About Mm is for me
The idea behind Mm is for me began when I was looking for unique first birthday gifts. I started to design personalised shirts and it has grown and developed and now includes fun learning for little ones.  When I started looking for a wall alphabet with lower case letters and couldn’t find one, I thought it was time to start designing!

Of course everyone learns in different ways, but interaction with print and sounds at a young age can help start the ball rolling.  Each picture in the letter begins with the same sound as the letter, so giraffes are for Gemma’s G, but not for Gabby’s G, and acorns are for Ava and but don’t make the sound for Anna’s A. The Mm is for me alphabet has been designed in collaboration with experienced teachers.

There are also interesting facts to be found along the way for general knowledge. This also helps create awareness for our indigenous endangered animals, like the numbat and quoll.

I hope you enjoy the letters as I much as I have enjoyed designing them for you! 

About me
I am a mum and an interior designer. I grew up in Zimbabwe and studied and worked for five years in South Africa. I then moved to Australia where I met my husband, who grew up in Zimbabwe too. We have lived in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast, and have also spent two years on a cattle and grain property in Central Queensland.  We are now living on a farm on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Our son William is two years old and I run my business from home. I have a BA Hons in Interior Design. I have drawn on my experiences in Africa and Australia, in design and in working with children. 

You are welcome to shop online or make a time to come visit us on the farm!

    Oh, Ash! Thanks so much for adding me to your blogroll! I am so flattered. A-M at The house that A-M Built has done it as well. You are so sweet. I have so much to learn but have already made it to 31 ‘public followers’ in a month – it’s lovely to know that people are interested out there. Now, I’d better reply to your email about the slippers.
    Have a great day!

    Oh hurrah! I found your blog popped up on google just when I had put my bubs down for a (ahem) sleep (not) and while waiting for the glue gun to heat up! :)
