PARENTING COMEDY SHOW SCUMMY MUMMIES PERFORMING LIVE IN NORWICH - EDP 6 FEBRUARY 2018

'The duo celebrate the scummier side of parenting, from drinking wine at teatime to hiding from the PTA' Sophie Wyllie

Today’s guest post is by @vickicockerill, for those who are new to Instagram 👋🏽 and are wondering how to approach it. I think a platform which gives people a space to talk about things that matter to them, which helps you find people going through similar things and helps to stop people feeling isolated is positive, and for small businesses it can be hugely supportive in a way that wasn’t there before. Vicki’s post is in the link in the bio 👆🏼 “Whether you use it for business or pleasure there is no denying the influence Instagram has in our everyday lives. Over 500 million of us are posting over 95 million times each day on the platform. We are snapping pics of us in bed, uploading our breakfasts and our parenting fails. But, unsure where to start? How to use it for your blog or small business? Worried that you cannot keep up with the ‘power players’ of the gram’? Instagram is one of the most influential elements of social media marketing today. In the blink of an eye you can easily set up a profile, promote and sell your products, generate new leads and open yourself to a wider audience you would have not been able to before to become a more established personality or brand.....”READ MORE IN THE LINK IN THE BIO🛋 Pic taken by @emilygrayphoto when @mother_pukka came to town 💋

I have to admit, this Father’s Day hasn’t been up there in the greatest hits. Our smallest has changed, he’s worn us out. I’m very grateful it wasn’t one of those “no honestly, you go off and drive a lotus for the day” fathers days. I did write you a long story about today but to be honest I’m nervous he might be ill and not just playing us up, and then I’ll feel bad! This pic is a tiny slice of a day which is probably going to give us a story but not for a while. Not sure why I’m sharing this. Maybe so I remember a happy bit of the day. Perhaps to make a point that pics don’t tell the whole story. Maybe in the hope that someone out there will tell me my placid, chilled out little boy will come back 🙏🏼🙏🏼Onwards and upwards, eh!
Pleased to report a book has been read and less screen time consumed (ironic that I’m saying it on here I know!) I recommend The Cows by @hotpatooties... @reesewitherspoonbookclub Reading is self care. What book takes all your worries away? via @bookbub
EMBRACE IS BACK! Emails and messages have been flurrying around all week between the hospital, schools and parents about showing Embrace @bodyimagemovement again, and quickly before the schools break up for summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The date is Tuesday 26th June 18:30, tickets are in the link in bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drinks and tapas after at @lasiguanas for those who can, if you want to chat. Last time it was too late and there was so much to say! Message me to book a space🙏🏼. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The trailer is in the bio, as is another clip which is pretty great. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Liz @tiny_city_cottage is one of the passionate COME AND SEE THIS women ⚡️She is Chair of the Royal College of Midwives at NNUH and has arranged for FREE tickets for the first 15 tickets booked by members of the Royal College of Midwives, and a @clinique_bootsnorwich goody bag for the next 15 members #norwichmidwives #royalcollegeofmidwives #solidarity⚡️⚡️⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As before, we need 45 ticket reservations before money is taken and the viewing can take place. Please share with anyone who you think would like to see this, the official rating is 12A however @bodyimagemovement say “At BIM we recommend 10 years and above however if you think your 8 or 9 year old has body image issues then we suggest taking them along too x” ✊🏻🙏🏼
It’s hard to explain how wonderful it is to see someone come into a room who you know, but you don’t know them but they are so open and encouraging you feel like you do! Instagram in real life is surreal and brilliant and I love it. Thank you Gemma for being you, thank you lovely guests and I’m so sorry the people who had to bail for various family and life issues - it ain’t easy. You were missed but don’t worry, Gemma has given us a discount code, emailing it to you. Loved meeting new people tonight and seeing new friends. Thank you for your help @rootsandtootsblog @muffinandpuffinmarketing @wifeofawigwearer, Gemma: Norwich loves you too! Fab being part of a strong girls club tonight ✊🏻🌈✊🏻🌈✊🏻🌈✊🏻🌈 REPOSTING @mutha.hood 😍😍 Caught a train, jumped on a bed, met some truly wonderful people, chatted to @wegotthissometimes, ate all the cheese, trotted to @38stgiles alongside @littlehotdogwatson_emma and @emilygrayphoto with a sneaky glass of wine in my coat pocket, off to see my wonderful warehouse tomorrow morning. Norwich I blooming love you ❤️
The first ten people who bought tickets receive a goody bag tonight! AND each guest gets to take home a cheeky @minivinowines as a bonus! Thank you @mothers.wellness.toolkit @threadfriends @thenightfeed @wearetea @minivinowines @peanut @ellaskitchenuk @apesnacks And a little shout out to @emilygrayphoto and @mums_army ❤️ I apologise for any flat lay atrocities caused here. Not my strength!
Too many words and thoughts, parenting alone has broken me a bit, toddler has dropped a nap and is into everything and climbing everything, I think he is a runner 😦, daughter got run over by a bicycle in the park (she’s fine although had to bribe with chocolate to get clothes on this morning/get showered/walk) apparently I can’t just email my signed school form, I need to bring it in😬, early early mornings are all the rage, I thought being out with my kids would be more sanity saving than being in but it means my house jobs are in chaos and my husband had to get up at 4 😭to be home on time to pick up the kids. So I feel like I need the house to be acceptable so he’s not walking into carnage. And when I pulled up my toddlers trousers this morning he fell forward ON HIS NOSE😩. Totally smashing it. Hats off to the solo and single parenters. So I’m not looking forward to the weekend, I’m looking forward to right now as I am going to the shop alone as I don’t have any conditioner somehow, and tonight where I hope to be lifted by the power of the girl. That is a @mutha.hood slogan right there (it really is!). Totally got this🤔 @mamadisrupt
Tonight’s Strong Girls Club with Gemma @mutha.hood has sold out ❤️ Please message me to be added to the waiting list, thank you! #radicalthinker #stronggirlsclub #norwichevents #wegotthissometimes

