❤️ LOCAL BUSINESS LOVE ❤️

Often at events, mums will ask for recommendations for baby/toddler classes in the area.

We are REALLY LUCKY that we are spoilt for choice, there are so many fantastic options but one name that is pretty much the first to fly out of my mouth is 🎈

Carried Away Play is an independent, Glasgow-based business providing Baby & Toddler classes and imaginative play parties & events for children aged between 0 and 5 years.

There are Sensory Play classes focusing on development from newborn up to the crawling stage and Disco Play classes for any and all ages.

The classes are fun, full of colour, music & singing which little ones love but for me, the best thing about the classes is Carrie ❤️

She really is the most genuine & warm-hearted human and you feel instantly welcomed the moment you walk into one of her classes. When we first went to one of her disco play classes Millie was very shy and couldn’t look Carrie in the face & by the end, she was giving her big hugs - this is the effect she has!

Very much like TMC, Carrie is passionate about supporting women and whilst the class is focused on the little ones, she strives to give mums a judgement-free space to go, chat & connect and makes time for this in her classes. I know many mums who have come to our events after meeting at Carried Away Play & vice Versa 🫶🏻

🎈 You can pay as you go rather than a block booking
🎈 Only one ticket needed for siblings
🎈 Classes throughout the summer holidays
🎈 Classes in Newton Mearns & East Kilbride

Exciting & Busy week ahead at TMC East Ren 🙌🏻👯‍♀️

First up our Fitness Club on Wednesday with the wonderful leading our mum & baby yoga class 🧘‍♀️

✨ Tickets for this one are now closed ✨

Then on Sunday morning, it’s our third Coffee Club for Expecting Mums 🤰🏻

If you are pregnant, this is the perfect opportunity for you to connect with some like-minded women on the same journey as you and to ask for advice from our fantastic guest speakers.

We will be joined by the wonderful: .me

See what some of our previous mums to be have said about this event ⬇️

“I came along as a nervous first-time mum to Laura’s Expectant Mum Edit earlier this year, not knowing what to expect. We were all met with open arms to this safe space to share our excitement, questions, concerns and the opportunity to ask the panel of wonderful experts on all things pregnancy.”

“Honestly, the guest speakers made it for me - having the space for those discussions and questions I’ve not been able to speak to the midwife about yet was so valuable. And I really felt like the whole morning normalised my whole experience so far”

Come & join us, we would love to see you 🩷

🌟 PHOTOGRAPHER SHOUT OUT 🌟

I’m delighted to introduce you to who will be joining us at our fitness club on Wednesday to capture some of the TMC Magic ✨💫✨

📸 A bit about Amy:

“Reflections by Amy is completely new to Scotland, since relocating from Liverpool.

Established in 2015, I offer bespoke portrait sessions for babies and children. I pride myself on my relaxed and informal approach to my sessions, incorporating handmade props and couture gowns to create timeless art for your family to enjoy for years to come.

I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published multiple times and have worked with big-name brands such as Next and Emile et Rose.

In 2022 I was awarded the UK’s top 3 newborn photographer of the year. The biggest achievement of my photography career so far. In 2024 just before leaving England, I was awarded Knowsley’s number 1 newborn photographer of the year.

I am a mum with a BAhons degree in the Advanced Study of the Early Years, I spent years working with babies and children before becoming a photographer and have been nicknamed the baby whisperer by many previous clients of mine.

I adore being able to photograph families as they grow over the years and have been very blessed to have a few families visiting me multiple times over the years since I very first opened.

I’m really excited about my new photography journey in Scotland and hope to meet more beautiful families up here xx”

Go check out her page, as you can see Amy’s images are beautiful and we can’t wait for her to capture our first fitness club 😍❤️

I know all too well that getting out of the house with a new baby can be daunting, taking a toddler anywhere can be a mission and stepping outside of your comfort zone & meeting new people can be nerve-wracking.

But guess what, the best thing about our events is EVERYONE in that room understands this too!

At every event, I hear phrases like “me too”, “same thing happened to me” or “I feel the same way” and it brings me such joy to hear it as I know the power those conversations can hold.

It’s when you realise it’s not just you or it’s not just your child. It’s when you realise it’s ok to feel the way you do, you & your feelings are valid and it’s when you realise that you are not alone 🙌🏻❤️

If you are feeling at all nervous about coming along or have any questions about our events please drop me a message, I’d love to hear from you 🥰

Did you know we’ve teamed up with .europe and have their award-winning Play Kits at all our events!

So, while you enjoy a hot coffee and catching up with the most wonderful group of women, your little one can have a great time playing and making new friends too!

