So today I was on Wilf's preschool zoo trip and for the first time in a long time, it was just me and him.

I could have taken Freddie too & that's when the little voice started...

"Freddie would have loved this."
"You should have brought him."
"It's not fair."

Mum guilt trying to creep in yet again.

But instead of listening, I reminded myself of something important...

Wilf deserved that one-to-one time too.
And Freddie? I can take him another day.

I've spent years battling mum guilt.

From being torn between Wilf and Freddie during our neonatal journey, to becoming a single mum and questioning whether I was doing the right thing.

But now I've realised something... mum guilt is just a thought.

A stupid little thought that tries to convince you you're getting it wrong when actually you're doing your best.

Building a strong mindset doesn't mean those thoughts disappear.
It means recognising them, telling them to go do one, and enjoying the moment anyway.

Today wasn't about feeling guilty.
It was about making memories with my boy. 🀍

And if you're reading this while carrying your own guilt...

Please don't listen to it!! You're doing an incredible job. 🫢🏼

There will always be another solution.
Another opportunity.
Another day.

Your children don't need a perfect mum.
They just need you. πŸ’›

A little reintroduction for all the new faces around here πŸ’›

I'm Emily, a single mum to two incredible boys.

In January 2025, I made the difficult decision to become a single mum by choice and start over. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but also one of the best.

Since then, I've focused on becoming the healthiest, happiest version of myself, not just for me, but for my boys too.

My youngest was born 3 months premature, weighing just 1lb. Since then we've navigated multiple surgeries, endless appointments and the reality of SEN life.

Those experiences completely changed my perspective on time, work and what really matters.

That's why in August 2025, I started building an online business around my family. Not because I wanted an easy life, but because I wanted more flexibility, more freedom and more time for what matters most.

I'm still building, but for the first time I can see a future that works around my children, not despite them 🀍✨️

If you're a mum navigating your own challenges, I'm glad you're here. 🫢🏼

After the week we've had, this felt like a reminder I needed myself πŸ’›

It's so easy to get caught up in appointments, paperwork, diagnoses, school decisions and everything else life throws at us.

Especially when you're carrying a lot mentally.

But in the middle of all that... our children are still growing up.
Still making memories. Still wanting us.

And one day we'll wish for just one more ordinary day exactly like these.

So here's your reminder to slow down this weekend.

Take the photo.
Stay for the cuddle.
Watch the football match.
Eat the ice cream.

Because these are the moments we'll miss the most 🀍

What's something you're doing with your children this weekend? πŸ₯°

I think one of the hardest parts of motherhood is carrying so many thoughts that nobody else sees.

The appointments. The forms. The reports. The meetings. The worrying.
The endless mental checklist running in the background every single day.

Today we made the decision to defer Freddie from starting primary school. We also finally have a plan in place for his EHCP. Which is amazing.

But it also means more paperwork.
More meetings.
More navigating systems.
More advocating for the support he needs.

And whilst the world sees us getting on with life...
they don't always see what's happening behind the scenes.

The conversations. The decisions. The fears. The responsibility.

Especially when you're the one carrying it all.

So if you've ever laid awake at night wondering if you're doing enough, worrying about the future or questioning how much longer you can keep spinning all the plates...

You're not alone 🀍

Sometimes I don't think mums are tired because they're doing too little.
I think they're tired because they're carrying too much.

πŸ’š Which slide hit home the most?

One of the best decisions I ever made was choosing a life that gave me more of this 🀍

Not because it's easy. Not because I've got it all figured out. But because these moments remind me exactly why I keep going.

The school runs. The hospital appointments. The late nights. The building behind the scenes.

Every step has been for these two boys.

My biggest motivation has never been money... It's creating a life where I don't have to choose between work and them.

And while I'm not there yet, we're a lot closer than we were a year ago ✨

My whole world. Always. 🀍
