Love your writing style! What a story, I am a mum and I related HARD to this. Although, I do believe you are my hero doing it as a solo parent ❤️ I had a 6 year old son and he’s still not the best sleeper and I co slept a lot and still let him sneak into bed! But I love the snugs! To be honest this came at the perfect time for me to read, I have been feeling very overwhelmed lately and have actually taken tomorrow off work as a mental health day to rest for me. So thank you for reminding me to ACTUALLY rest and don’t get stuck doom scrolling or worse cleaning the house 😅
We are all superhero’s! I’m actually going to write a post about the difference between taking care and self care! I’m going to check up on you tomorrow to make sure you’ve done more than clean the house or doom scrolling (I don’t think Substack counts)! I can highly recommend a beautiful walk or if you have funds a spa (we have a council run one near me £18 for two hours) or having a delicious lunch! I’m slowly realising what it means to have time for ourselves xxx and thanks for saying about your six year old I feel I will still be in the Same position in two years time xxx
I'm so excited to receive your newsletter Lucy! I loved reading this article, you are unbelievably strong and your daughter will no doubt be raised the same as her mummy. I'm sure we'll be exchanging a few desperate parenting moments in the near future! I'm also that mother that stays next to my child for AT LEAST one and half hours every night to make sure she's well and truly unconscious before I slio away...I don't know why because she's bloody awake again 2 hours later.. 🤦♀️ Looking forward to chatting more and reading your articles x
Hi nice to meet you! I enjoyed reading this. Though early parent years are past me now I remember what a struggle it was. And now it is just a different kind of struggle and overwhelm 😁
Yes, I am in Portugal but your tip is actually very good still! Here in Portugal we have to stay for two days in the hospital after the birth and the plug socket is indeed a long way from the bed. Anyway, already subscribed ❤️
Massive congratulations. I’m hoping to put some more fun/relatable content on over the next week. I don’t know if you’re in the U.K.? But aside from the other essentials someone told me to pack an extra long phone cable in my hospital bag. Sometimes you have to stay in after the birth (I did) and this was such a good tip as the plug socket was such a long way from the bed xxxx don’t forget to subscribe so you can get your first proper newsletter on the 14th xxxx

I am due February 18 and your Mummy Memo sounds like something more than valuable to me. Love your writing style and storytelling skills.
Sorry just seems your in Portugal, I think xxx
