Helpful Items for New Mums

When you enter motherhood, the list of responsibilities you need to face day to day can seem endless. As mention in this post entitled There is Nothing ‘Just’ About Being a Mum, mothers need to make a number of huge decisions for their children, including what to feed them, what to dress them in, and where to take them. Though these responsibilities can seem overwhelming, there are still ways you can make each task more manageable.

For one, if you’re expecting, it can help to sit down and take the time to identify what you need to buy for your baby. Buying the essentials before your due date will take a huge weight off your mind, and your future self will thank you for not needing to add shopping to your already packed schedule. Aside from the usual nappies, clothes, and bottles, here are some suggestions of products a new mum will need:

Toddler Crafts | Snow Scene Jar

This morning we made snow scene jars and Darcie enjoyed it so much that I thought I would share the idea on here too. I’ve seen pictures of similar jars on Pinterest but I’ve never seen it recommended as a toddler craft activity before. I love doing any crafts with Darcie but my favourite ones are definitely the ones that I end up wanting to display around the house. You could even use these jars as Christmas presents too, that’s how cute they look!

Gift Guide 2021 | For the Grown Ups

Following on from my last post Gift Guide 2021 | For The Kids, it seemed only fair to do one for the grown ups too. 9 times out of 10 I would say grown ups are SO much harder to buy for than children, so I hope this guide can provide some helpful ideas for you. I’m also sharing gift ideas over on Instagram so if you don’t already, head over there and keep an eye on my stories. (more…)

Gift Guide 2021 | For The Kids

Christmas shopping – some of us love it and some of us hate it, but we all have one thing in common, we all have to do it! I’m definitely team love it, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy, and some years I find it particularly hard. As my children are getting older I find it easier in the sense that they have their own interests, but also harder for the fact that it starts to feel like ‘surely we already own everything?!’. Anyway, to help anyone struggling this year, I have put together this Christmas Gift Guide, there are some well known names in here and some lesser known ones too. I hope it is helpful, and if you do buy anything from my recommendation I would love it if you let me know over on Instagram. (more…)

To The Mum Who Has Lost Herself

To the mum who has lost herself,

I hope you’re okay. I’m writing this today because I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve been in that place where I feel I’ve given everything to my children and had nothing left for myself. I’ve sat, and cried because I didn’t even know who I was anymore. But I’m here to tell you that it can get better, it does get better. (more…)

There Is Nothing ‘Just’ About Being A Mum

Whenever anyone asks me what I do I say ‘Oh, I’m just a mum’. As if there needs to be more to it than that. As if being a mum isn’t a valid use of my time and energy. Why do I do it? I don’t know, but I do know that it’s not just me. I’ve heard countless other women say it too. So this is to all of them, to me, to you, to anyone who needs to know that there is nothing ‘just’ about motherhood –
