❤️Please❤️

Down with toxicity. As mamas we need to be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.
We all have our own way of doing things sure, but we also all have very different babies that need us to do things differently so stop judging other mums and remember they’re doing what they’re doing to survive.

I don’t know about anyone else but it’s so funny how differently I’m even doing things from what childless me thought I would do.
I had all these notions of how I’d go about raising my little girl and now that she’s here I’m just doing what I feel she needs me to do even if it’s different from my plan, and honestly sometimes I’m doing what *I* need to do just to survive because as much as I am loving motherhood and really 98% of the time this is my dream, I’m also just a mother trying to survive 😅

✨Our new venue for 2025!✨

So excited to be bringing The Mum Club back to Trowbridge and going forward we’ll be running our events at the brand new board game & crafting space on Mill Street!

With a little play space for little brunchers & plenty to do for the mums too if they fancy a game, this new venue in Trowbridge is serving yummy Free From cakes by & HOT drinks!

Best of all, we have the space all to ourselves so it’ll be a very laid back affair.

Please note this venue is upstairs so please let us know in advance if you plan to bring push chairs so we can help you up the stairs or better yet, bring little ones in a carrier or car seat! :)

First event of 2025 on Tuesday 21st Jan! (Link in highlights) 💕

Lots of Love,

Alex 🤱🏼

PS: Hands up if you’d be interested in a mum’s crafting event in the future - I’m thinking a little workshop for personalising baby clothes with embroidery for example 🙋‍♀️

😴Q&A with 😴

So excited to be welcoming back Amy Howson our local sleep expert at our upcoming Coffee Club this month!

If, like me, you have some questions re: infant sleep, do come along & pick her brain! You may just leave with some great sleep advice to take home with you!

Here’s a little message from Amy herself:
“Hello! I’m Amy Howson, I’m a mum of 2, and a Sleep Consultant & Functional Health Coach. I help families with predominantly their little one’s sleep, but also their own health and wellness too.
I created Sleep Guides for parents to instantly download for each stage of their little one’s sleep- I know how you need the info there and then, whatever time of the day or night, so I put the guides together, as well as offering personalised 1:1 plans with families to transform sleep on a more individual basis.

Last year, I added functional health coaching and bloodwork analysis into the mix, something that’s been great to be able to tackle parental sleep or energy issues, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and more to really optimise their health and wellness- something which is often overlooked in the early days and years of parenthood. I launched my Women’s Wellness Collective in February which is 30mins a day for 30days- simple additions to your day to help you feel your best and transform your health and wellness! You can find me on Instagram for lots of sleep tips!”

Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks!

Hello I’m back!! 👋

After a lovely Christmas break followed by a visit to my family in Ireland for the New Year, I’m back a bit later than planned due to a pretty nasty stomach bug that got a hold of me the day we got home!

All better now thankfully and excited to take on the year ahead!

How have you all been? Healthy I hope 💕

Ravensburger is December’s goodie bag sponsor.
It all starts with play! A child’s capacity to play is unlimited – and it’s a good thing, too!
With untearable and waterproof pages, the books are suitable for even the most adventurous explorers – whether you’re playing indoors or outdoors or even at bathtime.
The brightly coloured pictures and words on each page will fascinate baby, and the play doesn’t end there: the little pop-its are great to keep small hands busy, and the silicone teething edge will help soothe sore gums.

22/12/2024

Anyone else or just me? 😅

I’m usually buying things a couple of months in advance just so it’s not such a last minute rush and a big burden on the finances but this year I’ve been really sleeping on present buying!

Mind you, with 5 days to go I’m pretty much sorted so it could definitely be worse but trying to find the time to wrap them all now with a little one who doesn’t want to be put down for naps is very tricky.

I hope you reading this are more prepared than me but tbh even if you aren’t, you’re doing amazing mama. 💕

✨Thank you for a wonderful year!✨

I got involved with at the beginning of this year! I was super pregnant and only realised through pregnancy that I was really missing a support network - we don’t have family close by & no friends nearby who are at the same point in their lives.

