Putting the fun back into conceiving

Now I'm no expert (two kids does not a tribe make), but the good folks from Bayer and their media agency asked me to contribute to their fun free mini magazine "The Elevit With Iodine Guide To Conceiving". Ta da! Here it is in lovely glossy form:

There are some really fun ideas in the mini mag from 10 real Mums (and bloggers) that made me giggle. My contribution is a little tamer - you can read it here on Essential Baby. To launch the mini mag, Essential Baby hosted a morning tea at Centennial Parklands this morning, inviting their readers and their babies and the mini mag contributors and kids. I got to meet the lovely bloggers Kyla and Jody and enjoy the morning with the Mums. Look - there were massages!

And manicures!

And yummy morning tea...

And fairies, pirates, ladybugs and mermaid face painters:

And babysitters! (event organisers - take note - the Essential Baby marketing team know what they are doing!).

And a lovely goodie bag full of things to help along conception (luckily I'm not needing assistance - the shop is closed).

Thanks Bayer and Essential Baby! It was lovely to be involved in a fun project that I hope will give some couples reassurance, and maybe a bit of a helping hand too. You can read the mini mag here.  (note: this is not a sponsored post - I just really like the sentiment and sharing in this project).