Good morning ☀️I’ve had so many messages from mums about their babies going through sleep regression since my story yesterday. These hideous phases are normal and healthy I realise, but bloody hard! Also what I didn’t mention is now he’s saying Mama and crying😱 my heart is like 💔the cuddles are quite koala-like. Anyway I hope I didn’t talk it up by asking Kathryn @honestly_mum to do us a guest blog post! She is a qualified family sleep consultant. Her piece isn’t about sleep regression specifically but is a good reminder for anyone struggling. Sleep is very interesting to those not getting enough of it. Kathryn took the horrible time she had and has created a service for other families having sleep challenges. Have a read, I’ve put a link in the bio👍🏼 #sleepisnotfortheweak #motherhood #sleep #parenting
A movement: a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social, or artistic ideas. 69 women came together last night at the cinema to watch Embrace by @bodyimagemovement. It’s life changing, I urge you to see it. It will make you cross, shocked, emotional and inspired. (The pic shows how how much toxic imagery is contained in a SINGLE magazine title) It’s made me passionate about doing what I can to avoid my daughter spending hours worrying about food and weight, the diet industry makes millions from us and actually almost all diets fail and put more weight on (there was scientific evidence of this...by restricting calories your taste buds amp up their longing for the food you are avoiding! I didn’t know that!) There is no innate reason for women to hate their bodies or feel “disgusting” - it’s our environment. When you really SEE the artificial imagery of young perfect bodies in shop window posters, music videos, mannequins, magazines, cartoons, toys, video games you start to realise how your own daughter can easily grow up wanting to look like someone who isn’t real. Who’s to say that a skinny body is healthy, that’s factually incorrect. Your body, if you exercise for fun, freedom, pleasure will be the shape and size it’s meant to be, it’s a waste of time, energy and headspace to work for a body that isn’t actually achievable! Think what could be achieved, learnt, done instead. Thinner people have similar body hang ups to bigger people. Most women when asked “what do you think of your body” describe it as disgusting. It doesn’t have to be normal to pick on a body part that you don’t like. Bodies are amazing. My biggest things to take away for me personally are: 💥Get bloody moving (not being a great role model for an active lifestyle other than normal mum life at the mo) 💥If there is something you are embarrassed about just own it. No one will even notice it. 💥Focus on what your daughter does and thinks rather than what she looks like. 💥Don’t let her grow up thinking looks are the most important thing. 💥Appreciate my body for the incredible things it has done. 💥Anorexia websites terrify me. How are they legal? cont in comments..
Who’s up for feeling empowered this month 💪🏽 (every month 😂)! 💥💥💥💥 The genius who designs and makes the ultimate empowering clothes for women and children is coming to Norwich a week Tuesday. Do not miss it! She has built an extraordinary business in just over a year, has two gorgeous daughters, and is fabulously entertaining and honest. Personally I love the ethos that becoming a mother has made me MORE of a person, and I’m proud to be part of a tribe who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Gemma from @mutha.hood leads that in spades. 🌈🌈🌈🌈 Looking forward to the screening of Embrace tomorrow night (and just going to the cinema to be honest!), am expecting to come home tomorrow night a changed women, who won’t look at a pic and criticise it secretly (something about how we talk to ourselves in there)! Tickets for both are still available from the link in the bio...come out! You won’t regret it 🤗 #womeninbusiness #mamamerch #empowerment #mothers #mamameetup #mamamade #stronggirlsclub #muthahood #muthahoodgoods #norwichevents #norwich #wegotthissometimes #womensupportingwomen #bodypositive #bodypositivity #embraceyourbody #embrace