Lovevery’s Montessori-inspired Play Kits are designed by child development experts and distilled to their simplest, purest purpose: to give your child’s developing brain exactly what it needs at every stage ❤️

30/06/2024

Feedback like this means the absolute world to me ❤️😭

To feel included & part of a community is EXACTLY how I want you to feel when you come along to one of our events 🫶🏻

I know it can be daunting to come along for the first time, I’ve been there, and I was you, but I can promise you that both myself & the other women attending have got you 🙌🏻

Thank you to every single one of you who continue to make our community so special 🙏

WOW WOW WOW! ❤️🙌🏻

As I lie in the Ibiza sunshine (ok reality check, as I chase Millie around in the Ibiza sunshine), I’m blown away that TMC East Renfrewshire is now a community of over 3000 followers!! 😮

A wonderful bunch of like-minded women & incredible local businesses - SO GRATEFUL 😭

If you are new here, WELCOME, I’m Laura, your host 👋🏼

Originally from Jersey in the Channel Islands, I’ve been living in Scotland for just over 2 years and absolutely LOVE IT 🥰

I’ve been married to Neil for nearly 16 years and I am mummy to a very strong, independent & sassy 4-year-old daughter called Millie.
After a long journey to get to this point including IVF, I’m forever grateful to be a mummy but that doesn’t mean I love every second of motherhood. It goes without saying that I love my daughter more than anything but let’s be honest amidst the joy, this rollercoaster can be lonely and HARD AF😩

It’s why I’m so passionate about and all it stands for, no one else gets motherhood like other mums and every single one of us needs that person, that group of friends or that community to put their arms around us when we need it, to tell us we are not alone & to tell us we’ve got this 🥰

We have a packed summer of meet-ups coming up including brunches, walks, coffee clubs, fitness club and a mum’s night off and I would love to see you there! If you have any questions about our events or feel nervous about coming, please just message me - my DM’s are always open XxXx

🌟 Coffee Club for Expecting Mums🌟

Joining as our second guest speaker is the wonderful Gillian from .me ❤️

“Gillian - Owner & Sonographer at Babyscan.me, but other titles also include Mummy, Wife & Dog Mum!

Have been a Radiographer for 21 years, specialising in Ultrasound 16 years ago.
I’ve worked all over Scotland (and Australia!) but decided to open my own business in Kilmarnock a few years ago and I’ve never looked back.
I offer a really personal service that I feel is so unlike most other private scan clinics. I will always treat my clients as I would like to be treated. You’re in good hands with me as your Sonographer as I always say whatever you’re going through has probably already happened to me!

I offer scans all throughout pregnancy, from early viability at 6 weeks, to gender scans from 15 weeks, 3D & 4D scans between 26 - 32 weeks, and growth / wellbeing scans right up to 40 weeks.

We also offer a range of different keepsakes to make your scans extra special.”

Whether you are pregnant with your first, second, third or fourth child, this event is all about YOU and connecting with other women on the same journey. Join us on the 14th of July ❤️

As I sit by the pool in Ibiza, with Millie telling me hourly that she is having the best holiday, this has never been so true! ❤️

I’m not going to lie, I came away not feeling or looking my best so the thought of a swimming costume filled me with dread but I’m embracing the sass and confidence my daughter has and diving fully into pool life and making the most of every second of fun we are having!

Remember no matter what you think you see in that mirror or how you feel, you are all AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL and absolutely EVERYTHING to your little ones - believe it & own it 🙌🏻 ❤️🥰

I’ve been home to Jersey this weekend for a solo trip and as I sit waiting to board my flight, I’ve realised it’s 2 years to the day since we left Jersey & moved to Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2 years?! How did that happen?! 😮

Despite having moved to America and back a few years earlier and having family in Glasgow, moving your life to a new place is daunting, especially with a toddler in tow. You will always question & doubt whether you are doing the right thing.

Two years on, I can say it was absolutely the right thing for us, we LOVE living here and are so lucky for the many adventures we’ve had along the way!

A big part for me personally and why I settled so quickly was bringing to East Renfrewshire 🩷 It allowed me to put myself out there, meet new people (let’s be honest making friends as an adult is HARD!) and discover the best the area had to offer!

So a huge THANK YOU to every single one of you who have followed along, who have liked & shared posts and to those of you who have come to events and recommended TMC to your friends 🫶🏻 And to the business owners who have supported me - I appreciate it so much and am thankful to have been welcomed into this wonderful community! Xx

25/05/2024

As a mum, it’s natural to put everyone else’s needs before your own and to think that you don’t need any self-care. But burnout & mental exhaustion are real - we all need time to recharge ❤️

So this is your weekend reminder that it’s more than ok to do something for YOU, in fact, it’s absolutely NEEDED!

This doesn’t need to be anything elaborate, why not start small and take 15 minutes at the start or end of the day for a solo walk around the block? Throw in some music or a good podcast and enjoy the fresh air and your own company 🙌🏻🌸

Let us know, What do you do for you that helps to recharge your batteries? ⬇️
