Millie Arnold
On Motherhood
@_milliearnold reflects on her first year as a mother and shares her plans to celebrate the festive season with her baby, Silver, for the first time. Pictured wearing our meaningful Mum Bracelet, the perfect gift for every mum-to-be, mother figure, grandmother, mother-in-law and addition to your own wishlist this gifting season.
What are you most excited for this holiday season with Silver?
I usually head back to the UK for Christmas, but it’s my partner’s turn this year. I love that she’ll grow up experiencing both UK and Australian Christmases — she’s still tiny, but I’m determined to make it magical for her.
Are there any special traditions or moments you’re looking forward to sharing with her or as a family these holidays?
I can’t wait to start our own traditions, all inspired by the ones my mum made so special for me and my sister. Christmas Eve PJs are first on the list.
Q: What are some of the most memorable moments or milestones you’ve experienced with Silver so far?
How are you finding your current motherhood chapter?
It’s my favourite chapter so far and the version of myself I love the most. It has its challenges, but I wouldn’t change any of it. Seeing her grow (new rolls every week!) and knowing I’m her safe place has been the most rewarding feeling, it’s a kind of love I didn’t know existed.
What makes the Mum Bracelet meaningful to you
A: It’s such a subtle but special reminder of this new chapter. A piece of jewellery I’ll always associate with my first Christmas as her mum.
