A moment for the smocks!! 💕✨🎈🎨💦
The long awaited restock of Lovebug is soooooo close.

AND! Finally we will also be offering a larger size range that’s been requested so many times. This will include, Extra Small, perfect for 6-18 month bubbas during messy play and of course meal times! And more pattern options is the so so popular Large Size. Best suited for ages 3-5 years.

Our premium-quality art smocks are made to last. Crafted from thick, 100% waterproof fabric, they’re fully machine washable and designed to withstand years of messy play. The soft elastic neckline means no sticky buttons or cheap Velcro, making them easy for little ones to put on themselves, while the generous fit grows with your child for years of use.

Which one are you waiting for? 👇🏻👇🏻 by @messyplay_

Two years of the BEST MESSY PLAY chaos I could ever ask for. 🥹🤎✨

Thank you for creating such a fun, safe space for my two little ones to explore, create and make a whole lot of mess nearly every single week! 🎨

Rain, hail or shine, my kids always looked forward to our messy play days, and watching their little faces light up each week has been so special.

But somewhere along the way, it became so much more than just messy play days… it became mum club, coffee dates, friendships and watching our little ones grow up together. ☕️

I’m so proud of everything you’ve created over the past two years and so grateful we’ve been a little part of the journey. Here’s to many more messy memories, little friendships and coffee dates. ✨

MESS IS TWO!!!! 🥳✨🫧🎨🪩🕺💕🌈

What a paarrrrrr-tay!!! Today is all about YOU!! Mess wouldn’t be what it is, without the gorg mamas and kiddies that have supported me. Right from the start with crappy tiny trays I had mums behind me saying how amazing it is (when they weren’t) and the support and love I’ve received is what has brought us here. So thank YOU!!

Like many of us, I lost myself a lil postpartum and Mess is what brought me back. My silly little playgroup and the connections with my now friends 🫶🏼
I often get asked how I do it all with 3 kids, but honestly I’m a better mum and person for it. Every week I’m just so bloody grateful you all show up with nothing but kindness and love so the least I can do is provide a space where there’s no rules, just fun and a little bit of paint.

Thank you thank you thank you 😘😘😘😘

& huge shout out to @eatingstation who allow us to come and mess up their incredible outdoor space every single week and to @bubblesentertainment9! Brisa is now a sweet sweet friend and someone I wouldn’t do an event like this without 🫧🫶🏼

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MESSSSSSYYYYY ✨🫧🌈🪩☀️🕺 taken in Eating Station by @messyplay_

Oh I’m soooooo back 👯‍♀️

I’d taken a little step back, from regular sessions, from party bookings, from admin and dms (sorry for the 3 day reply ha) and the website building. Truth is, as incredible as Mess is, I’m still learning the balance. I’ve got 3 young children who watch their mum constantly on her phone working and whilst I know they’re also watching me work my ass off, which I love to role model to them, it all comes with a sacrifice.

The messy niche is growing rapidly, which also comes with constant and loud competition and comparison, both that I just don’t have the energy to allow to swallow me up but sometimes they still do.

I’d fallen into the people pleasing trap - worrying too much about keeping everyone happy, how I’m perceived and whether I’m doing enough, while also feeling incredibly honoured that I get to do what I do.

After some slower work weeks, filling my cup with weddings, events and family time is just what I neeeeded - A needed reminder that messy is FUN and colourful!

And the only thing about it that matters is those cute little giggles and grins that come out when kids get MESSY!!

Sooooo ready for the next few months!! 🍦👻✨🎨😍 by @messyplay_
