✨Christmas & New Year here we come✨
Welcome to the festive edition of Simply Babies Magazine! We hope to bring you some sparkle, and a little bit of Christmas magic, as well as our usual insightful editorials and an array of wonderful local family classes, clubs and workshops!
Inside the winter edition of the magazine you will find a double page spread on local festive events, Christmas shops and family experiences. We are so pleased that we are able to be together as families this festive season and wanted to be able to celebrate all the joy and merriment of the festive season that we were unable to do in 2020.
As always we would like to thank those who have contributed to our magazine including:
🎄Teresa Flanagan, local award winning newborn and family photographer, for providing our beautiful cover images for each edition.
🎄Claire Foskett for sharing with us her Dear Boobs book, which is a book of poems about the loves, leaks and letdowns of breastfeeding
🎄The lovely ladies at Next Page Books in Hitchin, for proving their editorial about literacy and engaging children in storytelling.
🎄Ali Ribchester from Tutti Frutti Clothing for her editorial on sourcing and making ethically sourced clothing, from her wonderful new shop in Letchworth.
🎄Radha Wilson Jeffries, the Midwife Sparkle Coach, for talking to us about the issues midwives and the maternity care system are facing and how she is supporting midwives through these challenging times.
So grab a cuppa ☕️, a mince pie 🥧and sit a relax while you indulge in the festive pages of our winter magazine ☃️!
