So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellbeing.com.au\/curious\/slow-travel-like-a-local\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buying a van and travelling<\/a> to find waves became an all-consuming pastime of ours. The freedom of having a full tank of petrol and a van packed with boards is hard to beat.<\/p>\n<p>We moved to Australia six years ago with no more than the backpacks on our backs. Our first purchase was an old Toyota HiAce with a pop top to get out and explore the incredible east coast of Australia. We traded our beloved van for a family car when we had our first child Flynn (there were tears), and now with three young kids we get our freedom from days at the beach, playing in the ocean and teaching the little ones to surf.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2L9cF-n5G5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2L9cF-n5G5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Warren Hill \ud83c\udf3f Linen Play Mats (@mywarrenhill)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Talk us through the moment you decided to create your beautiful playmats and launch Warren Hill.<\/h2>\n<p>To be honest we never imagined ourselves getting into a business selling playmats, but we had always wanted to start our own business and were (and still are) constantly bombarding our friends with business ideas, gauging their reactions and usually figuring out they were too complex to get going. So when this simple idea hit us, one that filled a genuine need in the market and that we were strangely passionate about, we committed 100 per cent to it.<\/p>\n<p>Warren Hill started as a casual conversation with our good friends Matt and Lara. We were on the floor playing with our kids and the conversation turned to playmats and how it was impossible to find a high-quality playmat that wasn\u2019t covered in rainbow colours and cartoons. We wanted a playmat that looked like it was part of our home decor rather than jar horribly against it \u2014 you wouldn\u2019t buy a couch with a massive cartoon frog on it, so why should a playmat be any different?<\/p>\n<p>A lot of baby products at the time were things that, if you were having guests over, you\u2019d hide away in a cupboard. We wanted a playmat that you were proud to have out in your living room. I can still remember sitting on Lara\u2019s floor as she said, \u201cYou guys should make one.\u201d<br \/>\nSo with a little bit of money that we were saving up for a trip back to England to see the grandparents, we committed to getting some samples made and from that point on the wheels were in motion and it was too late to stop!<\/p>\n<h2>How do you get your linen so soft and luxurious?<\/h2>\n<p>Our linen is really some of the softest we\u2019ve come across. It\u2019s a high-quality 100 per cent flax linen grown in the fields of France. Before being sewn into the playmats, it\u2019s stone-washed (literally washed with stones), which gives it a soft, worn texture rather than the coarse texture linen can sometimes be known for. One of the best things about linen is that it gets softer the more it\u2019s used and washed, so instead of degrading in quality, it actually gets better.<\/p>\n<h2>Tell us what influences your designs and colours.<\/h2>\n<p>One thing that definitely doesn\u2019t influence our colours is gender. It was another reason we wanted to create our own playmats \u2014 to have colours that were gender neutral. The idea of blue for boys and pink for girls is something we try to completely distance ourselves from. The colours are really inspired firstly by nature \u2014 they\u2019re all soft, neutral tones that wouldn\u2019t look out of place anywhere outdoors \u2014 and secondly by interior design. We love clean, minimal, open spaces (difficult with three kids!) and we always try to imagine our mats in those spaces as a statement piece.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B5otrzEnuRO\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B5otrzEnuRO\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Warren Hill \ud83c\udf3f Linen Play Mats (@mywarrenhill)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>What are you doing to minimise the environmental impact of your brand?<\/h2>\n<p>We are very aware that running a business and creating a product has an impact on the earth. It\u2019s something we think about a lot and it drives us to do business in the most responsible way we can. One of the first things we did as a business was partner with Trees for the Future to plant 10 trees for every playmat we sell. Trees for the Future is a brilliant charity that works with some of the poorest people in the world to help them plant trees, which provides a livelihood for them through their forest garden program.<\/p>\n<p>We are also very wary of any excess packaging and when you buy a playmat from us, it comes packaged in a linen dust bag and posted in a compostable mailer. The thank you card is recycled and compostable so there is zero waste delivered to your door.<\/p>\n<p>Another big thing for us is that our playmats are not disposable baby items with a short lifespan. As babies change and grow so fast, there are very few baby items you will continue to use for years after your baby is born. Our youngest (Lily) is now 18 months old and our playmats are still a staple part of our living room, not just to sit on, but to get cosy under on the sofa or to lay out in the garden.<\/p>\n<h2>Talk us through your partnership with Trees for the Future.<\/h2>\n<p>Being a business that gives back is a value we regard very highly. We try to make sure our customers are treated as we would want to be treated and are buying from a business that we would want to buy from. This means putting others before profit and this was the reason we wanted to partner with a charity to make sure the impact we have as a business is a positive one, not just for our customers, but for the planet we all live on.<\/p>\n<p>Trees for the Future plants trees in a way that doesn\u2019t just improve the environment, but also helps end hunger and poverty for some of the poorest people in the world. The charity works with families to plant \u201cforest gardens\u201d that bring nutrients back to the soil, helping them grow a variety of fruits and vegetables that can be sold as well as eaten to give communities increased income and food security, all while improving the environment. We\u2019ve worked with them to plant just under 50,000 trees so far and we can\u2019t wait to plant a lot more.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3WNJyFnlaJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I feel uncomfortable giving advice as it\u2019s so different for every mum and it\u2019s a lot of figuring out as you go. I would say to not stress about all the things you think they need. Really all they need is cuddles. Sure, some things can make everything easier, but it\u2019s nothing you can\u2019t get once the baby is born. Just buy the basics and work from there.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I didn\u2019t research breastfeeding enough. I thought it would come naturally, but it certainly didn\u2019t and the one thing I would do differently if I were to be a new parent again is to ask questions and read more about it. It\u2019s good for dads to understand about it too so they can help support you if breastfeeding is the route you want to take.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A soon-to-be dad:<\/strong> You\u2019re about to go on the wildest ride you\u2019ve ever experienced\u2026 hold on!<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new mum:<\/strong> Listen to your intuition \u2014 nobody knows your baby like you do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new dad:<\/strong> Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help. Rightly so, most of the attention is given to new mums, but I think sometimes people forget to ask how the dads are doing. It\u2019s one of the biggest changes that will ever happen in your life and people will bend over backwards to help if you ask.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s next for Warren Hill?<\/h2>\n<p>Last year we had some really exciting new products lined up that got put on hold due to crazy COVID times. This year we want to build the trust we have with our customers and bring them some new products that are practical, high quality and look great.
