As a young child, I remember constantly getting

frustrated at not being able to complete an art

project, or nish a task the way I wanted to. Id say

to my mother, I cant do it, I cant nish it, I just

cant! And shed always reply, theres no such

word as cant. Little did I know the importance of

that mantra. Only now, as a mother myself, can

I truly appreciate her advice. I would have neverstarted LMNOP if it wasnt for my amazing mum

teaching me to say I can!Thats one mantra I

will denitely be teaching my son.

Youll meet another amazing mother, Jaime

Halward in this issue of LMNOP. She tells us how

she juggles a successful business with motherhood

a ne balance many of us tread everyday.

Youll also nd a bundle of Easter fun packed into

these pages. Plus, new columns like our Out &

About guide, a book review from LMNOPs library

and Home-made, which will showcase some great

art projects made at home!

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has

subscribed and contributed to this second issue

of LMNOP. If youre only seeing LMNOP for the

rst time, dont forget to subscribe by visiting

the cut-paper collages of New York-based artist Ida Pearle. Idas take on

traditional illustrated alphabets are poetic narratives inspired by everyday

I couldnt

live without

A Precious Charm of Nates

when we are apart. And my

boys Nate and my husband

Terry make my world turn.

What were reading

at the moment

Nathan and I are reading

The Snail and the Whale

by Julia Donaldson

and Axel Schefer.

When I have 30

minutes to myself

I call my mum in Perth. We

speak daily and she loves an

update on our family life. Its an

interstate hug for me too.

LMNOP: How were you inspired to start your business?

JH: I always wanted a business doing something creative. It wasnt until I returned

to work part-time after maternity leave that I needed to have something of Nathans

with me when we were apart. I started making his ngerprint charms as a comfort.

Family and friends wanted ngerprint charms of their children and the business grew

from there. It was a big move to leave the corporate world, but it is all worthwhile.

LMNOP: Whats your favourite piece in the Precious Charms range?

JH: I love the Heavy Link Necklace with Hoop Charm and the Choker with Bauble

Charm, both in Silver. They can be dressy or casual depending on what you wear

them with. The charms are detachable and can be worn on other jewellery.

LMNOP: What advice would you give to other mums trying to start a business?

JH: Choose something you are passionate about. You have to be self-motivated

and be prepared to get back to work after youve done the bed-time routine. It

also really helps to have some like-minded people to talk with. To give you an

encouraging push when you need it, and to celebrate your successes.LMNOP: How do you juggle your business with motherhood?

JH: I am really lucky as my husband is wonderful and we share family and home

responsibilities (thanks Tez!). He understands the pressures and is so supportive.

I work four days a week, have Fridays off with Nate and every weekend is purely

family time for the three of us.

LMNOP: The best piece of advice youll ever give your son?

JH: Be kind to yourself and trust your inner voice if you have a niggling doubt

about someone or something, trust it.

Precious Charms

preciouscharms.com.au

Jaimes unique, custom-made jewellery

business was born when she returned to workafter being on maternity leave. She missed

her son Nate so much, the need to have him

close by gave her the idea to carry a

precious charm his ngerprint.

Lots of family homes generate craft materials on a

Pisces

Life is always interesting with

young Pisces. They can be

theatrical and creative, but at

times overly sensitive. With

love and appreciation, theyll

stay on the right path and

resist the urge to daydream

too much. Teach them to be

practical and steer them away

from negative inuencers.

Virgo

The Virgo ankle-biter is

intelligent and inquiring. They

have a ne attention to detail,

and are happy to wile away

the hours with craft, books or

intricate hobbies. They may tend

to be sensitive and over-react,

so keep their mind stimulated

and everything in order.

Aquarius

Parents of Aquarian tots may

wonder whether they have a

child genius in their midst. This

little maverick will question

everything from sport and

science, to art and authority.

Give them an outlet for

self-expression or theyll feel

fenced in. Group games and

challenges can help them excel.

Leo

Your little lion is a born actor

and loves the limelight. They

can be bossy to get their way,

but on the whole are happy

little cubs. Encourage them in

the arts, sport and drama, and

teach them to help others to

nurture their natural leadership

abilities.

Libra

The Libra child is sociable and

charming. They generally mix

well with adults and children,

although have a tendency

to be inuenced too easily.

Encourage your littlie to

see both sides, and develop

their own opinions. Your best

approach is logical chit-chat.

Scorpio

Parents will have fun getting

to the bottom of Scorpios

feelings. They tend to hide their

emotions and you must earn

their trust. When you do win

them over, theyll be loyal for

life. Channel their energies into

activities they love and theyll

be passionate and dedicated.

Sagittarius

Fun, games and the outdoors

will appeal to the bite-sized

Sagittarius. They love to explore

sometimes attempting

acrobatic feats. They are great

with pets and mix well with

other children. Feed their sense

of adventure with sporting

activities, trips to the zoo and

holidays to exciting places.

Capricorn

Your little Capricorn is a

hard worker and achiever.

Motivate them to set a goal

and dedicate themselves to

whatever interests them. They

benet from having an older

mentor and generally respect

authority. With guidance and

perseverance, they can soar!

Aries

The Aries child loves to explore

and is prone to taking risks, so

extra monitoring is advised.

Help your little boss channel

their energies into fun, sports

and games where they can

shine. Nurture their leadership

qualities and dont be afraid

to bring out the naughty stool

when they throw temper tanties!

Taurus

Your affectionate little Taurus

is intrigued by the senses. They

gravitate to music, gardens

and paints. Give them building

blocks to keep their hands busy

and crayons to nurture their

artistic talents. These littlies

are good with pets and look

after them with loving care.

Gemini

Your social Gemini loves

company and can be a

chatterbox on the telephone.

They are quick learners with a

love for books and usually pick

up reading early on. Try to keep

them focused and stimulate

their mind because they can

have a short attention span.

Cancer

The Cancer tot is very loving

and family-oriented, but tends

to be sensitive. Family upsets

can put them in a spin, so be

sure to reassure your little crab

that everythings OK even if

things dont go swimmingly.

Nurture their creative side and

theyll stay positive and social.
