Welcome to Darling Mellow

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I’m Mellow – a home-educating, coffee-fuelled, book-loving mum of two wildly curious girls (aged 9 and 11). Our days are filled with adventure, learning, and the occasional bit of chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Darling Mellow is my little corner of the internet, where I share the reality of parenting, home education, and family life with a touch of wit and warmth. Whether it’s finding the best learning resources, reviewing products that actually make life easier, or simply embracing the magic of raising kids outside the norm, you’ll find it all here.

If you love smart parenting, real-life home education tips, and honest recommendations (with a sprinkle of fun), you’re in the right place. Grab a cuppa and have a browse – welcome to the family!
