My full name is…
Helena Jones.
But my friends call me…
Nina.
I grew up…
New Zealand by the sea.
My bedroom window…
Depending on where I wake up... I see the sand dunes or big trees.
My favourite place in the world is…
A small town on the west side of Kauai.
You will usually find me…
Outside in the garden with my son.
My favourite start to the day is…
A slow wake up, fruit and a swim.
I am where I am today because of…
My parents and the freedom and inspiration they gave me.
Before I became a mother, I was…
A teacher hanging out with other people’s babies.
Right now I am…
I am content.
In the future I hope to…
Have more love, balance and adventure.
I find inspiration from…
Nature and the people around me.
I feel proud of…
Myself and the mother that I am.
I am my happiest when…
Swimming.
I relax when…
The house is tidy.
My favourite snack is…
Fruit.
My favourite colour is…
Yellow.
I love listening to…
My son squeal and chat.
My favourite thing to do with child is…
To roam and go for walks collecting and observing.
My favourite childhood memory…
Going under the big waves with my dad and the peace and security he always gave.
I am grateful for…
My family and life and lifestyle I have been able to live.
I am looking forward to…
Watching my family grow and getting to know the little person my son will be.
