PlanItMum

At long last Nik, Kay and the Golden Girls Roz & Shirls have only gone and all gotten together in the SAME room for an extra special 'Ask a Mum' special

We answer your questions from the serious to the quite frankly ridiculous all with a dash of humour and a splash of prosecco (well it would be rude not to celebrate all seeing each other's actual faces)

It's good to talk...and honesty is ALWAYS the best policy, but how often do we shy away from saying how we really feel when navigating this mad old parenting journey.

This week Nik, Kay and The Golden Girls discuss how important it is to ask for help, be honest about how you are feeling and what little things are guaranteed to lift their spirits and make them feel human again when they get precious child free time ALONE :) and of course we have input from our lovely PlanIt Mum tribe

After an emotional week Nik & Kay have a good old fashioned catch up with a brew discussing the highs and lows of the week, crazy life with a toddler in tow and what they're both looking forward to after lockdown lifts ...

This week we talk about how we feel about our post baby bods and learning to love those wiggly, jiggly bits with input from our gorgeous Golden Girls, Roz & Shirls, and our lovely PlanIt Mum tribe.

This week we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to how we've experienced changes with some of our closest relationships since becoming mum!

SLEEP....If only it were that easy. And as for sleep when the baby sleeps, don’t get us started.

This week Nik and Kay discuss how sleep has changed post baby, with personal experiences, your stories and some great advice too. Whether it’s a good bonk, a good book or a good brew, this week it’s all about what gets you off at night … steady ;o)

This week's show is a big, warm hug for all the new mums out there, full of honesty and reassurance from those who have been on the same rollercoaster ride.

Nik & Kay look back and share honest stories of their own (SPOILER: There's more poo talk & even more tears - and neither belongs to the babies). 

We also hear from our PlanIt Mum community, and of course our very special Golden Girls, Roz and Shirls share some reflective words of wisdom too.

Being a parent is undoubtedly THE hardest job in the world and boy are we all feeling it at the moment!

In this Episode we cast our minds back to some of the weird and wonderful roles we had pre-babies and what life skills, or belly laughs, they gave us.

Why Nik got papped in Blackpool...?

And we hear from you lovely PlanIt Mums, and Dads, on what you got up to

This week is all about tantrums .... and not just the kid's!!
