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.
