Sarah Chippindale Civil Celebrant

Happy Birthday, Baby! 🎉

Seven years ago today, I became your mum… something I will be forever grateful for.

That means Sadie Alexandra has spent 2,557 days in our universe, filling them with more love than I ever thought possible.

I will always protect you, cheer you on, and love you fiercely, my beautiful big girl.

💗

* And a very special mention to our anonymous donor. Days like today remind me just how grateful I am for the incredible gift you gave us. Because of you, we get to celebrate this beautiful little human and all the happiness she brings to our lives every single day. Thank you will never be enough. 😭

One year ago today, this beautiful boy ran 50km for me to raise money and awareness for MS. It was one of the most selfless, incredible things anyone has ever done for me, and I’ll never forget it. 😭

This year, he was getting ready to do something big again. But life had other plans. A few months ago, his beautiful mum Mezzy was diagnosed with MND.

Mezzy has been part of my life for a very long time and someone who has always been in my corner.

She is one in a zillion.

So instead of the story being about me this year, we’re changing the narrative and putting all our love, energy and support behind Mezzy.

We are fighting for her. And giving it our all…

Life can change so fast although it doesn’t change the amount of love we all share for one another.

I love you both so much. 😭

Usually the surprise is the engagement ring… but Aaron had one more surprise up his sleeve 🥹💍

Tay had never seen her wedding ring until the moment he placed it on her finger at the ceremony.

This was so special and something I have never experienced before… 😭
The look on her face said absolutely everything 🤍

I love that even in weddings, there are still moments that completely catch people off guard in the best possible way.

Congratulations again … 🥰🥰

While driving down to Wollongong to marry these two, everyone was trying to get me tickets to

The joke was even made that I could stop their wedding if I made it to the top of the queue. 😂

Thank you for the best day. And thank you for making me feel part of the family xx

Who is next? 😂

We had a beautiful elopement in the studio at today.

The best thing I ever did was buy my wife a camera!

I cannot wait to share more from today…

WATCH THIS SPACE…. 🤩

Mother’s Day 2026. 🥰

To my own mumma Hen, there are not enough words. You know how I feel about you. You are amazing.

And to my wife. You really are the glue to the family. As cliche as that sounds. You really are. Not just in the bigger moments… but the smaller ones too. All the little things that you don’t think I notice.

You remember the kids drink bottles and always make sure they have their favourite toys when we leave the house. You are the best Mimi. And the girls are so lucky to have you.

And Happy Mother’s Day to the mums doing their absolute best every single day.

To the step mums, bonus mums, foster mums, grandmas, aunties, carers and the women who mother through love, not just biology.

To the dads doing both roles.
To the people longing to become parents.
To those who have lost their babies.
To the ones navigating loss, grief, complicated relationships or empty arms today.
And to the mums watching over us from the stars above.

Every single one of you deserve a special moment today.

Not all heroes wear capes but being a mother is something else…

Also. We saved a puppy from getting hit on Nelson Bay Road Today. We were late for brunch but thank you for the cuddles Bella (last photo for reference) 🐶

SURPRISE…. 🥰

Chrissy and Mitch…

The best elopement…. The two of them, their babies… you really cannot beat 20 years together and that much love!!

Also, they got married the day turned 30 plus a few. 😉
