karina L

I love taking my friends out for a good meal or drink..my shout! That will always put a smile on their face!

Lorna M

I have been told that I have a good listening ear and am the person my friends come to when they are down with an issue. I did not realized this but am more than happy to be of support when the need arises.

*PS-this dress is simply stunning and versatile, thanks for featuring it 🙂

In my “life before children” I was a teacher and I now get to use my laminating, nursery rhyme singing, finger puppet jiggling and general crazy won’t do it in front of another adult skills to keep two boys 4 and 2 amused (and boy they would give any 25 child class a run for their money in the energy factor).

Wendy Holdaway

I am passionate about the social and emotional wellbeing of my friends and family and do everything I can to be available and open to them and support them in finding happiness and fulfillment in this busy, hectic life. It might be a listening ear, sharing a glass of wine, looking after their kids to allow some time out, a hug, a reminder about finding gratitude for the little things or a shoulder to cry on.

Amanda Eastment

I am passionate about shining my light in our local community. Signing on to be a class rep at school is a great way to do this, organizing events to help people feel connected in and cared for. It’s about us keeping our gate/ door open to those around us and being creative with ways to get people together or helping people out. I’d definitely like to help more when I see needs.

I commented on this dress at the DP conference as it (and you) were just stunning. I was shocked when you wore it the next night and told me it was the same dress! I find it hard finding dresses that suit my body shape and this one I know I would love.

Other than using my passion and knowledge of how children learn and sharing that with the world freely on my play based learning blog, I think that in my day to day life, I try to make others happy by very simply offering a smile.
I try to smile at everyone I come across in my daily life which is something that I found took me time to make myself remember. I know it seems simple, but we often get in a rush (especially at the shops etc) and everyone always seems so busy, it’s easy to put your head down and focus on the task at hand. We often get smiles back and I take joy in each one of those smiles knowing that they came about just because I smiled at them. I like to think it makes the world feel just that little bit more friendly and reminds others out there that sometimes all it takes is a smile to lift your mood. I think it’s good for my children to witness as well. 🙂

I am passionate about science! I studied for many years to become a reproductive biologist and I now work in a laboratory dedicated to researching fertility and infertility. Since becoming a Mum the significance of my work has really hit home. I hope and pray that what I do has a positive impact for families having trouble conceiving, so that everyone who wants to can experience the joy of having a child.

Sandra Hetherington

I just try be there when they need me. I don’t just try to make them happy, I try to let them see the hope all around them. To leave them with a sense of peace. Its good to be able to have junk food days and movie days or just to sit and listen, laughing and crying with them. Its how I love being a friend.

Bonnie

I have a passion for teaching under privileged children how to improve at school. I currently teach P3 at a small school west of Ipswich and I love it most days!

Kelly – you look stunning in the dress 🙂

Helga Grenkowitz

I love to share competitions with my Facebook friends; and I am very happy for them in case they win.

Natasha Munns

Kelly, you are just stunning – with or without Sacha Drake (but preferable with something else on, if you are ‘without’ Sacha Drake) 😉 I love that you were brave enough to rock up to school pick-up in this gorgeous dress!!
now, talents, passions and resources….I guess I love just helping people out wherever and whenever I can. But at the moment, I am also working as a Speechie – I get to use my training and gifts to help children learn to communicate well. Not much beats the tears of joy from parents when their little one breaks through whatever is holding them back from communicating clearly. And the beaming smiles and hugs from the children are just about all I need to keep coming back! Tash xx

Salena

I’ve recently made it a quartley goal to give back to the community and have been hosting free workshops for mums to help them start up their businesses. They are so excited and re-energised after the workshop!

Joanne Cardamone

I love to be on marketing sample lists because I love to share freebies with everyone at work, it makes tea break much more interesting and fun

Kellie M

I work in a hotel associated with a hospital. Our hotel accommodates people that are ill and have family that are ill. As you can imagine our guests come from many different backgrounds but they all really want the same thing – a clean, safe bed to sleep in, a friendly face and someone who will listen. I try to do this every day in and out of work. I always try and think what would i need if i was faced with these circumstances. I’ve come to realise its the smallest thought that makes the biggest difference and this has become my passion.

Jess

This dress is just beautiful and so clever. One of my passions is music and especially singing. It’s something I am just re-discovering after having my first baby 14 months ago. He is a darling but we have been through the wars – battling post-natal depression, breastfeeding issues, and very very little sleep – but we are coming out the other side now and it is wonderful to feel like I can be myself again. I love singing to my boy and he’s just started to sing along with me which is the best! His chubby little face just lights up when we sing together! I have my first singing performance in about 3 years coming up soon and this dress would be a fabulous confidence booster 🙂

Michelle

I love to help out in my children’s school. I help in their classes, in the library, with Mother’s and Father’s Day stalls and with our fete. My kids love that I am there for them. Love the dress!

Tracey ellis

I’m creative and silly!! What a combination when combined with my 3 little kids.. Lots if fun!

Lauren A

I absolutely love the Grecian Dress, and the idea of only needing one dress when travelling.

I don’t know that I have a special talent for motherhood, but I do know that it is my passion. I want my teenagers to look back on their childhood with happy memories of lots of hugs, support and love. I assisted in their classrooms in primary school, act out scenes from history with them to help bring it to life, welcome all their friends to play dates and sleepovers at our home, create wonderlands for birthday parties… I even recently transformed the house into an abandoned, dust-covered haunted house for my 11th Grade son’s film assignment, complete with fake bloodstains everywhere (maple syrup and red colouring is perfect!) And so far, so good… I have 2 teenagers who still seem happy to have me around.

Danielle

I have just refound my passion for sewing and I love make gifts for my friends and family with my new creations.

Rachel

I can often be heard singing little made up rhymes and ditties to the children, complete with a little jig. It always creates laughs and giggles, or at least an “Oh Mum” from Mr 10. Our son had been a little cheeky and so I decided to pay him back when his play mate came around. I started to sing the song from the Coles add for their benefit “Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,………Sunday, I love you”.. Instead of laughs I receive two agonised faces and his friend responded “You’re Mum’s nuts”. So take that! Well that one didn’t work – maybe I’m losing my touch!!

Monique N

Eeeekkkkk that dress is so beautiful, especially with you in it Kelly! I wouldn’t look anywhere so good, but would love to wear it none the less 😉

In answer to your question, I am an exceedingly shy person who is the type to always stick my foot in what I am trying to say, so I have always tried to really listen to people rather than talk myself (which is hard because when I am nervous I rabble), and treat others like I would want to be treated. I guess these are really small things because we all get caught up in our own lives and drama’s, but I try and be someone who people feel they can talk to and be heard.. I’m definitely not perfect but its nice to hep your friends feel better when they are feeling sad 🙂
