🎄 DAY 17 – Gentle Festive Scents (for Mum)

Babies learn through watching you — your expressions, reactions and curiosity.

Today, explore festive scents yourself while baby observes:
🍊 orange peel
🌿 pine
✨ cinnamon sticks
🌼 cloves

Let baby see you smell each one and describe it softly:
“Mmm…”
“Spicy…”
“Sweet…”
“Christmassy…”

This builds social understanding and early language — all through your natural, loving interaction.

🎄 DAY 16 – Mummy Affirmation Day

Today is for YOU.
Your heart.
Your mind.
Your emotional load.

Repeat after me:
✨ “I am doing my best. My best is enough. And I am enough.”

Say it slowly.
Say it with kindness.
Say it like you mean it — even if you don’t feel it yet.

Motherhood isn’t about perfection… it’s about connection.

You’re doing beautifully.

🎄 Advent Day 15 – A Day Late (Festive Treasure Basket)

Advent Day 15 — arriving a day late, and right on time 💛

Yesterday was full — of life, planning, tiny joys and real moments — so today we’re gently sharing Day 15 of our Nurture Babies Advent.

Today’s calm, festive idea is a Festive Treasure Basket 🎁
One of the simplest and most beautiful ways to support your baby’s curiosity and independence.

You might include:
• a wooden spoon
• wrapping paper tubes
• soft ribbon or fabric
• a bell (supervised)
• a festive-coloured scarf

Sit nearby, smile, comment softly, and let your baby explore freely.
There’s no right way. No finished product. No pressure.

This is your reminder that December doesn’t need to be perfectly paced to be meaningful.
A day late still counts.
Just like you — you’re still doing brilliantly.

Thank you for being here 💚

🎄 Advent Day 14 – A Gentle Catch-Up Footprint Reindeer

A little gentle catch-up today, lovely ones 💛

Between much-needed sleep, a magical panto trip, and being deep in planning our final Come & Explore session, I missed sharing Day 14 of our Advent — and that’s okay.
Because this season isn’t about doing everything perfectly… it’s about living it.

So here’s Day 14 — a simple, special keepsake you can do any time:
Footprint Reindeer 🦌👣

A tiny footprint.
A splash of paint.
A memory you’ll treasure forever.

If you’ve already moved on — that’s okay too. Advent can be caught up, skipped, adapted, or simply enjoyed in your own way. Just like motherhood.

Thank you for being such a kind, understanding community 💚

Why Book Before Christmas

If you’re anything like most mums… December arrives and suddenly everything feels FULL.
Your diary, your to-do list, your brain, your emotions.
And booking something lovely for you and your baby?
It gets pushed to the bottom of the list. 🎄💛

That’s exactly why I’m gently encouraging you to book your January Baby Massage Programme before Christmas — so you can walk into 2025 with something calm, nurturing and supportive already in place.

✨ No scrambling for classes in January.
✨ No feeling lost once the festive whirlwind stops.
✨ No “Oh I meant to book but everything’s full…”

Instead, imagine this:
A warm, cosy space where you and your baby can breathe.
A small, friendly group of mums who “get it.”
A gentle weekly routine that brings calm, confidence and connection into your days.

My 4-week programme starts 7th January, with sessions on 7th, 21st, 28th Jan & 11th Feb from 1.30–3pm.
It includes:
🧴 Massage oil
📘 Parent handbook
📝 Weekly handouts
🎁 A special welcome gift
☕ Refreshments
🌿 A home-from-home space
👩‍🏫 30+ years of experience supporting families

All for £65, with just a £15 deposit to secure your spot.

If you want to step into the new year feeling supported, not overwhelmed…
Book now, before Christmas takes over.
Your future self will be so glad you did. 💛

🎄 DAY 13 – Christmas Lights Calm Time

This evening, dim the lights and let baby enjoy the warm glow of the Christmas tree ✨

Slow-moving lights help:
✨ calm the nervous system
✨ soothe overstimulation
✨ create a peaceful bedtime transition

Hold your baby, sway gently, breathe slowly.
Let the glow settle both of your hearts.

Sometimes the simplest moments become the most magical memories.

🎄 DAY 12 – Bauble Peekaboo

A festive twist on a favourite game… Bauble Peekaboo! 🎄

Hide behind a soft, baby-safe bauble or felt decoration and say:
“Where’s mummy…? Peekaboo!”

Peekaboo helps babies learn object permanence — the idea that you come back, every time.
This supports emotional security and trust.

And of course… it brings the BEST giggles.

Tag me in your peekaboo moments!
