This one’s for us — the mums. Mum Stuff is where I pour out the thoughts I have while folding the fifth load of laundry or hiding in the loo for five minutes of peace. It’s where we talk honestly about motherhood — the magic, the mess, and everything in between. Whether you’re a first-time mum, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in the foggy middle, this is your space too.
Because being a mum is beautiful, chaotic, exhausting, and soul-stretching — and sometimes, you just need someone to say, “Same.”
💬 1. Mental Health & Mum Life
Let’s not sugarcoat it: motherhood is emotional. Some days feel like a Pinterest board; others feel like survival. Here I share thoughts on anxiety, identity shifts, mum guilt, and how I navigate the mental load that never really switches off. It’s okay to not be okay — and even more okay to talk about it.

🛁 2. Realistic Self-Care
This isn’t about bubble baths and spa days (though we love those too). This is self-care that fits into real mum life — the 10-minute breather after school drop-off, the coffee you drink while it’s still hot, or just asking for help without guilt. These posts are reminders to care for you, because we can’t pour from an empty cup (or sippy cup).

🧠 3. Identity & Growth
Who even am I now? Becoming a mum shifts everything — your time, your energy, even your friendships. This section is for reflections on rediscovering who you are outside of nappies, night feeds, and snack bags. It’s about finding moments to dream, grow, and just be you again.

If there’s a way to make the day run smoother, I’m all in. From household shortcuts to time-saving routines and clever “why didn’t I think of that?” tips, this section is full of practical, imperfect advice that helps take the edge off the daily juggle. No judgment, just what works.
The meltdowns, the giggles, the days when you question everything — this is the good stuff. These are the real stories from the trenches of motherhood, told with honesty, humour, and heart. Think of it as a chat with a friend who gets it (and will never judge the amount of screen time you handed out today).
