Wriggle and Rhyme

17 Years of Singing, Shaking & Smiling –  A Momtrepreneur’s Musical Milestone!

Seventeen years ago, armed with a tambourine, a nappy bag, and a whole lot of heart, I launched a little baby and toddler music programme from my living room. What started as a fun way to bond with my own toddler and contribute to our household income has grown into a vibrant, joy-filled community of families singing, giggling, wriggling, and growing together. Back then, I had no idea that a few musical instruments and some musical creativity could change my life. I was a new(ish) mom keen to be based at home but needing to contribute financially.  I wanted something playful, purposeful, and flexible enough to work around nap schedules and school runs. So I created it – and Wriggle and Rhyme was born. Seventeen years on, I’ve had the absolute joy of watching thousands of little ones discover the magic of music – shaking their shakers, tapping their toes, and beaming with pride as they learn and grow. I’ve seen moms, dads, grannies, and nannies light up during classes, finding connection not just with their child, but with each other. It hasn’t all been lullabies and finger puppets – running a business while raising a family is no small feat! But every smile, every “again!” from a toddler, and every message from a parent saying how much their child loves music reminds me why I started. My toddler that started the Wriggle and Rhyme journey with me is called Nathan, and he’s just about to finish matric.  He has blossomed into an accomplished drummer himself. What an exciting and incredible musical adventure it’s been! The BABY and TODDLER programme has grown from strength-to-strength and mushroomed into a PRE-SCHOOLERS programme now too.   What an absolute privilege to share my passion for music education with so many children over the years! Wriggle and Rhyme’s is taught now by a team of gentle, friendly and fun teachers.  You can meet them HERE. So here’s to 17 more years of songs, stories, sticky fingers and full brain workouts.  To all the families who’ve wriggled and rhymed with us over the years – thank you. You’ve made this journey one big, beautiful, musical adventure. And guess what? We’re just getting started. Keep wriggling, keep rhyming – the best is yet to come!

Putting together your birth plan

As you enter your third trimester you’ll have probably done a fair bit of research on the birth process (if this is your first) and may have a good idea of what you want before, during and after delivery. There are many options and opinions, from whether or not you want pain medication to how many people you would like supporting you. However, trying to keep track of your choices during labour may be tricky, which is why you’d put together a birth plan. So what exactly is it and how do you put one together? Why should I put together a birth plan?  Your birth plan is your choices or preferences before, during and after labour and delivery. While things may not always go according to plan, having your preferences written down and communicated means you, your midwives and doctor have a more mutual understanding. However, if your pregnancy doesn’t go accordingly, you need to be prepared to make adjustments on the day. What should be in my birth plan? Your birth plan is how you’d like everything would go in the best-case scenario. Your birth plan will also have to take into consideration what is available at the hospital or place where you are giving birth. Some birth plans are very basic, just outlining a simple overview, whereas others may be far more detailed and in-depth. The choice is yours. Typically a birth plan will include before, during and after labour and birth preferences. Such as who you want to assist you during birth, whether or not you want any pain medication,  you birthing positions, and requests for newborn care, such as skin-to-skin time. How can I learn more about the birth process?  If you feel like you need to top up your birthing knowledge before putting together a plan they are a few ways you can go about this. Joining antenatal classes are a good way to learn more and to meet other women in your position. Chatting to friends or family who has been through the birthing process themselves is another good way to see what would work best for you. If you and your partner are having a baby together, keep them in the loop as well. Find out what they expect during labour and you can chat about what you want, and what role you see them playing in the process.

Embracing the Journey: Puberty, Periods & the Period Support Gift Set

Growing up is a beautiful journey, and one of the most important milestones in a girl’s life is the beginning of her menstrual cycle. While this transition into womanhood can feel exciting, it may also bring uncertainty, new emotions, and physical changes. That’s why understanding your body — and having the right support — makes all the difference. At Aphrodite’s Garden, we created the Period Support Gift Set to nurture tweens and teens through this special stage. But before we explore what’s inside, let’s talk about the signs of puberty, PMS, and the first menstrual cycle. Signs of Puberty: What to Expect Puberty usually begins between ages 8 and 13, though it can vary. Here are some common changes young girls may notice: These are all natural signs that the body is preparing for menstruation. Signs of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) PMS can begin even before a girl’s first period and often shows up a few days before bleeding starts. Common symptoms include: Knowing these signs helps girls understand that their period is on its way, giving them time to prepare emotionally and physically. Signs of the First Period (Menarche) The first menstrual bleed — called menarche — usually happens about 2–3 years after breast development begins. Signs that the first bleed may be approaching include: When the first bleed arrives, it may be light spotting or a gentle flow. Having pads and supportive care ready makes this experience more comfortable and empowering. The Aphrodite’s Garden Period Support Gift Set To ease this journey, we designed a nurturing all-in-one bundle: This set is more than just products — it’s a thoughtful introduction to womanhood that combines comfort, care, and confidence. Why This Matters Periods should never feel shameful or scary. With the right knowledge, tools, and care, girls can embrace this natural transition with confidence. The Period Support Gift Set makes the perfect first-period gift or care package, not only easing physical discomfort but also helping young women understand and celebrate the changes in their bodies.
