About Me — The Mum Behind Green Cheeks

Hello! I’m Lianne — founder, designer, packer, customer service, photographer, stock checker, and chief snack provider… the entire one-Mum band behind Green Cheeks.

Thank you so much for being here.


🌱 How It All Started

Green Cheeks began in 2020, when my son was two years old and knee-deep in toddlerhood.
Like a lot of mums, I was juggling laundry, sleepless nights, endless snacks, and a deep desire to make more eco-friendly choices for our family.

Cloth nappies were a huge part of that journey for us, but I struggled to find options that were:

  • bright

  • fun

  • high-quality

  • and actually worked

So I created my own.
Green Cheeks was born from our spare room, piles of fabric, toddler toys under my feet, and a lot of late-night Googling.


🎒 Growing With My Family

As my son grew, so did Green Cheeks.

New phases of our life inspired new products:

  • Swimming lessons → Wet bags

  • Starting school → Water bottles and backpacks

  • Day trips and adventures → Changing bags and travel bags

Every product you see in the store exists because we personally needed it first.

My business has grown alongside my child — and that’s my favourite part.


🎨 What Makes Green Cheeks Different

I don’t mass-produce anything.
I don’t hold hundreds of units.
I don’t chase trends.

Instead, Green Cheeks focuses on:

Exclusive, colourful prints
Small batch production
Made-to-order items
Practical products for real families
Quality that lasts
A personal touch in every order

I run Green Cheeks with the same energy I run my home — organised chaos, heart-first decisions, and a commitment to doing things right.


💚 A One-Mum Business (and Proud)

People sometimes expect Amazon-level speed…
but this is a mum-run business, not a warehouse with a forklift. 😅

What I can promise you is:

  • Good communication

  • Honest timelines

  • Tracked shipping

  • Products made with love

  • Care and attention in every detail

And no robots — unless you count the washing machine.


🌍 Why I Do This

I want families to feel:

  • confident using reusable products

  • excited about colourful prints

  • supported by products that make family life easier

  • proud to shop small and sustainably

This business supports my little family, and your orders help me continue creating beautiful, useful things for yours.


💌 Thank You for Being Here

Every time you order, share a photo, or tell a friend about Green Cheeks, you support a real mum building a business from her dining table.

It means more than you know.

If you ever need help, advice, or just a friendly chat — I’m always here.
