Victoria Carlisle | Parents of Perth: Your Local Guide

In 2025, I welcomed: Dreams worth manifesting. People that inspired me. Many playgrounds and babyccinos. Stories worth writing. Changes worth making. Adventures that pushed me. Growth worth celebrating. Peace worth protecting. Friendships that nourished me. Boundaries worth respecting. Conversations that expanded me. Love worth sharing. 2025, the year that was ✨

One of life’s biggest lotteries is having your mum around, knowing that when life happens, you can still call her, hear her voice and feel her love. No matter how old you get or how complicated life becomes, there’s something comforting about knowing she’s there. Someone who worries about you without being asked, prays for you in silence, celebrates your wins like they’re her own and somehow knows how to make heavy days feel lighter. Not everyone gets that kind of love for long, which is why it’s one of life’s greatest privileges, a quiet blessing we often don’t fully realise until we imagine life without it. My love language will forever be planning gatherings and creating special moments for the people I love. Do yourself a favour and save these girls for your next event because they are AMAZING! 🍇 SENSATIONAL Graze by @sqiishmade DC: PLL10 🧁 10/10 GF cake by @kyms.cakes DC: PLL10 🍪 BEAUTIFUL Cookies by @happy_ever_laughter_party 🎈 DECORATIONS cheeky @temu_au order! How lucky I am to spend to the afternoon like this 🥺

Happy Mother’s Day to every incredible mother out there. I hope you take a moment today to truly see yourself, the strength you carry, the love you pour and the endless sacrifices you make. Motherhood, a role that demands everything from you yet gives back in ways words can’t explain. There is no greater honour than being a mother, no love as pure, no bond as unbreakable. You are worth celebrating, not just today but every single day. I hope you feel the love you so freely give. You are seen, you are valued, and you are deeply, deeply loved. Thank you for making the world go round ✨🫶🏼🌍 #happymothersday #mothersday #mum #mother

So incredibly grateful to @lskd for the most beautiful morning celebrating motherhood 🤍 A chance to connect, move and celebrate alongside so many inspiring women, such a special experience. Feeling so lucky to have worn the Momentum Sports Bra and Fusion Ultra High-Rise Full Length Leggings (with pockets 🙌)… buttery soft, sculpting in all the right places, IYKYK. Both are available now in @lskd.stores as Mother’s Day bundles ✨ A heartfelt thank you to @bodyscapeyoga owner Rosanna for sharing her time, energy and expertise with us, such a grounding and uplifting session in her beautiful studio. And believe it or not… my very first yoga class ever! Safe to say I’ll be back 🧘‍♀️ And a big thank you to the gorgeous @roxycvisser for the invite on behalf of the LSKD team and for bringing together such a meaningful morning of connection and joy. It was perfect! ✨ Still pinching myself that I get to be surrounded by so many incredible mums and beautiful souls 💫 feeling beyond blessed. Don’t be surprised if this becomes my daily uniform… I’m obsessed and refusing to take it off! #lskd #lskdcreator #lskdstores #mothersday #perthmums
