‘Music can change the world’ Music. It can’t cure illness, but it can change the world -through sparking joy, love, interaction and pain relief. Music therapy changed Lily’s world and ours. It gave her so much joy, ways to communicate us and memories we will carry for a lifetime without her. That is why we…
This little bit of feedback made us cry and also smile as well. We love that the beautiful quality of the @tiny_tones Music therapy kits make them family heirlooms and a part of a legacy. We know first hand that the warmth and touch of the wooden sound making instruments make them seem to to vibe with a life of their own. Their smooth edges infused with the spirit of the little soul that first touched them. #darlingsiblings

The incredible @timeless_flames is shutting their doors and off on another adventure. Over the last couple of years they have supported our fund and the much needed money has helped us to extend our program to children in pediatric palliative care, including towards our music therapy education programs and facilitating our purchase of printing and bags for our music therapy kits. We have adored the beautiful products and will be sad to see this business close down. Please head over to @timeless_flames for their closing down sale. Now on xoxox

Our music therapy partnership with the incredible @tiny_tones has been running for over a year. Since we started we have reached almost every pediatric palliative care facility in Australia - and we have even begun partnering in New Zealand. 💕 The kits are carefully selected for their music therapy making ability and sent to Pediatric Hospices and major childrens Hospitals in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and NZ. You can find our kits @rchmelbourne @sydneykidshospital @westmeadkids @veryspecialkids @bear_cottage @hummingbirdhousebrisbane @queenslandchildrenshospital @raukataurimusictherapycentre and more. You can support this program by purchasing from @tiny_tones where a percentage of every sale is donated towards the kits. Please also keep your eyes out for a fundraiser coming soon to help us buy more kits!
Charlotte is the mother of twins Greer and Tavish. She shares raw insights that do not sugar coat the reality of parenting a child with a complex medical condition.
‘Firstly, let me apologise, if you’re here looking for a glimmer of hope or a message of someone who is thriving despite having a medically complex child with a life-limiting condition, this is most probably not going to be that.
If I had sat down to write this about a month and a half ago, it would’ve read differently, but in this sea of grief that has become our collective existence I’m currently riding a BIG sad wave, and I’m coming crashing down to be catapulted onto a damp sandy shore, wet, cold, spluttering trying not to choke on salt. You see, my beautiful girl has recently stopped eating – she’s “nil by mouth” – and eating had been such a large source of pleasure in her life.’

Happy father’s day to all the Dads
Four years of missing kissing these cheeks. We are proud of Lily’s legacy and all we have achieved in her name, helping thousands of families in pediatric palliative care + children with life limiting disabilities. But what we would give for just one more kiss. Hold your family extra tight today. And consider making a donation at the link in bio. #lilyslegacy
Today we received some gorgeous photos from Cameron’s mother. Cameron received one of the first sets of our new music therapy kits, while on respite at Bear Cottage Children’s Hospice in NSW.
It made us well up (I ugly cried) 😭 seeing Lily’s musical magic being spread far and wide. This is exactly how we imagined our MT kits being used. Thank you, thank you thank you , to all of you who have helped get us here 🙏🏽
Lily’s MT kits is a national program aimed at sparking moments of musical joy for children in pediatric palliative care. Check out our website and @tiny_tones blog for more info. Or DM us!
