I specialise in bringing families and friends together to celebrate the newest member(s) of your family. Whether it's a newborn, siblings from blended families, or through adoption, I believe every child deserves a special ceremony to mark their place in your hearts.
Together, we will honour the uniqueness of your family and I will work with you to create a personalised and meaningful celebration that reflects your values and traditions.
Contact me today to start planning your one-of-a-kind Naming Ceremony.
What did we do, in the days before you came?
Vodka, and dancing, and staying out late,
Breakfast at tea-time,
Reading the papers, a long lie-in,
And space in the bed.
Now it’s daisy chains, and super-heroes,
Butterfly wings, and light-sabres,
Eating pink cake,
Naming stars,
And catching snowflakes in our mouths,
No room in the bed,
And a half-sleep on its edge,
While you snore, stretched out, a star-fish.
Time escaping, before you came,
And cast your spell,
And filled the house with possibility;
All the things you want to do,
And all the things you’re going to be,
So – let’s make a den,
Take our biscuits in,
Carve lanterns at Hallowe’en,
Watch grown-ups do star jumps on a trampoline,
And wonder what we ever did,
In the days before you came.