Having hyperemesis gravidarum, I had a really really rough start to my pregnancy and not having anyone near to even talk to about it was really tough so I started looking for ways to meet other mums to be nearby but honestly there’s nothing.
NCT classes start when you’re almost fully cooked and any other group was for babies so not really a place to go when you don’t have a baby yet!

Then I found The Mum Club! A franchise run by mums all over the country and they didn’t have anyone running events in Wiltshire (except Swindon but that’s almost an hour from me 😅)
So 6 months pregnant I got about organising events in various Wiltshire towns trying to bring mums and mums to be together!

It’s been a year of ups and downs but I got to meet my beautiful baby girl Matilda about halfway through & everything else is just noise ❤️

It’s been so lovely meeting so many of you in the various areas I hosted & seeing your little ones at different stages too - some even from bump to baby! 😍

I’ve scheduled our first event of 2025 in our new home in Trowbridge. This one will be a chill coffee club to ease everyone back into the year.
Can’t wait to see you there! 🎀

Lots of love,

Alex & Tilly 🤱🏼

🎄Have you been to Sarum Avenue in Melksham?🎅🏻

A little street in a random estate in Melksham, Sarum Avenue boasts brightly decorated houses (straight from your favourite American Christmas film), a real life sleigh you can sit in, an incredible Santa & best of all it’s all for charity!

To be clear, it’s all free! No one asks you for money for any of it but there are volunteers standing around with buckets and they have a gofundme page with all donations going to Air Ambulance!
There is no pressure to donate which makes the ambience so friendly & pressure free.

The lights are on every evening but Santa & his elves can only be found on weekends Fri-Sat 5.30pm-9pm. The odd time you’ll also get to see The Grinch! Until Dec 22nd!

So highly recommend, especially if you’ve missed out on booking a Santa experience or money is tight this season.

Spread the word. This is so great 🙌

🎅🏻May I introduce you to THE Santa Clause!🎅🏻

I realise his head is cut off in the event picture 😅
But just to say this is not a stock image but THE ACTUAL Santa who’ll be joining us for our Brunch Club next week!

These pictures were taken at a fellow Franchisee’s Brunch Club last year who sang his praises and he’s actually since moved to this area so I’m super excited to have him joining us for a couple of hours of mingling with the little ones and you are of course welcome to take pictures with him and he’ll also be available for professional photo ops with (please note an extra fee applies if you are opting into the professional mini shoot)

I can’t wait to see you and your little ones next week for what will prove to be such a magical Brunch! 😍

I don’t know about you but I’m so PSYCHED for Christmas this year like I haven’t been for a long time!

I think it’s partly because every Christmas I wished to have a little baby so to finally have my wish come true just feels so incredible. I feel so lucky and blessed and I just want to make this so magical because we’ll only ever get one First Christmas together.

Are your decorations up yet? Mine went up today! 🎄

I want to be real open here and start by saying it’s ok not to be ok. ❤️

I’m 15 weeks into motherhood and depression struck me last week.
I don’t even think it’s postnatal tbh.
I’ve always suffered from it off and on since I was a teenager but it’s hard now being a mum because I don’t want to let it show to my little girl.
I want to still remain here for her and I want to make her smile even though that feels like the last thing on earth I might want to do myself.

Tbh it’s Sunday evening and I’m feeling much better but I did have a really bad bout of it this last week and I was worried how long it would stick around.

Midwives talk to us about our mental health in those first couple of weeks postpartum but not really beyond that, even though it’s quite common to feel this way months into motherhood (for me I think it was brought on by anxiety of having to go back to work sooner than I’d like and I’m sure I’m not alone in that feeling).

Please feel free to DM if you ever want to talk mental health or talk to me at one of our events (pull me aside if you’d prefer a private chat). I don’t want anyone to be going through it alone. Motherhood is hard enough as it is ❤️

Some beautiful moments captured at our last Brunch Club in Melksham a couple of weeks ago!

Thank you to everyone who came and shared some good food and good chats!
