Treat Your Face

Celestial Black Diamond Non-Surgical Face Lift - 90 minutes, £240
Celestial Black Diamond Non-Surgical Face Lift – 90 minutes, £240

“Make self-care a priority and book yourself in for a treatment. Get someone else to look after the kids and go! You don’t have to say it’s physio, a doctors apt or the dentist, self-care is a key factor to supporting your mental health and you should never feel guilty about it. I went to this one a few months after having my son, and it was absolute heaven. Whether you want to refresh your post-Christmas boozy face or you’re just f*cking tired, it made my skin look so much better. I looked fresher, and it was lovely to take a moment for myself.”

Book a Couples Trip

The Retreat Elcot Park
The Retreat Elcot Park

It’s bloody hard looking after tiny humans and maintaining a relationship with the person you started this mad crazy journey with. It’s easy to start feeling very disconnected from each other, and sometimes a trip away or a date night is all you need. The kids will be OK, and you’ll be so happy you took out some time for each other. Want some inspiration on where to go? We’ve got our eyes on The Retreat, Elcot Park. It was voted Britain’s best hotel by The Times and looks like the perfect place to relax and unwind. See you there!

Take the Kids to London

Tiny Hox @ the Hoxton Hotel
Tiny Hox @ the Hoxton Hotel

The Hoxton is fast becoming our favourite place to stay when we visit London.
We love it so much that we had our TMC Xmas party there! And on our last stay, we found out they also offer tons of things for kids (if you decide to bring them). They have cribs, bottle warmers, and natural organic mattresses from naturalmat Baby – who we love. And they give you a tiny tote with a colouring book and Little’uns breakfast bag. Just tell them you need a Tiny Hox when booking, and they’ll take care of the rest.

If your brain is feeling a little fuzzy and filled with baby-related Qs and issues, then you might like a grown-up chat to tune into that doesn’t involve kids.
We love this podcast and granted we need to be in the right mindset to listen (and have had enough sleep – there’s one on that), but when we’re geared up, it’s a great one to get stuck into.
Power thoughts on those walks in the park, coming home ready to take on the world / make a cup of tea.
