Renee MelizzaRenée Melizza, creator of dear_darling_xo on Instagram, is a first-time mum who lives in South Australia with her husband and toddler. Renée truly believes; The best things in life are free. Laughter and dance are medicine. Gratitude makes your heartfull. Everything comes to light when you write. To be unapologetically you, in this one life and that motherhood has been the incredible new chapter she didn't know she needed so much. Sentimental, goofy and down to earth, Renée has always loved writing, but discovered her love for writing poetry during those middle-of-the-night feeds, which is how 'dear darling, a book about gratitude', was born. Renée writes honest and empowering poetry and musings on motherhood, in the hope that other mothers feel supported and less alone in the crazy, beautiful chaos.
