Ever feel like you’re juggling a million tabs open in your brain - and still forgetting something? That’s the mental load, Mama. It’s real, it’s exhausting, and you weren’t meant to carry it all alone. In this blog, I’m sharing practical ways to ease the overwhelm (think: quick wins, low-effort help from the kids, and nourishing snacks that support you too). You’ll find encouragement, simple ideas, and reminders that you’re already doing an amazing job - even on the messy days.

If you’ve ever found yourself googling how to boost milk supply at 3am with a baby latched to one side and a cold cup of tea on the other… you’re not alone, Mama.

It’s a common question:
“Do lactation products actually work?”

I managed to breastfeed Tommy for 22 months which is quite an achievement, and something I’m really proud of. I knew our journey was slowly coming to an end, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how it would happen....

Through all the ups and downs of breastfeeding, I’m so proud that I was able to create a Lactation Range to support other breastfeeding mamas. This was born out of the hard times I faced during my first and ongoing breastfeeding journeys (you can read about my first breastfeeding journey here), and it means so much to me to be able to help other mums feel supported. I love the beautiful community that’s growing, where mums can connect, feel less alone, and have nourishing snacks to fuel their bodies while they work so hard at making milk for their babies. Because, truly, it’s an incredible thing we do.

As a mama myself, I know how quickly we can put our own needs aside while caring for our little ones. But the truth is: self-care is key to being able to care for others. So, if you’re a breastfeeding mama (or know someone who is), let’s talk about ways to support and help you on this beautiful, but sometimes challenging, journey. 

Mama, you did it. You survived the school holidays! The school holidays can be a whirlwind. They are fun and chaotic, but also mentally and physically draining. And for some, they can be a little triggering— stretching us beyond our limits or simply leaving us feeling touched-out and overstimulated. But guess what? You got through it. And that deserves celebrating.

Now, as the kids settle back into school routines it’s time to carve out a little more you time—because you’ve earned it mama! Read on to find simple ways you can have time for yourself in your busy day!

When I was approaching my 40th birthday I was feeling quite down and emotional about it. (I don't know why, because I don't for any other birthdays but just because it was 40 I guess it made me think). I was thinking negatively about it in the way of oh man I am halfway to 80, gosh I am going to be so old when my kids have weddings, have children etc. (I have done parenthood later than my friends and these thoughts were making me feel down, guilty and upset). I was talking to a few friends in the lead up to my birthday and they put me right, they told me not to think that way and that it's just another year. This did put my mind at ease, I guess everyone just makes a comment about a 40th Birthday I was making it up to be something it really didn't need to be!
