Mum Revelations - Renee Lee

1. Where do I reside

In 2011 I am living at New Brighton in Northern NSW with my family for the year.

2. What is special about where we live.

We live on 1/2 an acre across the road from the beach. Life is very relaxed here and the kids can play in the back yard every afternoon and on weekends ,and they get the chance to grow up like I did, riding bikes and making shops and bike jumps in the back yard. I love the small community feel of New Brighton and I feel very spoilt to be living across the road from the beach and being able to walk on it regularly.

3. How did I get my business started.

I have been thinking about starting Little Mouse Brown since my youngest daughter was born. I have always found there is a large gap in children's clothing for ages 8 - 12. I have been stock piling design ideas for years!! My youngest daughter is now 5 and at school so last year I decided that I might have the time for this business so I took my ideas off to a pattern maker and away I went.....

4. What is your favourite childhood memory.

Making cubby houses with my brothers in the back yard.

5. What are some memories that you would like to create for your children.

I like to spend as much time with them as I can so hopefully the will look back and remember sharing time with my husband and myself  at the beach, playing in the backyard, riding to the shop to buy bread , milk and lollies!! and teaching them to cook.

6. Who inspires you?

My parents because they have always worked very hard whilst retaining a wonderful sense of family and my Husband because he is so positive and always encourages me to try new things.

7. Describe your perfect day.

My perfect day .......   waking up to a beautiful sunny day in late summer early autumn and going for a walk on the beach with my husband, cooking the kids pancakes for breakfast and then riding to the shop as a family to buy the newspaper , coffee and letting the kids choose a lolly each. Then returning home to read the papers while the kids play in the yard. Having lunch as a family and then heading to the beach for the afternoon and boogie boarding with the kids and then coming home and sharing a bottle of wine with my husband while we cook seafood paella as a family...... my perfect day!

8. Favourite Holiday Destination.

New York and Moreton Island!! Total contrast but both wonderful places to be.

9. What are some of your favourite items that you cannot live without

Some of my vintage dresses, A White Lace "Lover" Dress, My " Karen Walker" Trench coat, Moroccan Oil for my Hair, Botanicals vitamin C serum for my face at night, My apple computer and my new canon camera.

10. What is my favourite product for kids and why.

"Milk" sun-cream. We have to apply sun-cream every day and its non greasy, moisturising, smells nice and it really does protect them from getting burnt when they are at the beach.....

11. What is one product that you bought that you did not need but just had to have.

An apple Ipad.

12. Your favourite children's fashion label.

Little Mouse Brown of course!!

13. What is your families favourite meal.

Green Chicken Curry

14. Are you a fashion Conscious Mother? If so what is your favourite label.

I love fashion and I have 2 favourite labels. Lover and Karen Walker.

15. What is the best thing about being a mother.

Waking up to my 3 beautiful children every morning and loving them so much.


16. A favourite photo.

This is one of my favourite photos. It is a picture of me and my 3 children, Indee, Riley and Zaya. It was taken 2 1/2 years ago. We were at the weddings of one of my dearest friends and the 3 children were in the wedding party. I had my doubts whether they would all perform there duties on the day and they all did exactly what was asked of them. Phil and I were so proud!

Thank you for sharing Renee. x
