Happy Mother's Day from Haakaa!
This weekend is Mother's Day, and it's one of those days that we genuinely love, because it gives us an excuse to stop and celebrate all of the incredible people who show up for their little ones, day in and day out. So, before the weekend gets away on us, we wanted to take a moment to say: we see you, and we think you're doing an amazing job. This one is for all you mums, of every type out across the motu! And for those who are after a last-minute something useful for the mum in their lives, we’ve got you covered.
If this is your first Mother's Day, welcome to the club! It might not look quite how you imagined: there's a not-insignificant chance you're celebrating in a milk-stained top with a baby on your chest and approximately four hours of sleep under your belt, but we know you’re doing amazing (regardless of whether you currently feel that way or not). The fact that you're here, showing up for your little one even through the fog of exhaustion, is everything, and we couldn’t be happier for you, nor prouder. For those who want to help the mum in their life deal with the aforementioned milk-stained tops? You can’t go past the Petal Milk Collector. It’s soft, small, and perfect for catching those leaks and saving those tops!
And for those mums who have been through this all before? You’re the ones who make it look easy, even when it absolutely is not. You've got school runs and after-school activities, emotional load and mental load, and somehow you just keep going. Today we're raising a cup of (probably reheated) tea in your honour. For those who want something to soothe their skin (with a frankly gorgeous scent), Haakaa’s Belly Bliss Lotion Balm might be just the thing. While it’s primarily designed for pregnant bellies, the floral fragrance and moisturising qualities it has mean it’s never the wrong time for some aroma-based relaxation. And if neither of these options suit? We've got a great Mother's Day sale on this weekend only!
Motherhood comes in so many beautiful forms. Stepmums, adoptive mums, grandmothers, aunties, whānau who hold it all together…if you love and care for a child, this weekend absolutely belongs to you. We're so glad you're here!
Whatever your Mother's Day looks like this weekend, we hope it has something in it that fills your cup. Whether that's breakfast in bed, a long walk, a phone call with someone you love, or simply a hot cup of tea or coffee enjoyed while it's still hot – you deserve it. All of it.
From all of us at Haakaa, happy Mother's Day. We love and appreciate you more than we can say.
