How are you FEELING? 💖

Even when days feel like a whirlwind of chaos and confusion, remember this: you’re never alone in this journey called LIFE. Whether the sky is cloudy or the sun shines bright, you can always lean on each other for support, comfort, and understanding.

Let’s embrace the opportunity to lift each other up during both the stormier days and the sunny ones. TOGETHER, we can weather any storm and bask in the warmth of knowing that we’re there for each other, through thick and thin!

Have a great new week, friends.

🍓 Our Little Strawberry Dream 🍓👧🏻🐰👶

May marks Birthmark Awareness Month, culminating in World Birthmark Day on May 15th! So many fantastic people and groups including invites us in celebrating and embracing our birthmark stories 🙌

Meet Alice, affectionately also known as Big Al, a vibrant six-year-old with a hemangioma (more commonly known as a strawberry birthmark), nestled just above her right eye.
When Alice was born, her 🍓mark began to bloom, a sight unfamiliar to me as a new parent. As the mark took shape, worry crept in, especially with its prominent location on her face.

We heard reassuring words like, “Don’t fret, it’ll fade with time,” or “It’s just a harmless mark,” but the concern lingered. At four months old, prompted by the size and placement of Alice’s 🍓mark, our local GP referred us to specialists at Children’s Hospital. There, with expert guidance and medication like Propranolol and Timolol, Alice’s mark ceased its growth and began its gradual fade by the time she turned two and a half.

Alice’s journey with her birthmark has been one of resilience and self-love. Despite its presence near her eye, her strawberry mark never caused her pain or trouble. Instead, she embraced it as her “beauty mark,” a source of pride and even “special powers!”

Now, at six years old, Alice’s birthmark is a faint reminder of her journey, a subtle testament to her uniqueness. Regardless of its visibility, her strawberry mark will forever be part of her story.

If sharing our experience can alleviate one parent’s worries or educate one person on the beauty of birthmarks, then we’ve achieved our goal! 😘💛 Please feel free to share with those who may benefit from our story.

With love and acceptance,
Alice and Cindy

REACH FOR THE STARS
We don’t think we’ve ever known a child be accused of not dreaming big enough, but it’s a quality that is often “schooled” out of so many of us.

When Alice Sleeps actively encourages our little ones to think BIG; we believe it’s crucial because it fosters creativity, resilience, and the pursuit of ambitious goals, shaping them into confident and capable colourful individuals 💛

HOW can we expose (our) children to diverse experiences and perspectives to broaden their horizons?
Comment below, it would be great to hear your thoughts and ideas 🙌

Finding Joy in Alone Time 🐰🍓🍧

{ 📚} WHEN ALICE SLEEPS….
Alice Bunny closes her eyes and falls
into a deep, deep sleep…..

One night, while hopping among the stars, Alice stumbled upon a colossal ice cream floating in the cosmos — a sugary marvel with scoops of cotton candy ice cream clouds and sprinkles like stardust.

With a gleeful hop, Alice bounded onto the sweet treat and began her solitary adventure. She climbed sugar-coated peaks and slid down creamy slopes, laughing in delight as she savoured every delicious moment. Keen to reach to the top!! 💪

As the stars twinkled above, Alice realised something magical. She didn’t need anyone else to enjoy this sweet wondrous moment.
Being alone wasn’t lonely; it was actually liberating!

Alice could dance, sing, and explore to her heart’s content without a care in the world! And so, our Alice embraced her solitude, basking in the sweetness of her own company.

She learned that it was okay to enjoy the simple joys of life all by herself — to find happiness within and enjoy every moment, whether alone or with others.

As she hopped back into the cosmos, Alice carried with her a newfound wisdom: the sweetest moments in life are those we share with ourselves…
Whatever you do this weekend, friends – make sometime to be with just YOU! ✌️

~ Alice and friends 💖
