On a mission to create a world where mums don’t struggle in silence.

When does it get easier? Every new mum asks this. When does it get easier? Every new mum asks this. Many older mums say… never. I didn’t like or agree with that answer. But now, with my boys getting older, I understand exactly what they mean. Our twins are 9. Recently, they joined a new club and faced some harsh words from other children. At first, my instinct went full mama bear. I wanted to pull them out, wrap them back under my wings, protect them from every hurt. But then, deep in my bones, I felt it: it’s time. Time to let them face the world as it is — not because I want them to get hurt, but because shielding them forever would cost them something far greater. Their resilience. Their confidence. Their ability to stand tall when life isn’t gentle. It wasn’t easy to accept. I still want to protect them. Always. But I realised: letting go a little is part of helping them grow. And somehow, that thought both terrifies me and makes me proud all at once. ❤️
This might be uncomfortable to hear, but it needs This might be uncomfortable to hear, but it needs to be said. Struggle is not a badge of honour. Somewhere along the way, we started praising exhaustion. We admire the mum who “does it all”. We clap for the one who never stops, never rests, never asks. But the truth is: Being exhausted doesn’t make you a better mum. Suffering is not proof of love. Burnout is not devotion. Martyrdom is not motherhood. You don’t get extra points for running on empty. Your children don’t need a mum who is constantly surviving. They need one who is regulated, present, and comfortable to be human. Choosing rest, boundaries and support is not weak. It’s self-respect. And self-respect is a parenting skill we were never taught — but one we absolutely need to learn. Let’s stop teaching mums that pain equals love. Love doesn’t require self destruction. And the bravest mums aren’t the ones who endure the most — they’re the ones who refuse unnecessary suffering.
So this is the first year Henry and Mason actually So this is the first year Henry and Mason actually KNOW about Santa. I was honestly dreading this moment… but it turned out beautifully. ❤️ They’d been questioning things for a while - both Santa AND the tooth fairy. Then one morning Henry woke me up and said that he knew the tooth fairy wasn’t real… because he’d lost a tooth the day before, didn’t tell me, put it under his pillow, and no money appeared. I admit I was very proud of him In that moment, for how he figured it out. 😂💪😎 So yes soon they learned about Santa too , and to my relief there was no drama! They actually laughed and said, “So it was YOU who ate the mince pies we left by the fireplace?!” 😝 And the most amazing thing is that keep the Santa magic going for their little brother. (Now THAT’S real magic :)) I also overheard them in the car when their friend asked if they’d written a Santa list. They nodded and said they had, gently protecting the magic for their friend without saying a word. 🥹 It’s AMAZING watching them grow and change and turn into young men right in front of me. Sure, it’s also bittersweet, but the magic of it all is honestly incredible when we’re willing to see it.

Just reading “Baby drama” by Sandi Lynn and wow… a Just reading “Baby drama” by Sandi Lynn and wow… apart from it being a great book, she absolutely nailed what it really feels like to be a new mum!! The emotions, the exhaustion, the love, the chaos… all of it. Sandi, I don’t think you even realise how powerful that is. Talking about the real side of motherhood helps break so much stigma and struggling in silence. On behalf of all mums, thank you so much for reminding the world that becoming a mum isn’t - and isn’t meant to be - all sunshine and rainbows. ❤️

That’s why I created a FREE pdf with 9 things I (and frankly, most mums) wish I knew before giving birth.
