🖤Motherhood - a life of constant contradictions🤍

I’ve so loved watching my little Tilly grow and develop new skills these last 7 months, but I also cling onto and panic about the time and moments that have passed.
Her first smile, the first time she babbled, her first time trying food. Those are all gone now. I was there for every single moment but somehow I also feel like I missed them. They can’t and went so quickly.

Is this just what life is like forever now?
Excited to watch my baby grow up, learn new skills & become her own person but always longing for her to stay so little? To hold her in my arms forever and have her need me the way she needs me now?

That, for me, has proved the trickiest part of motherhood so far. The constant battles in my mind and in my heart. I want it all, to watch her grow but oh my God STOP GROWING!

Anyone else feel the same or just me? 😅

Once you bring a Tripp Trapp from into your home, it becomes part of the family. From messy first bites to birthday dinners, this chair is where so many milestones happen. 🥰✨

Drop a 💛 if you’re part of the Tripp Trapp club!

🐻 Three Bears Bakes are supplying our cakes!🐻

If you’re joining us for our Coffee Club, you’ll be in for a TREAT when you tuck into the delicious cakes on offer provided by a wonderful family-run and local baker: 😍

We’ve opted for dairy and gluten free options so hopefully there’s something for everyone and honestly, as someone who’s partner is gluten free and knowing how bad the quality of free from bakes can be, you have nothing to fear! These cakes are so so good you’d honestly never know they were free from anything!

If you’re not able to make it to our coffee club, you should absolutely try making your way to their little cafe just outside Melksham, they’ve even got a very guilty pleasure in the form of cookie pies that are a MUST try! 😍

✨Happy Monday!✨

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend and I’m so looking forward to seeing some of you for our first Coffee Club of 2025 this week!

I know it can be daunting to come to an event like this & some of you may be nervous so I just wanted to let you know a few things:

❤️ It’s ok to feel nervous
🧡 It’s ok to turn up in joggers
💛 It’s ok to come without your baby
💚 It’s ok to use your baby as a security blanket
💙 It’s ok to ask your host to introduce you

I will be greeting you all as you arrive so if you want or need to let me know anything, just go for it!

This is a safe space and a judgement free zone 💕

See you on Thursday!

Alex 🤱🏼

Do I have to say it or can you guess?
See you there this Thursday! 😉

😴”Sleeping like a baby” 😴

How is your baby sleeping?
Who came up with this saying?! Tilly sleeps good now but oh my God that 4 month regression was awful. It lasted 3 months until we realised we had to do something to make a change!

So excited that our local sleep expert is giving up some of her time to be with us at our upcoming Coffee Club this month! She’ll do a little talk on infant sleep and will be around to answer your questions so if you’re struggling with sleep - whether it’s your baby or you she’s the person to be talking to!

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 next week!

🤰🏼You don’t HAVE to bring your baby to The Mum Club events🤰🏼

Whether you’re expecting and waiting to welcome your little one into the world or you’re a mum who’s baby are earthside already but are having a child free morning, you’re welcome at our events!

I started these events when I was 5 months pregnant because it was exactly at that time in my life that I realised I was missing a support network of women who were at a similar time in their lives. We’ve even had mums come to our events while pregnant and then return with their baby and it’s been wonderful hearing their journeys in between those meets!

Likewise, if your little ones are having a morning at childcare or are spending it with family or otherwise, don’t feel like you can’t come just because you’ll make everyone jealous with your two free hands 😙

These events are for ALL mamas. You can sit with us. 💕

❤️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 🙋‍♀️

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.

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 🙌
