Tucked away in coastal Orewa is one of our loveliest stockists 🀍

Island is the kind of store you go in for one thing and leave an hour later β€” beautifully curated pieces, a little corner for babies and littles, and the sort of welcome that makes you want to linger.

And now you'll find a few of our Labour & Love favourites on their shelves too. If you've been wanting to see and hold them in person before you buy β€” whether for yourself or as a gift for someone stepping into motherhood β€” this is your spot.

Four confessions. Zero regrets. 🀍

The pantry chocolate is non-negotiable. The outfit rotation is efficiency, not defeat. The bra is structural. And the head-sniffing is genuinely the highlight of my day.

Which one is you? Or is it all four (correct answer). πŸ‘‡

Packing one of our biggest orders yet πŸ“¦ with a soundtrack of small people in the background... which is honestly the most on-brand thing about this business.

Every order that leaves here is packed by hand, in between naps or snack requests...or the occasional brotherly quarell.

Thank you for supporting a real home operation. 🀍

No matter how much you prepare for birth, nothing can truly prepare you for the love that follows.

The quiet moments.
The tiny hands.
The cuddles that somehow make everything else disappear.

Motherhood asks so much of us, but it gives us a love that's impossible to put into words. 🀍

Here's to every mama who's in the thick of it, soaking up the little moments that one day won't feel so little.

You are their safe place. Their comfort. Their whole world.

And that's something truly extraordinary.

✨ What's one little thing your child does that melts your heart every single time?

A natural, drug-free comfort tool for your birth bag 🀎

This engraved wooden comb is designed to be held and pressed through each surge...a simple, physical way to stay present, breathe, and ride the wave instead of fighting it. No batteries, no drugs, just something to hold onto (literally) when things get intense.

Engraved with a reminder for exactly those moments: "Breathe. Surrender. Trust your body."

Add it to your hospital bag, your home birth kit, or gift it to a mama-to-be who's getting close to birth.

If you had to choose just ONE... which are you picking? πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‡

✨ Never washing pump parts or bottles or reusable nappies again.
✨ Every nappy is just a wee.
✨ Your partner automatically knows what the baby needs.
✨ Coffee/Tea that never goes cold.
✨ A house that magically tidies itself every night.

We're torn... but your hot drink hitting the exact temperature every single time is sounding pretty tempting. β˜•πŸ€

Your birth space sets the tone. 🀍

Soft lighting. Calm music. The little rituals that help you feel safe, grounded, and ready to meet your baby.

Our birth pool isn't just another item on your birth checklist. It's a space to breathe, move freely, and sink into the moment, whether you're planning a home birth or creating a calm environment before heading to hospital.

Because every mum deserves a birth space that feels like hers.

Would a birth pool be part of your dream birth setup? Tell us below. πŸ‘‡

POV: You run a small business, on 24/7 mum duty, so "managing it all" means late nights packing orders, answering emails during nap time, and having a wee breakdown every now and then.

Its fine.
We're fine.
Everything's fine.

The Labour & Love Pregnancy and Postpartum Journal.

One day, these pages won't just be words... they'll become a piece of your story. 🀍

Our Letters to My Baby section gives you a space to write down everything you never want to forget...the excitement, the hopes, the little kicks, the dreams, and all the love you're already feeling before you've even met.

Years from now, these letters will become a keepsake your child can treasure forever.

Because memories fade, but your words can last a lifetime.

What would be the very first thing you'd write to your baby? πŸ‘‡
