I am a busy mum of three beautiful children. Each have their strengths, their weaknesses (the apples haven’t fallen far from the tree there) and quirky personalities.
My parenting journey so far has been raw, challenging and the most rewarding years of my life and I would not change a thing.
I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with some truly inspiration women whom I have learnt so much from over the last few years, particularly surrounding the importance of play based learning in early childhood.
I am truly so excited to have this platform to share what I have learnt with you!
Whether you are a mum to be, newbie or caregiver of 6 little glitter covered delights, I hope you may be inspired on your parenting journey ❤
