursery's curriculum with learning through movement and music, and some children's yoga and breathing techniques too! The children are brilliant - Can't wait for next time. 🥰🍂

It's the start of a new week and we're looking forward to another week full of Giggles!

Remember I will also be offering children's storytelling yoga sessions which are perfect for kids aged 3 and up, and I'm working on a very special festive themed one so keep your eyes peeled for that! 💖🎄
