Hi I'm Linda from Hush Little Babe
Welcome to Hush Little Babe - A Haven for Love, Advocacy, and Dreams!
Hi I'm Linda, welcome to Hush Little Babe, a space born from passion, resilience, and a deep love for both motherhood and the well-being of women and children around the world.
About Me: As a mother of four, my journey to parenthood wasn't conventional. Being a cancer survivor faced with the challenges of infertility, my journey down the path of IVF and surrogacy taught me some invaluable lessons about strength, hope, and the beauty of unconventional families. My experiences ignited a flame within me to advocate for those facing similar struggles, leading me to become a voice for infertility awareness.
My perspective goes beyond the ordinary, and I've harnessed the rich tapestry of my experiences to create a boutique that not only celebrates the charm of babyhood but also champions the strength and diversity within every family.
Advocate and Warrior: In this life I wear many hats – a devoted mama and partner, a legal professional by background, owner and founder of Hush Little Babe and an advocate standing against domestic violence.
Lifes journeys have instilled in me a fierce commitment to raising awareness and fighting for the rights and safety of women and children. Through involvement in various charities, I strive to make a positive impact, creating a world where every child and woman can thrive.
Hush Little Babe's Birth: What once was a dream, Hush Little Babe is now my heart and soul. It's a place where passion meets purpose. Here, you'll find lots of treasures and keepsakes for your little ones, hand sewn linen made by us right here in our very own workshop, aswell as affordable baby essentials and a huge range of gifts for babies, mums and dads.
