One Mama, One Shed Load of Inspiration

This week's inspiration comes from my talented and lovely friend, Lucy Berry. She's a trained Reiki master and self taught artist. Her art screams positivity and happiness and I love that it often features landmarks from our local area. Lucy now hosts fab events like Paint and Prosecco or Paint and Brunch and if you're local to the North West I urge you to get yourself booked on to one. Now on to her inspo....

I am so excited to introduce the latest instalment of One Mama One Shed Load of Inspiration. Written by the inspirational Sarah Starrs, a fellow home educating Mama and the bit that gets me most excited, a period coach specialising in cyclic parenting. Since having children I've become increasingly concious of the things I put in my body, how my body works and what I can do to help it and Sarah's content has been a huge source of accessible and relevant information throughout that journey. I urge you to read on and follow the links to find some golden nuggets for yourself....

A few years back I met Ali at the gates to my daughter's forest school and I knew on first meet that she was the kind of girl I'd like to befriend. Our daughters hit it off and despite no longer attending together we've managed to keep in touch via social media. Ali is super cool, great at what she does (if you're a small business please do check out @wordsbyali_!) and someone I think you're all going to love learning more about!...

We're back with another shed load of inspo. This installment should leave you feeling super cosy and ready for the cooler months. I stumbled across Bex on insta only a few months back but I've been loving her account ever since because I'm all about that hygge life. So grab a cuppa and settle down to a good read...

It's been a while and inspiration has been lacking whilst we've stayed indoors but that is the case no more.

Gosh, I feel like I blinked and three quarters of the year has passed. Today's blog post has been a long time in the making but I think given how drained we're all feeling this post couldn't have come at a better time.

The lovely Laura from Pop & Punch, a children's interiors store that has me making a mental wish list longer than my arm, has filled us in on her life lately. I love to follow her on insta because not only is she gorgeous both inside and out but so is her business and house! Hopefully you'll find something that tickles your fancy...

Hello, I’m Emma, 39, mum to two girls and owner of kids sun and winter hats brand LITTLE HOTDOG WATSON. We live in Norwich and spend our time when not designing stylish + innovative hats at the beach or eating sushi

So, you might have seen the awesome new collaboration I've done with Wren & Rye, you can buy your pooch a fab little bowl and a blinking gorgeous bowdangle for their collar. Literally the perfect Christmas gift! Ash is a fellow Manchester small business owner doing awesome things so it only seemed fitting that I invite her to give us a little inspo. Take a look below...

I am so excited to be working with the fabulous Becky and Kate from Small & Wild, bringing you an offer you can hardly refuse. Their herbal teas are divine. Designed for tots but equally as quioffable for the grown ups, the offer of a free box of tea is almost too good to be true. The ladies behind the brand are just the sweetest and I really can't wait for you to hear what makes them tick...

It's been a while but One Mama One Shed Load of Inspiration is back with a bang. The lovely Kat from Lola + Blake makes the most incredible pj's and bedding and is here chatting about the things that have made her tick lately.

I'm so excited to have THE Naomi Gale on the blog today. I first became aware of her little makes back when on maternity with Indie. I've since been a brand rep for her, bought a number of her products, gotten to know her personally, been emotionally invested in her extremely difficult yet happy fertility journey and can claim to be addicted to her insta stories. I just know this will be a good read!

Today's guest writer is the fabulous Claire from Play Hooray. She, like me, is an ex teacher, and has gone on to craft herself a whole new career. She's still focusing on children, but she's also championing play and providing parents with the tools they need to give their children the best start, through play. When I first came across her feed in my early days of motherhood I was instantly hooked because no matter how creative you are, sometimes you just need a little kick up the bum with a healthy dose of i nspiration, and that she brings in abundance.
