Ernesto Neto @ Nike 1948...

This week Nai Nai and I were lucky enough to have a workshop with amazing Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto thanks to Mothers Meeting and the Nike Flyknit Collective. We learned about Flyknit, we did yoga using sculptures, babies played with installations and we counted Nike fuel points. It was a pretty inspirational morning, not only hearing Neto's motivation for his sculptures but connecting with and meeting like-minded mums and doing some powerful yoga. And of course Nai Nai had a great time too...

One of the best things about mummy-hood is the inspiration you get from your baby and your new life to do things that you never thought you would or could. Did I ever see myself working out with a whole bunch of mums every Thursday? No. Did I ever see myself workshopping with legendary Brazilian artists? Absolutely not. But when you allow yourself to, for want of a better phrase, think outside of the box, you find yourself open to all these new experiences and that's amazing for mind, body and soul. Motherhood truly give you the fuel to do things you never thought you could, the impossible suddenly becomes possible and that is the greatest gift your baby gives you. Thank you Nai Nai, I owe it all to you!
