This is motherhood.
In the early years.
Simplified.
Ever wondered if there was an easier approach to days at home with young children?
The more you scroll social media, the easier it is to become burdened by information, rather than enlightened. It’s easy to feel guilty for not doing enough or frustrated by the sheer expectations of what motherhood in the early years should be.
The good news...
👍 You don’t have to sacrifice all to be a ‘good mother’
🫶 You don’t have to create Pinterest worthy crafts
✨ You don’t need to have a play space worthy of a magazine spread
Simple, Intentional Guidance for Mothers
This is a play-centred approach to motherhood in the early years
You might be wondering, why play? Surely that will add more to my plate, rather than less? But here’s the thing:
Children learn through play.
And no, this is not the Instagram perfect version of play but real, child-led play.
Play is the foundation on which young children grow.
