Try our Baby scent with 20% off + all profits this week to Tommy's, Little Miracle
As we get ready to welcome another little girl into our family, I've found myself thinking a lot about those early days after having Aria.
I'm definitely no expert, and every baby and parent is different, but there are a few things that really helped me through that season. Nothing groundbreaking, just little things that made life feel a bit easier! So I thought I'd share them in case they're helpful to someone else 💜
1. Do something that's just for you
When I first became a mum, everything quite rightly became about the baby, and I stopped doing the little things that made me feel like me. For me, something as simple as getting a blow dry made me feel amazing. It could be a coffee on your own, a walk, seeing a friend, buying a new jumper, or having a bath without being interrupted. Whatever it is, don't feel guilty for taking a bit of time for yourself! It will only make you better for your family 😁.
2. Stop comparing yourself to your old life
Before Aria, I could work whenever I wanted, exercise whenever I wanted, and pretty much do whatever I wanted. So I spent a lot of time frustrated that I couldn't fit everything in like I used to. But eventually I realised that having less time isn't always a bad thing. It forced me to prioritise what really matters and be more intentional with my time 🙌
3. Let people help
I felt like I should be able to manage it all myself! But the moment I started accepting help, things felt a little better. Whether it's family, friends, your partner, nursery staff, neighbours, or anyone else around you, let people support you when they offer. It really does take a village!
4. Prep food where you can
One of the best things I did when Aria started weaning was making frozen food cubes. I'd spend an hour blending vegetables, freezing them into portions, and suddenly I'd have meals ready for weeks. On the days I was exhausted, having those in the freezer was such a relief!
If you're a parent, I'd love to hear what helped you that you’d add to the list ☺️🫶

I’ve only just seen this email so I’m a little late in wishing you and your husband huge congratulations! It’s wonderful news and such a privilage that we can be part of and share your special magical journey with you. I love Little Miracle and have just bought my second lot of the S&C. 💗🌺🎀
So very pleased for you all, huge congratulations 🥰 When I had my 2nd daughter i would feed her, wrap her up in the pram and if I had the chance I’d get someone to take her out for an hour or two, so I could concentrate my time on my older daughter. If no one was around, I’d make a packed lunch of her choosing and go to the park whilst bubba slept, then home via the library. She knew it was our special time and it really helped with any jealousy x

Such wonderful news, many congratulations to you and the family.
Massive congratulations to you and your family. Another addition to the family is such a special time. We have recently become grandparents and are so lucky to be able to spend time with baby and the new Mum & Dad. We love your stain pens – I have one in my handbag and one in the laundry cupboard, ready and waiting. I hope you get time to enjoy your pregnancy in amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Blink and it’s gone, so do find time to marvel at everything you and your body are achieving 👏🏻🥂

Congratulations! wishing you all the best for you and your family💜💜
That’s amazing congratulations 🥳
Oh WOW!! Congratulations to you and your family. Such amazing and beautiful news that I really needed to hear at the moment as I am sadly dealing with the loss of my 85 year old father in law who passed last week. Little Miracle was my comfort when I was in the hospital with the family as I had washed handkerchiefs in it just before we had to rush to the hospital. For the weekend that we spent at his bedside crying and comforting each other, Little Miracle gave me so much love and comfort while we were talking and reliving funny memories and hearing stories about my father in law with my 2 children and how gentle and loving he was as a grandad to all of his grandchildren and his great granddaughter. I know I will have Little Miracle with me and comforting me when we lay him to rest later this month. Sorry to have added some sad news onto your good news but I just wanted you to see that Little Miracle really is a little Miracle and can bring so much love and familiarity to you, no matter what life has thrown at you. Congratulations to you again and here is to a safe confinement and pleasurable easy and safe birth. Lots of love to you all and Aria is absolutely beautiful and brought a smile to my face 🩷🩷 xxx
Congratulations! I sadly suffered 3 miscarriages, so my daughter is an only child. Talking about it is the best thing to get through it. So happy for your growing family 🩷🩷
Congratulations! I bought Little Miracle just before delivering my son. It brings me so much joy as a new mum. Sometimes when I’m feeling tired, I breathe in the scent of the baby clothes and it boosts my mood a little. It’s truly the little things that help me get through the hard days.
Congratulations to both of you another blessing for you how wonderful 🌼 🌸 xx
Congratulations on your good and beautiful news so pleased for you you must be so excited to see your daughter. Just remember to take time out for yourself and pamper your daughter I’m sure she is looking forward to being a big sister. Love to all x
Ah!!!! Congratulations on your lovely baby news!
What a beautiful blessing. 2 girls! Sisters have such a wonderful bond & they will always have a ‘best friend’
Little miracle is one of my very favourite scents. I love the ‘powderyness’ of it & although I have no children of my own I think it’s just gorgeous.
Wishing you a safe & special pregnancy x
congratulations!!! i am so in love with this bottle. i gifted recently to a new mum too. quick question tho… discount code “baby” doesn’t seem to be valid?
A big congratulations to you both 🩷🩷🩷
A hug and congratulaions. I had my girls 2 years apart very exhausting. My dad and my sister and brother in law used to bring dinner round and take the girls out for long walks and when they got back they would eat and settle down for the evening.
Congratulations to you both, lovely news😊.
Keep up the good work, you’re making such a difference to the Laundry world! X
