Big shout out to for their support with toilet training.

I called them last week when I was feeling a bit stuck and unsure what to do next. The lady on the phone was so kind and approachable, and gave me clear, practical steps that felt totally doable. I honestly felt like I could ask any question (no matter how “silly” it seemed) and she didn’t mind at all. I’d known about the charity for ages but had kept putting off calling them!

It reminded me how hard it can feel to ask for help as a parent. You carry the stress for so long before finally saying “ok, I need some guidance.” Honestly, it makes such a difference once you do. And really, what’s the worst that can happen?!

If you’re finding toilet training, sleep, or anything else tricky right now – please don’t wait and struggle on your own. The right professional might have the answers you need and save you months of stress ⭐

👉 Have you ever reached out for support with something parenting-related? I’d love to hear what (or who!) helped you most. Share in the comments – your experience might be exactly what another parent needs to hear 💛

“Just give a bottle, then you can sleep…”

🤱 National Breastfeeding Week 2025 🤱

I’ve exclusively breastfed (EBF) both my children, my first until she was 2, and my second is 1 and still going.

I went to Breastfeeding Babes, my local support group, and I’ll never forget their warm, simple welcome, cup of coffee and cake, it really helped me.

In those early days with my first, my lovely hubby would wake up with me to help get the latch right, I struggled at first to work out where everything went! (You'd think b**b... baby... simple enough?).

I did find it exhausting and relentless at first, but it did get better quickly and do I dare say - easy.

I never felt pressure to breastfeed but I did feel a lot of pressure to “just give a bottle” when I was struggling with sleep. Comments like:
💬 “Give a bottle so he can bond.”
💬 “Give a bottle so you can go out.”
💬 “Give formula, they’ll sleep better.”
💬 “Give a bottle, then he can do the nights and you can sleep.”

I tried pumping once and hated every minute. I felt like a machine and in hindsight, I was only doing it because it felt like what everyone else was doing. Never again!

But what I actually needed was support with my baby’s sleep, not a plaster fix. And that’s what our lovely sleep consultant gave us. I don't think I would have lasted 2 years without her.

I know breastfeeding isn’t for everyone, and it comes with challenges. Honestly, I don’t care whether you breastfeed or not, it’s your choice. I support you either way.

But on this special week, I just wanted to say:
👉 Breastfeeding doesn’t mean you have to pump.
👉 You can get a good night's sleep whilst breastfeeding.
👉 If you want to and are able too try, after the first 6-8 weeks it does get much easier!
👉 Sleep training does not mean giving up breastfeeding.

What we all need is support, not pressure.

Today I was alone again.

My hubby works shifts so I regularly am by myself.

I'm not going to lie and say it's always smooth sailing, but certainly a nice routine and familiarity goes a long way.

If you need support getting your evenings back on track, DM me 'ROUTINE' and we'll chat about the best way forward.

Bluestone in Wales – A Quick Review

Bluestone in Wales was recommended to me by a client… and overall, it was fantastic.

I’d definitely recommend it for young children aged 3+, as my daughter could enjoy most of it and had a whale of a time! There are several different play areas, including sand and water play, a bouncy castle, soft play and more. There’s also a variety of daily entertainment and activities, all included in the price. (Bonus: alcohol and coffee are available to buy next to every play area… 🍷🍺).

The swimming pool has flumes which our kids were too small for, but there’s a kids’ section where the adult ratio can be 2:1, so we took turns going in. The wave pool and lazy river were a hit with our 3-year-old!

Even mini taster sessions for the low ropes and zip wire were included (just check the height restrictions). We paid extra for a Fairytale Breakfast, which was a lot of fun.

I know others might disagree, but personally, I wouldn’t go if I only had a baby, I’d save it until they’re a bit older. Don’t get me wrong, our 11-month-old had fun too… but she also had fun today with a roll of kitchen roll!

💤 In terms of sleeping... 💤

The walking trails are great for quiet on-the-go naps and many are buggy friendly. They’re also lovely for toddlers with lots to explore.

In the Forest Lodge, the curtains were decent and it’s surrounded by trees, so the morning light wasn’t too bad.

A travel cot was provided (we brought our own mattress).

The Forest Lodges were quiet and away from the busy areas, just be mindful when booking cottages that are right next to the playgrounds/ in the village.

⭐ Top tips…

Request a toddler pack - it’s not well advertised, but it includes a potty, toilet seat and step.

Book your buggy in advance - it’s an extra cost but really worth it. Bluestone is hilly, and the buggy is part of the fun! The shuttle bus no longer runs, and the buggies sell out.

If you fancy heading out, there are lovely, safe local beaches to explore (and better places for food).

is well worth a visit - it’s absolutely nuts!
