November Babies: Embracing the Charms of Autumn Births

I can’t believe November is here already! Along with cosy blankets, hot chocolate, and the anticipation of the festive season, it’s also a month filled with birthday celebrations. As someone who has both a brother and a cousin born in November, I know firsthand how special this time of year is for welcoming little ones into the world. The crisp air, falling leaves, and festive atmosphere create a magical backdrop for November babies, making their arrival truly memorable.

If you’re expecting a November baby, or if you’re celebrating one, you’re in for a treat!

Let’s explore some fascinating traits that make November babies truly unique!

1. Passionate and Intense (Scorpio Influence)

Babies born between November 1st and November 21st fall under the zodiac sign Scorpio. Known for their passion and intensity, Scorpios are deeply emotional and intuitive. November-born Scorpios often possess a strong will and are not afraid to pursue their desires. Their fierce loyalty to loved ones and their ability to empathize with others set them apart, making them compassionate and loving individuals. They are often seen as natural leaders who inspire those around them.

2. Adventurous and Optimistic (Sagittarius Influence)

For those born between November 22nd and November 30th, Sagittarius is their guiding zodiac sign. Sagittarians are known for their adventurous spirit and optimistic outlook on life. November babies with this influence tend to be curious and open-minded, always eager to explore new ideas and experiences. This adventurous nature often leads them to seek out opportunities and embrace change, making them adaptable and enthusiastic about life.

3. Birthstone: Topaz and Citrine

November babies are fortunate to have two beautiful birthstones: topaz and citrine. Topaz, with its rich hues ranging from golden yellow to deep blue, is a symbol of love and affection. It’s believed to bring strength and protection to those born in November. Citrine, on the other hand, is associated with joy, abundance, and positive energy. This vibrant gemstone is said to promote motivation and creativity, making it a wonderful symbol for November-born individuals. Together, these gemstones represent the warmth and vitality of autumn, enhancing the unique qualities of November babies.

4. Strong-willed and Determined

November babies often exhibit a remarkable sense of determination from an early age. Their strong personalities and resilience allow them to tackle challenges head-on. Whether they’re navigating through school or life’s obstacles, they tend to approach tasks with a focused mindset. This determination can inspire those around them and encourage their peers to strive for excellence.

5. Highly Creative

November babies are often gifted with a creative spark. Their imaginations run wild, leading them to explore various forms of artistic expression, whether it be through art, writing, or music. This creativity can be traced back to their strong emotional connections, allowing them to channel their feelings into unique and beautiful creations. As parents, you might find yourself amazed by the imaginative projects your little November-born brings to life.

6. Deeply Empathetic

Those born in November tend to possess a deep sense of empathy, making them incredibly understanding and compassionate individuals. This trait allows them to connect with others on a profound level and often leads to strong friendships and relationships throughout their lives. November babies are usually seen as confidants among their peers, providing support and understanding whenever it’s needed.

7. Lovers of the Outdoors

November babies are often drawn to the beauty of nature, especially during the fall months. With the colourful foliage and cooler temperatures, they tend to enjoy outdoor activities, whether it’s hiking, playing in the leaves, or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air. This connection to nature often fosters a sense of appreciation for the world around them and can lead to a lifelong love of outdoor adventures.

Celebrate Your November Baby

November babies are truly special, with a unique blend of traits that make them stand out. From their passion and creativity to their empathetic nature, they have a lot to offer the world.

As you prepare to welcome or celebrate your November baby, consider capturing their essence through newborn photography. Every stage of their journey, from those first sleepy days to their vibrant personalities, deserves to be celebrated and cherished forever.

It’s been 4 days since Milk Tales was released… and I’m honestly so happy.

This book has always been about more than just pages, it’s about stories that matter. And seeing it out there, finally, is a dream came true. 

Have you read it yet? Did a particular story stay with you?

Or is Milk Tales a book you’d be interested in? 

Let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear. 🤍

I jumped on a spontaneous live today, because sometimes, why not?

And I had the best reason for it… to talk about Milk Tales. 🙌🏻

This book means the world to me, and sharing it live (even with wobbly nerves and unbrushed hair!) felt right.

So grateful for everyone who tuned in and cheered me on, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you are interested in the book, the link is in my bio or DM me and I'll send it to you.
What if one book could say: “I see you. I’ve been there”?

I haven’t been posting much lately, because behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring all my energy into something that truly matters to me.

The book is finally done. Uploaded. Ready.

But this phase? It’s a different kind of work.

Now, I’m reaching out. Emailing, writing, pitching, trying to place this book into hands and platforms that could really help share it.

Because I believe in it.

Not for me, but for the voices within it.

Milk Tales isn’t just a book.

It’s a mirror for mothers who felt unseen.

A space for stories that deserve to be heard.

So no, I’m not “doing it all.” (Also becasue I have my business to run)

But I’m doing what matters, with heart.

🤍
P.S. If you know someone who might want to feature, share, or support this project, I’d love to connect.
After three rounds of printing...

three envelopes opened with hope...

and three quiet disappointments!

I almost didn’t film this one.

But I did.

Because this time, it felt different.

The small tweaks, the colours, the paper, 
they’re still not exactly how I envisioned them.

The photo quality isn’t perfect.

But the message they carry? That part is.

And that’s what matters most.

It took four proofs.

Four rounds of edits, questions, and “maybe this isn’t ready.”

Still seen through a critical lens…

but this time, I finally let myself feel it: Pride.

Milk Tales is a book made with love, with stories that deserve to be seen.

And releasing it during World Breastfeeding Week couldn’t feel more right.

✨ Available from the 1st of August.

I can’t wait to share it with you.
