Hey everyone, I'm feeling a lot better than I was but as I'm still coughing I'm going to cancel this week to avoid passing anything on to your little ones and get myself 100% before returning to classes on Sunday.

It's never easy deciding to cancel as I still have to pay for hall hire AND miss seeing you all, but we will make up for it next week with some posh biscuits 🤣

Please do pass onto anyone who was planning to come along xx

I hate sick days.

I'm very lucky to have a job that I love teaching the loveliest of people, so sick days hit different.

I'm very aware that for some of you, my class might be the only one you would be doing this week.

Or you might have had a really difficult weekend, and were so looking forward to chatting it all through and getting solidarity during circle time.

That one of my toddlers chose the theme for class this week, and was excited to see what I was going to have in store for him.

That it's the last week of term, so it would have been your last classes before heading back to work.

It's the hardest part of being self employed, because you know that everything and everyone depends on YOU. And whilst it's been a couple of years since I've had to cancel a Pips or Piplings class, it never gets easier letting people down.

Thank you for being so understanding - I really do seem to attract the kindest of families 🥹 xx

I've finally succombed to the flu bug so many of you have been dealing with 😔

I'm impressed I've lasted this long to be honest, especially given how many children I have, and how many toddlers sneeze in my face on a weekly basis 🫣

I haven't had to cancel a Pips or Piplings class in SUCH a long time, I'm so sorry everyone - the link to your online class is in the email and posted in class WhatsApp groups, and I will update later this week with a catch up date for photos ❤️

Thanks for being so lovely and understanding, and love to everyone else floored by the January plague ###

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus!

As we celebrate Saint Dwynwen here in Wales, I thought I would share a few ideas to help get your own love hormone, oxytocin, flowing today!

💕 Wrap up warm and head for a walk to really get those happy hormones flowing! Even if you don't initially feel like it, fresh air is so good for the soul and you will never regret a little walk ♡

💕 Baby wearing - being close to you helps your baby to feel secure, loved, safe and warm. A sling is a great tool for babies with reflux or colic who love to be constantly held, leaving your hands free for other things.

💕 Skin to Skin contact - babies love to be chest to chest close to your heartbeat - it is a beautiful and reassuring place to be, helping to calm them, regulate their body temperate and recreate feelings of being in the womb... sharing a bath with your baby is a lovely way to do this!

💕 For older children, a foot rub, hand massage, or even simply holding hands is a beautiful way to indulge in skin to skin connection.

💕 Do some baking! You don't need to be an expert baker by any means - I love my bread maker, and that gorgeous smell of fresh bread filling the house stimulates the olfactory nerve. Minimal effort, maximum feel good vibes!

💕 Massage - massage helps to release happy hormones like oxytocin and endorphin, building attachment and bonding. My children still LOVE a simple foot rub, and it's when we seem to have our loveliest, most open conversations.

💕 Get cosy! Put on your pair of fluffiest socks and comfiest loungewear, and snuggle up with your baby or children in front of a feel good film under snuggly blankets.

💕 Embrace hygge! Dim the lights, light some candles (battery candles are safest around young children), get the fire going if you have one, and use fairy lights to add some magic.

💕 Dance! Kitchen discos are hugely underrated for the feel good factor!

💕 And finally, grab one of the last spaces on one of my gorgeous love bubble sessions happening in just 2 weeks time - they're going to be beautiful 🥰

Enjoy ###

A little reminder that there is NO Little Pips Cuppa Club today (thankfully because my chest is horrendous today!) and an update on Valentines party availability ❤️

I am SO sorry to my Cuppa Clubbers, but my car needs to stay in the garage overnight so I have no way of running tomorrow's session 😔

On a positive note it does mean that I can finally get my tax return submitted, reply to all of your lovely messages and enquiries, and sort out my office ready to start fresh next week with a working car and an organised life! (Ish) 🫣

Sorry guys ###

APOLOGY POST : I'm behind on replying to messages, emails, and WhatsApp group texts this week, and I really am sorry. I'm deep in sorting my tax return, and as someone with ADHD and dyscalculia, it's always a challenge.

Please bear with me - normality will resume by the end of the week! Sending solidarity to my fellow self employed people out there who have also left it until the last minute 🫣 xx
