I love September, as it approaches it always feels like a fresh start for me, like a better version of the new year - as the sun is sometimes still shining!

You’ll often find lots of chat about
“getting back to normal”.

Back to school. Back to work.
Back to routines. Back to real life.

But if you’ve had a baby this summer, there probably isn’t really a “back” to anything.

Whether it’s your first baby or not, you’re most likely right in the middle of figuring out a whole new version of normal.

So while everyone else starts talking about routines and fresh starts, please don’t feel like you should be ready too.

Stay in that newborn bubble for as long as you need to.

And when you start to feel like you want and need a little more connection in your days, I’ll be here.

If September feels like it might be your time,
my next Baby Massage term starts on the 16th.

And if that still feels a little soon,
the November term is open for booking too. 💛

Yeah I know I know, SO painfully late to this trend that it’s defo not trending anymore.

BUT, I’ve never let being late stop me from doing anything (just as well really 🤪)

So with August drawing to a close, it seemed like a bit of fun to reflect on what I’ve found ‘Kinda Chic’ about this summer.

Would love to know yours??

6- 14 months,
the messy middle of baby classes 🤣

That mostly joy- filled,
often exasperating stage of parenting!
Where your tiny human is very much still a baby,
but growing increasingly opinionated about what they want to do, and how they want to do it!

Cue Sensory Song & Rhyme!

The perfect place to bring your little one at this age.
This class gives them the freedom to explore at their own pace,
whether that’s from the comfort of your lap,
or the other side of the room!
Zero pressure. Zero expectations.

And it gives you the chance to get out,
talk and laugh with actual grown ups,
and let me do some of the entertaining for a bit!

If this sounds like just what you need, my next term starts 16th September in Godalming

Wednesdays 10.45 - 11.30am
For babies roughly aged 6-14 months
AND their grown ups!

September bookings are open,
you can find the booking link in my bio.❤️

I’ve been working on a little something for you all, for those days when you need a bit of inspiration.

I don’t know about you, but while we’ve had some lovely days so far this summer, my bank balance is already feeling the weight of keeping everyone fed, watered and entertained.

Even the low cost days seem to add up once you’ve bought drinks, snacks and an ice cream for everyone.

So I’m very glad I’ve been working away on a free Summer Survival Guide for us all. packed with simple, realistic things to do with your little ones when you’ve run out of ideas.

Inside you’ll find low cost activities and play ideas organised by age, with ideas for babies, toddlers and school age children.

There are also ideas for siblings to enjoy together, because finding something that works for children at completely different stages can feel like a challenge in itself.

You’ll find easy play ideas for home, the garden and getting out and about, plus low prep activities using things you’re likely to already have.

There are even ideas for rainy days, which is usually essential for a British summer, although who knows this year. 🤷‍♀️

Nothing complicated.
Nothing that needs lots of preparation.
Just plenty of useful ideas to dip into whenever you need them, over the summer, and well beyond.

Comment SUMMER below and we’ll let you know how you can download your free copy.

And we’d love it if you could SHARE this or TAG a parent who might find it helpful too. ☀️

Last summer, one of my favourite things I did was collect a golden glimmer from every day.

Not because every day was magical.

Some days were lovely and the moment was obvious.

Other days were chaotic, hard work, everyone was grumpy and I had to look a little harder.

But there was nearly always something.

A funny comment from one of the boys.
Five quiet minutes in the garden listening to the birds.
An ice cream.
A walk.
The sound of my boys laughing together.
A moment where everyone stopped arguing long enough for me to think, this is actually quite nice.

And now I have a whole collection of those moments. So many of them I know I would have forgotten if I hadn’t stopped to notice them.

Looking for glimmers in our day didn’t just help me collate memories. It allowed me to slow down, pause and really appreciate the little moments.

This summer already feels like it’s racing past me, so I’m bringing Golden Glimmers of Summer back.

Every day throughout August, I’ll be sharing one moment from my day on my stories.

Nothing impressive required.
No perfect summer days needed.

Just one small thing that felt good.

I’d love you to join me.

