CAMILLA TALKS MOTHER'S DAY
& ADJUSTING TO A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LIVING.

"Being a working mum is always a balancing act,
when you combine that with self isolation and homeschooling, it's challenging to say the least. We underestimate how much kids feel the enormity of what's going on around them, so I've been careful to relax any expectations and just embrace what comes up."

How will you spend Mother's Day? There are so many of us that can't be with our mother's this year and my thoughts and virtual hugs go out to them, as well as all the mum's on the frontline who can't be with their children during this time. This Mother's Day will be a day of reflection and appreciating that I can be with my children and hold them close. There is a great simplicity in just being together; spending the days being with one another, laughing, cooking and sharing a meal. Leudi, Missy and Wolfie always make it a special day, whether it's making me breakfast or creating a beautiful card - embracing these simple moments during these uncertain times is what's most important to me.

What does motherhood mean to you? It's this magical, rewarding, hilarious and often exhausting journey. Right now, mums are being asked to do the impossible; run the house, homeschool the kids, juggle work with parenting, all whilst ensuring they are feeling safe and secure during a pandemic. It's completely overwhelming, but if we can drop the guilt, lean on each other and know that if we make it about love first, and make sure you are really with them when you get the time, you can't lose. When I think about all our success with the brand and all we've accomplished with this business, the reality is it pales in significance compared to being a mum.

"Authenticity, a sense of timeless luxury, and a made-to-last
mentality drives my design process which is also reflected in my home interior choices. When sourcing furniture, I find unique pieces that my family will cherish forever."
