So stop struggling alone –

Behind every magical Christmas morning is a mum who did:
🤍The presents
🤍The planning
🤍The wrapping
🤍The magic!
But sure… let’s thank the guy in the red suit 🧑🏽🎄
Save this, share it and tag a mama who makes Christmas happen 🤍
#christmasmagic #mums #mamas
If you’re already exhausted and it’s not even Christmas Eve, this one’s for you 🤍
This is your reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to be loud, busy or picture-perfect every second…
especially when you’ve got a baby 👶🏽
We don’t need packed schedules, overstimulation or forced traditions
Your little ones need comfort, familiarity and regulation🤍
And mamas?
You need rest, support and wayyy less pressure!
This is what we’re saying YES to this Christmas:
✨ naps over plans
✨ slow mornings over rushing
✨ simpler days over overstimulation
Andddd
✨ accepting help without guilt!
Because simple doesn’t mean less.
Simple means calmer.
🤍Save this for the days the guilt creeps in and share it to your stories so another mama knows she’s allowed to do Christmas her way 🎄
And tell us below: what’s the ONE thing you’re saying yes to for yourself?

Can I drink while breastfeeding over Christmas???
If you’re navigating silly season with a baby, this question comes up a lot 🤍
If you’re breastfeeding and wondering:
• Can I have a drink at lunch or dinner?
• Do I need to pump and dump?
• Will the alcohol harm my baby?
You’re not alone, mama!
Let’s talk facts, not festive fear ✨
Here’s what actually matters when it comes to drinking and breastfeeding during the holidays:
✨ Alcohol is not stored in breastmilk
Alcohol moves in and out of your milk based on your blood alcohol level. Once it clears your blood, it clears your milk!
🕰️ Time is the key factor
Alcohol levels peak in breastmilk around 30-60 minutes after drinking, then decrease if you stop.
On average, it takes 2-3 hours per standard drink to clear from your system!
👶🏽 Baby’s age matters
Babies under 3 months have immature livers and are more affected. Older babies metabolise alcohol more efficiently.
🍽 Food helps
Eating while drinking slows alcohol absorption.
🚫 Pump & dump doesn’t remove alcohol faster
The only thing that clears alcohol from breastmilk is time. Pumping is only useful to maintain supply or relieve discomfort.
And remember, a little planning = a calmer Christmas
Feed before you drink, pump ahead if needed, and have milk available if you’re enjoying more than one festive drink.
The silly season already comes with enough pressure.
You’re allowed to enjoy an Aussie Christmas and breastfeed safely mama!

The perfect Christmas tree isn’t about aesthetics or traditions👀
It’s about what actually helps your baby feel safe, settled and supported… and what helps you get through the season too 🎄
For babies, it’s usually the simple things…
Comfort. Closeness. Familiar routines 🤍
For mums, it’s support, rest and permission to do less.
This is the real-life Christmas tree !
The one built for late nights, slow mornings and tiny wins🤍
Tell us below:
🤍 What’s your baby’s favourite thing right now?
And
🤍 what’s the one thing you couldn’t get through Christmas without?
Save this for the days you want to keep things simple 🤍

Somebody has to say it…
It’s TOTAL BS.
Behind every cute Christmas photo is a woman running on broken sleep, carrying everyone’s emotions, routines, gifts, plans and meltdowns… and still being judged if she crumbles.
You’re not failing, you’re carrying too much.
You deserve support, not more expectations.
That’s why I created the free “Navigating the Holidays with a New Baby” guide + weekly grounding affirmations — to take some of the weight off your shoulders, not give you more to do.

What’s ONE something you are sick of right now?

Every birth is different. Every story matters.
Your experience is valid - however it looked.
But here`s a challenge...
Share your birth story in just 3 emojis 💛👇
Touchy subject! And this may get me a lot of criticism.
As a mother of 4 I really teach my kids that it’s so important to be nice, kind and respectful any time we go to people’s houses, otherwise they won’t have us back. Also if my children are acting up and we’ve talked and I’ve asked to stop, I will leave. No second or third chances. You have to be respectful while at others. Otherwise what kind of kids am I raising.
This is raw and brutal. What do you think?

Navigating the holidays with a baby is magical… and honestly? A LOT.
December amplifies the mental load of motherhood - the routines, the feeding, the naps, the overstimulation, the opinions, the expectations…
all while you’re running on broken sleep and caffeine fumes.
And somehow, you’re still expected to enjoy every minute.
So I created something to help.
Not another thing to “do.”
Not a perfect routine.
Not pressure.
But real support for new mamas trying to survive the holidays without burning out.
✨ MY ULTIMATE HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NEW MAMAS is designed to help you feel calmer, more prepared, and less overwhelmed during “the most wonderful time of the year.”
Inside you’ll find gentle guidance for:
🎁 navigating feeding and naps on the go
🎁 protecting your peace (without the guilt)
🎁 setting boundaries when everyone wants access to your baby
🎁 lowering the bar and choosing presence over perfection
And because I love you, mama…
I’ve also tucked in some extra festive gifts from a few of my favourite, mama-approved brands - including exclusive discount codes just for you this Christmas 🎁✨ (you know I never recommend anything I don’t truly use and trust)
🎄 Consider this your Christmas support pack - made with love, honesty, and zero judgement.

mama… can we talk about the thing no one says out loud?
December is breaking mothers. Quietly. Silently. Every. Single. Year.
We’re told to “make it magical.”
Smile.
Say yes.
Be grateful.
Hold it all together.
Meanwhile you’re running on broken sleep, carrying the emotions of everyone around you, and trying not to crumble under the weight of expectations.
And the world still wonders why you’re overwhelmed!!
Today I’m breaking the silence - about the mental load of motherhood in December, the invisible pressure, and the truth behind the holiday photos.
This is the most important blog I’ve ever written.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, stretched, unseen, or like you’re one meltdown away from losing it…
✨ Read this.
You are not alone.
You were never meant to carry this much.

Sushi? Soft cheese? Cold ham? A wine-soaked cheese board?
The forbidden foods hit DIFFERENT when you`re pregnant.
What did YOU miss most during pregnancy?

I thought it was just a drive to see the lights and a cute free Santa call… then I saw their faces. 🥹
@telstra ‘s free calls to Santa turned into one of those “they’re only little once” moments.
Note to self (and any other tired mums): they won’t remember what was under the tree as much as they’ll remember how it felt. 💫
Have you done this with your kids yet?
