What I Am Still Learning as a Mum of Tweens I thought the hard part was the newborn stage. The nappies. The night feeds. The chaos. But here I am, parenting two funny fierce complex girls and realising… I am still learning. Every single day. Motherhood did not stop evolving when they learned to tie their…

I did not plan to become a home educator. I planned on school runs, packed lunches, a quiet cup of tea once the house emptied. But plans change when your children are not thriving. And when your gut tells you the system is not serving them, you listen. So I quit. My job. The traditional school…

What Happens When Mums Burn Out? There is tired. And then there is burnt toast, blank stare, please do not ask me anything ever again tired. If you are a mum in 2025, you probably know the difference. Mum burnout is not about being dramatic. It is what happens when you keep giving, showing up, pushing through…

Can I Gift a House to My Child? You have raised them, loved them, fed them roughly 12 thousand times, and now you are wondering... can I gift them my house too? The short answer is yes.

We have solved wardrobe crises, located missing book bags, mediated sibling…

Somewhere between the last Barbie phase and their first eye-roll lies the mysterious realm of the tween years - that emotionally chaotic no man’s land between childhood and teenagehood. If you’re a mum staring down the barrel of a 10th birthday candle, grab a cuppa, because I’m about to spill the tea on everything I…

Mum, It’s Not Just You There’s a fresh new wave of parenting crashing through the mum-sphere right now. It’s bold, it’s slightly sweary, and frankly, it’s bloody brilliant. Say hello to FAFO Parenting – short for “F**k Around and Find Out”. Yes, really. Before you clutch your pearls or draft a letter to Ofsted, let…

The Moment You Realised You Were Disappearing It’s subtle at first. You swap your name for “Mummy” without thinking. Your hobbies shrink down to children’s crafts. Your Google search history becomes a shrine to other people’s needs. Then one day, standing in front of a mirror, you catch a glimpse of a woman you barely…

You Know the Feeling You know those days where you feel like you’ve done everything, but nothing shows for it? You didn’t sit down. You didn’t stop thinking. And yet, somehow, there are still socks under the sofa, mystery crumbs in your bra, and nobody seems to know when the last time the fish got…
