| an honest conversation | Normal Mum with Carys Harding | 06 Aug 2025 | 00:29:50 | |
I LOVE being a mum, I don't always talk about the parts of it I don't like because I feel like there's always enough of that on the internet. The bad moments, are also simply that, just moments - but this week, summer holidays, 3 kids all needing something different from me.. I've been feeling overwhelmed - so let's talk about it! <3 | |||
| S*X got BETTER after having kids?! | Normal Mum with Carys Harding | 30 Jul 2025 | 00:30:54 | |

| 'What have I done?' - The 'Jump' from 2 to 3 | 23 Jul 2025 | 00:32:40 | |
I found the early days of going from 2 to 3 HARD! Not sure if it was because 5 days postpartum we had a round of chickenpox in the house, or if because my baby had reflux... but I really struggled, especially when social media would say it's 'so easy' and they 'fit right in' I would question myself, what am I doing wrong? Have I made a mistake? We're 5 months in now and I can confirm, it's the greatest thing and I LOVE being a mum of three, but those early days... wow! It really felt like I was robbed of my newborn bubble - not everyone's journey is the same, but here's mine! | |||
