Balling on a Budget: Wedding Planning - Pt 1
As you may know, I (Mama Panda aka Rufina) is passionate about supporting independent businesses so following on from our previous blog post detailing how our beautiful wedding rings were made, it gives us so much joy to showcase the amazing brands that we worked with who gave nothing short of delivering 110% in the six months leading up to and on our wedding day despite us “balling on a budget”. Check out the pics to see how it all turned out! Stationery and Calligraphy sign

7-Day Meh-cation
Hospital talk part 2: Last summer, I wrote an entry titled ECGs EEGs and Heart Monitor Implantation however I feel like I published it prematurely. Lately, some of our friends and loyal customers have noticed periods or gaps in our social media posting and my inconsistent personal appearances, often quizzing me as to why I’ve been MIA and so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to lay it out here for anyone wondering to see. Last September, I went to a routine follow

Well hello there 2018!
And a warm welcome to you! It’s the 30th of Jan and I’m wondering, is it too late to wish you a happy new year? I mean, it’s the first blog entry of the year so surely it’s still acceptable to do so? *thinking face much Anyway, another year another blog post and in this one we will be talking GOALS. Resolutions? Personally I don’t believe in New year’s resolutions - you don’t need a new year to come round to start a change - neither do you need it to set a goal BUT let’s just

Mama Panda delves deep into her definition of Motherhood
Hi all! Mama Panda here welcoming you to another new entry, but with a slight twist! I decided I’d try something new and share my own personal experiences of motherhood, so here it goes… At the age of 19 I became a first time mum. It was a daunting yet exciting experience and I didn’t know what to expect. Being one of the first in my circle of friends to give birth, I really didn’t know who I could talk to about certain things. How do you change a nappy? What do you do when h

What's your definition of a Mother?
As Mama Panda, I have my own definition and story about how our Three Little Pandas’ Mother is Love collection came to fruition but before delving into it, I decided to ask a few special mothers what their take on being a mum is. Tissues at the ready! It’s about to get emotional.. “A mother is not only a parent, but is someone that nurtures and looks after anyone around them, whether it be family or not. A person that encourages and supports your life goals and dreams, your s

TLP4MFUK: Part 3
The Event! The morning of the event, just as I was finishing frosting the last batch of Oreo cupcakes (which were naughty), the muscle arrived. Nice! The guys moved all of the supplies that had been piling up in our home over the past couple of weeks to the venue (which was a minute’s walk away but was still very heavy nonetheless). Handling everything back at home whilst the missus went ahead to set up the venue, I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I got there. The view

TLP4MFUK: Part 2
It must have been January when the missus and I realised that her brand, Three Little Pandas was fast approaching it’s first birthday. Obviously, that meant one thing: PANDA PARTY!!! It only made sense. Once we had the venue sorted, we had to make sure that first and foremost we invited those who played a vital role in the successful first year of the brand, from collaborators and business partnerships to those who merely offered true, honest moral support. As mentioned in pr

TLP4MFUK: Part 1
Part 1: Three Little Pandas go to The Philippines It’s been a while since we’ve updated our blog so apologies if you have been following us and wondering why there has been such a gap since our last entry… The Panda Family have been on vacation over the Easter break and we have much to get you up to speed on – hence the Part 1 header to this “short story”. At the end of March, we packed up our gear and put all orders on hold for a couple of weeks so we could visit our beloved

#MPBDAYXMASGIVEAWAY
So, with Christmas and New Year celebrations settled we figured it was time for Mama Panda to get comfortable, sit, and blog it out. Did we wish you a Happy New Year already? If not… HAPPY 2017 everyone! This one I’ll try to keep short and sweet (promise), although I know I’ve developed a habit of rambling on a bit lately – must be the getting back into normality now that our daily routine has commenced post-holiday season – Papa Panda back at work, Little Pandas back at scho
