I have to be honest.. it wasn’t the most relaxed Mamma Tech session with my little button pusher here! 🤪 but it is such an honour and a privilege to be able to share my passions with him and have my caregiving responsibilities as a Mamma held, respected and encouraged in my place of work ✨💖 continuous thanks to my local hero and colleague @lizzyhumber for creating these spaces 🙏 photo recognition and thanks to @swtheatrephoto for the shot! 🥰
