It honestly takes a village to raise a family and this month in particular, I am so, so grateful for mine. It’s been unusually busy in these last four weeks – more so than you’d expect life to be with three kids and a career. Many of you probably don’t know that as well as running Minty I also have a part time job as Marketing Manager for a pretty amazing company. I started mentioning this to a few people recently and I was surprised to find that many of the artisans and advertisers featured in this very issue also juggle their creative businesses with a day job. It’s just the way life seems to be these days – we wear multiple hats – and I believe, especially for me, we’re better off for it. This issue has more amazing rooms and nurseries than we’ve ever featured before and we’ve even crossed the seas to bring you the stunning Dubai-based home of Linda Dekkers (of Live Loud Girl). Serious house goals.

So back to my village, and in particular my beautiful sister without whom you would definitely not be reading this issue right now. Yonni, thanks for taking my kids to the park today so I could get this issue finished. Thanks for offering to help me source products even though you’d have no idea where to start. Thanks for making me cups of tea, and just thanks for supporting me so I can do what I love. You are the most beautiful human on this planet, bar none. 01.
