“Baby number two picked my timing for me, and I was able to slip the proposal on top of that news. We took a photo moments later of us and our first son Wiremu laying in bed together, we have dumb grins on our face and tears in our eyes, and he is just happy to be hanging out with his folks on our bed. That photo is on the centre of our mantlepiece.”

“This taonga means so much, it represents and further establishes a lifelong bond between us and our families for our babies and the generations to come in the future. It’s a physical representation of connection through whakapapa.”

“Pounamu is ideal to me, for its enduring and protective qualities. It’s a high vibration stone that absorbs energy. So I’m wearing this throughout the powerful and magical time of my second hapūtanga, growing together, and it’s absorbing the gifts our babies bring us. Wiremu gave me the gift of joy, and with this one I feel peaceful and content. So our children and mokopuna will inherit this treasure as an heirloom that is full of so much love, joy and peace.”

“It glows in the light, because it was designed that way, and I imagine all the love we have in our life, and spreading it around everywhere. I’m stupidly happy with it.”
