Just a little introduction for anyone new here 🤍

I’m Vicky — mum to 4 boys, 40+, wearer of hearing aids, lover of red wine, sunrises and sunsets and pinching as much time out of life as I can ✨

This little corner of the internet is a mix of real life, co-parenting, divorce, organised chaos, home bits, honest moments and being in love again 💫

Glad you’re here 🫶

This isn’t the life I imagined when I got married.

It’s not the family structure I thought we’d have.

But it is one built with intention, boundaries, and a lot of care for the children at the centre of it all.

There were years of grief, survival, and rebuilding, which I haven't always shown on here.

And now, there’s something steadier. Quieter. Real.

If you’re rebuilding after a chapter you didn’t choose — you’re not behind.

Some things are built gently. 🤍

Four boys. Four completely different stages of childhood. Four times the chaos. 😂🤎

There are days when the house is loud, messy and completely bonkers… and days when it’s strangely quiet.

Motherhood definitely hasn't turned out exactly how I imagined it would, but somewhere amongst the chaos, the juggling and trying to be everywhere at once, I've realised just how lucky I am to have these four boys to make memories with. ✨ by @making_mumories

🎃✨ Twilight Pumpkin Picking ✨🎃

We headed to @clearwellfarm for their Twilight Pumpkin Picking and it was such a lovely autumn evening 🍂

As well as picking your own pumpkin, there’s entertainment, food vendors, a bucking pumpkin, axe throwing and an entire pumpkin village 🎃

The twilight sessions are such a lovely idea — you get to see a beautiful 🎃✨

Twilight starts at 6pm but check the website for more dates and times 🎃

Definitely one to add to your autumn list if you're looking for something a little different to do with the kids, also some beautiful photo ops 🤎

Maybe family isn't about how you started... it's who comes into your life along the way ✨️

I had some hate on a recent reel because I chose to go away with the girls for a few days without the kids.

And honestly, it made me think…
Motherhood is hard enough without us judging each other for the choices we make. 🤍

Some mums love going away without the kids.
Some mums would never want to.
Some mums can't.
Some mums don't want to.
And all of those choices are okay.

What works for one family might not work for another, and that's exactly the point.

We don't know what someone else has going on behind the scenes, or why they've made the choices they have.

So maybe we could give each other a little more grace, a little less judgement and remember that there's more than one way to be a good mum. 🤍

Let's let mums make the choices that work for their families — without feeling like they have to defend them. ❤️

Your 40s are when you finally realise you don't have to explain yourself to everyone. 😂

You know who you are.
You know who your people are.
And you know what actually matters.

Give me a small circle, big laughs, nights out with my girls and making memories with the people I love. 🥂❤️

Maybe getting older isn't the problem… maybe we're just finally getting our lives back. ✨