Share your golden glimmer,
tag me
and use
so we can collect all those little pockets of joy together. ☀️

Yesterday, after six long years, my son received an award at school.

For some children,
that might simply be a lovely moment.

For him, and for us, it was huge.

Because when your brain works differently, simply getting through a school day, constantly trying to navigate a world that wasn’t really designed with you in mind, takes an enormous amount of effort.

Every term he watched these awards being handed out.

Every term he came home wondering why trying so hard still wasn’t enough.

Today, someone at school finally saw all that effort too.

And I cried. Obviously.

I’m pretty good at sharing the hard parts here because I never want another parent to feel alone in them. But I’m much less comfortable sharing our wins.

I’m so aware that most people only share their highlight reel on social media, and I know as a parent, that can leave you feeling like you or your child somehow aren’t enough, that everyone around you is doing more, feeling happier and coping better.

I’m conscious that reading about someone else’s best day on your worst day, often exacerbates that feeling.

Recently, though, I realised something really important.

This moment deserves a place here.
Our wins deserve a place here,
because this page isn’t just where I share parenting tips or tell people about my classes anymore.

It’s becoming part of my legacy.

One day, my boys might look back through everything I’ve shared here. Not because they’re interested in social media, but because they’ll want to understand who their mum was.
Why I built the business I did.
What really mattered to me.

I want them to know that celebrating people has always mattered to me.
Especially the moments that might look ordinary to everyone else, but often represent extraordinary effort.

Because that’s what I celebrate every week with the families in my classes.
The story behind the win always matters.

And I want them to know I always celebrated their efforts most fiercely of all.

Maybe that’s why today felt so huge.
Because as his mum,
I’ve had the privilege of seeing all the effort that nobody else sees.

Today, somebody else saw it too.

And that means more than I can put into words. ❤️

I have such a soft spot for the summer sessions. ☀️

They’re always a little bit different to the rest of the year.

Some families come every week because they love having one familiar thing in the diary.

Some come back after months (or even years!) away, just to relive a little bit of that maternity leave magic with a now much bigger little person, (and sometimes a smaller one also in tow!) Those reunions are one of my favourite parts of the summer. ❤️

The family sessions are joyful chaos in the best possible way! The babies love watching the toddlers, while the older ones throw themselves into the songs, stories and sensory play too, and make the best helpers!

And summer just got a little more flexible too as I’ve released a handful of Pay As You Go spaces making it even easier to enjoy a little bit of The Mummas Village Magic this summer.

I start next week on Wednesday (22nd) for 4 weeks and spaces are available in (but super limited):

💛 10am Tiddlers & Toddlers Family Friendly Sessions.

💛 11am Family song and rhyme time mixed age session.

💛 Pay As You Go available
(pre-booking is essential)

I’d love to see you there!

Your little ones don’t stop for the summer…so neither do I!

☀️ SUMMER SESSIONS ARE BACK☀️

Because I know you’ve already started thinking:

💭 “Whaaat, all the classes stop in a few weeks 😱”
💭 “How am I going to keep a baby and a toddler entertained over a long hot summer?”
💭 “What on earth are we going to do for six whole weeks of school and nursery holidays?”
..panic not - I’ve got you covered!
Whether you’ve:
❤️ Just welcomed a new tiny human,

💙don’t want to miss out on 2 months of maternity leave fun with your ever growing little one,

💜or need something the whole family can come along to whatever their age.

I’ve got it all happening over 4 glorious weeks this summer.

A familiar place where your little ones can laugh, play, explore and simply be themselves.

Somewhere you can chat to other grown ups who get it, and maybe even head off for a coffee, a picnic or the playground afterwards.

Just something simple in your diary that makes the week feel a little easier. 💛

If you are currently In classes you’ve got all the details so go go go - grab your spot!!

Waiting list peeps get first dibs on remaining spaces at the start of next week so
If you’re thinking,
“Yes... that sounds exactly what we need,”

drop me a ☀️ in the comments and I’ll DM you to make sure you’re on the list!

I can’t wait 🙌😎☀️
