Hello.
H&M would love you to tell them about those little moments, when you’ve seen life through your child’s eyes – and stopped worrying so much as a result, and you could win a £200 H&M voucher for telling them.
Share those little moments when you’ve been caught up in the rush and stress and rush of parenting life and your child has done or said something that’s made you take a deep breath and stop to really appreciate the little joys in life. Maybe your child decided to dress themselves in their favourite costume for the day, or perhaps they decided to share a treat with you: something small that made you smile...
H&M says “H&M’s membership helps spread little moments of joy, by rewarding members with points for every purchase, which convert into money off vouchers. There’s also free delivery when you spend £20 or more, as H&M Members always get more!”.
To be in with a chance of winning the £200 H&M voucher, scroll to the text box at the bottom of this page, and tell H&M all about when you’ve seen life through your child’s eyes, and your child has done or said something, that’s made you stop worrying so much.
Everyone who posts and answers the question fully, will be entered into a prize draw to win the £200 H&M voucher.
We'll keep this thread open until 25/3/21, and we'll announce the winner's name a few days later.
Good luck!

I took a break from my laptop and came downstairs to my partner and my little girl and heard a huge MAMA. I went and sat next to my little one and heard 'mamma mmmm' as she went to give me a huge kiss. We sat down to play together as a family and my little one showed the best sharing she ever has. We were all sat playing for hours and I didn't think about work once. Probably not best for my workload but in those hours I forgot about all my worries and realised how lucky I was. A happy and healthy family is all that matters to me, work gets done, it always does but these are the moments I'll treasure forever.
As a consequence if I'm ever having a rubbish day at work I just make a little countdown in my head until I can pick my little one up and see that infectious smile she has.
But one moment that has stuck with me was when we took our son to florida in 2017. He was 3 years old without a care in the world. It felt extra magical and felt like i was back for the first time. This time was different. It was the perspective of seeing it through my sons eyes, lapping up the magic in the air. It's like worries melted away when he smiled and just for then, i lived in the moments with my son.
We go back to florida in July but for the first time as a family of 4 and i hope i can set my stresses to the side to feel the magic once more.
My little girl looked at me and said “don’t worry mummy, we can get clean” and she kissed me and she looked at her baby brother and said “don’t be sad Roo” Not long after this she said “I just love you mummy”. I realise I have such a caring, thoughtful little girl and even though sometimes sanity is lost, these little ones have the ability to fill our hearts with so much fun and love 😍🙌🏻🥰❤️
As an example, the other day,we were discussing what classes, sports and activities we thought our son may enjoy doing. I said to my husband "I think he would enjoy martial arts, like karate" and suddenly our son came running in with his soft toy of Marshall from Paw Patrol and his paints, and he shouted out "This is Marshall, let's do some art with him"!!! We chuckled for a long time.
I am a new first-time mum of a three month old and I must admit it has been challenging to say the least but one of the many things that made my heart jump was yesterday she giggled for the first time and honestly I can’t believe how much I love my little girl. It was a moment that brought a tear to my eye.
