Hi everyone, I’m Ellie, I am from the UK I love my children, plants, bulbasaur and my community! Thank you for being here. Please do introduce yourself in a new post!! I wanted to create a space that feels calm, gentle, and real… somewhere we can talk about parenting, home life, mindfulness, and the messy, beautiful chaos in between. This space is for: ✨ Mindfulness that fits real life ✨ Neurodivergent-friendly support ✨ Activity Ideas ✨ Understanding SEN, ASD and ADHD ✨ Honest chats, no judgement at all A bit about me: I’m Level 3 qualified in Childcare, Learning & Development having worked in childcare for 20+years, and a mum with lived experience supporting ADHD and autistic children. Most of what I share comes from real life — things that have actually helped me stay grounded, connected and sane on the hard days. Random facts - I have a 3 children, I'm pretty good at photography and I have a Hcert in engineering! I’m really glad you’re here. Let’s grow softer, stronger roots together. Please drop a post, say hello!👋 💚🌿

So sorry but I cannot attend today! I have pulled my shoulder this morning and I'm in too much pain to sit at the PC 😭 😭 Going to try and rest it lying down!

Ever feel like you pour your whole heart into supporting your child…and then after time in another setting it feels like everything resets? I hear this a lot from parents doing 50-50 care, shared childcare, or split routines — and honestly, the exhaustion behind it is real. But here’s something gentle to hold onto: What looks like “all my work being undone” is often a child switching between two nervous systems, two rhythms, two sets of expectations. That’s a LOT for little bodies to carry. When they come back to you and everything spills out — big feelings, resistance, clinginess, chaos — it doesn’t always mean things went wrong elsewhere. Sometimes it means your space is where they finally exhale. Consistency helps, yes. But perfect alignment across environments isn’t realistic. Instead of aiming for identical parenting, try focusing on anchors your child can rely on wherever they are: 🌱 familiar language for feelings 🌱 predictable transition rituals 🌱 steady boundaries around safety and respect And to anyone feeling like their effort is being erased… it isn’t. The seeds you’re planting don’t disappear just because the environment changes. They grow quietly, even when you can’t see it straight away. If this is you right now — what’s the hardest part: the transitions, the behaviour afterwards, or feeling unseen in the effort you’re putting in? Peace and love 💕

Motivation isn’t missing. It can get buried under overwhelm, pressure, and too many expectations. Rest, ground and continue 1 step at a time.

Coffee morning tomorrow...well afternoon for me 😅 Hope to see some of you there! 💕☕
