Kathryn at Singing Mamas North Wiltshire

Too funny not to share! Here’s the message I just sent my Friday morning mamas…I’m blaming the 5 hours of INCREDIBLY broken sleep my littlest one allowed me last night for my apparently bonkers approach to cakes 😂

🧡🧡🧡

Erm so this evening has sort of been one long cake related drama…!

I made a banana and peach upside down thing which is a slow cooker recipe. Turns out my slow cooker is a lot too small and it didn’t cook as it was supposed to. I hurriedly decided to make some flapjacks because, you know, what can go wrong with flapjacks?! I stuck some apricots and sultanas in to pretend they’re vaguely healthy (they’re not 🥴) and went to put the littlest one to bed. I came down and tried cutting them too soon so half of them fell apart 😩 But they taste delicious so I salvaged the ones that sort of still had a shape and then turned to the slow cooker disaster cake.

I wanted to see how it tasted so grabbed a teaspoon and tried a bit of the edge that was very obviously cooked. Disaster. It was also delicious. So I thought, hey, the oven’s on, I’ll just stick it in there for a while and see what happens!

Meanwhile I got a registration form through from someone who’s currently on a dairy-free diet and had a mini meltdown because between the 2 recipes I have for flapjacks I decided to go with butter and not margarine 😩😩😩

So then I decided to make more of the vegan rocky road that we had before half term. (Sorry N! 😂)

Oh and there are some blueberry almond slices left over from yesterday’s group too!

So I’ve now got 3, possibly 4 (still not sure about the banana and peach one) cakes to bring tomorrow 😂

So if anyone’s contemplating being a last minute Larry this week I (and my arteries and general physical health) can wholeheartedly say YES PLEASE COME AND EAT CAKE (I mean sing….)

I’m so looking forward to getting back to my mamas tomorrow 🥰 There’s still time to join us if you are curious and want to give Singing Mamas a try! We’d love to meet you 🧡

I’m really looking forward to running a taster session at the Birth Network - North Wiltshire Baby Show on 1st March! If you know anyone who’d like to find out more about what’s available for bumps and babies across our part of Wiltshire this is a great FREE event to check out!

Not only will you be able to wander round next week's Birth Network North Wiltshire's Chippenham Baby Show, looking at the stands and chatting to the stand holders (and in some cases, buying things from their stands) but there will also be talks and taster sessions you can attend.

To start things off, at 10:10am, Rosanna of The Mother Rite will give a Birth Toolkit Demo, sharing the techniques she uses with her yoga and doula clients, to help you stay grounded and comfortable.

At 10:50am Jacqui of Deep Connexions will be giving a talk on the importance of prenatal bonding.

This will be followed, at 11:30am, by a taster of what Sing and Sign Chippenham & Marlborough offer. Enjoy with your 1 to 6 month olds (expectant parents, or parents with babies under 1 month, are welcome to watch).

And finally, at 12:10pm, Kathryn at Singing Mamas North Wiltshire will be holding a Singing Mamas taster session.

None of these sessions needs to be booked in advance. Just turn up, a few minutes before they are due to start, and take a seat.

I’m missing my mamas already this week and can’t wait for term to start again! I got quite emotional watching some of these clips from last Friday’s session 🥹🧡

A half term treat is waiting for you on Friday! Come along to Toddler Time from 10am-12pm and experience the beautiful surroundings of this magical garden in a special session combining activities for the little ones and soul music for the mamas. Come as you are and take the chance to stop and be at the end of this half term break. The garden is waking up, the birds are singing, the music is waiting, all that’s missing is you 🧡

Fridays at Kington St Michael outside Chippenham are consistently my busiest group, which comes with a different energy to Wednesdays at Tree Thyme. One other reason for the different vibe is definitely my sidekick, who steals my chair every week and bops along as we sing (when he’s not helping himself to everyone else’s snacks that is…!). What a joy to be able to share this with my own tiny one (who now looks like a giant next to the actual tiny babies 😭).

There is still space in the circle if you would like to join us 🧡

What a gorgeous squidge of babies we had at this morning 😍 (there’s no official collective noun for babies, which is clearly nonsense, so I’m choosing squidge as the best option 😜). Thank you to E, G and H for the photo and the cuddles 🥰 If it was a pic of the toddlers then the noun would surely have to be a chaos, right?! 😂

Such a lovely session at Chippenham library this morning! So may teeny, squidgy, gorgeous babies too 😭 And H (who looked like a giant amongst the tiddlies!) only brought me 18 books, which was much more restrained than I’d expected 😂

Thank you to those who came and sang and to the library for hosting us 🧡

I’m taking a breath before a very busy week begins! 😅 I can’t decide which bit I’m most excited about 🤗 If I’m going be seeing you in the circle this week say hi in the comments, and if you want to come along for the first time drop me a message - it would be so wonderful to meet you 🧡

We were 10 amazing mamas and 12 gorgeous children from 8 weeks to nearly 4 years old at Kington St Michael yesterday 🤩 This little snapshot tells so much about these sessions. Look at the toys everywhere, look at the mamas sitting or standing however they need to to be comfortable. Listen to the playing happening alongside the singing. Hear me singing really flat 🤪 What you can’t see in this video is how much this session restores a mama who’s tired, frazzled, burnt out. The joy of these sessions for me is in their joy, peace, healing and respite from a crazy life 🧡 Yes I said joy twice. JOY!
