Mums, Crumbs & Little Ones

Hello👋🏽

I firstly want to apologise to everyone for my silence on here, to all my followers not knowing where I’ve gone or why I’m quiet. Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me, it means so much!! Hopefully I can help explain things a little and not blab to you all too much. I also hope that you are well and surviving through your motherhood journeys❣️

Life has thrown me some things to deal with this year that I didn’t expect which is why I have been quiet due to personal reasons. I have ended up on a different path to where I was before and that is why I’m no longer running classes as I’m in a new chapter of life.

I have had the absolute best time meeting so many of you amazing mummas and your little ones, I am so honoured to have met so many lovely people. Creating a safe space for you all, making memories and having all of the chats has been so amazing. I miss you all!🌻

Arlo and I are both doing well despite life’s curveballs, we’ve been through a lot from new phases, regressions, head bump at nursery (A&E) to colds and illness and back to teething! But we are otherwise good! I’ve had time out from a lot of things in my life which has allowed time for reflection and I now appreciate so many of the simpler things in life so much more like adventures in the gardens or woods despite the weather.🌳🌞

I am not sure if and how I will/won’t continue posting on this account or what I will post on here, I will update again either way though. Just now it felt right to explain to you all, but it doesn’t feel right to post anything that I am not sure what I’m even posting! I hope that my post makes sense and helps you know what’s been going on. My brains a little frazzled at the moment and I’m still just figuring things out on my new path too.

If you can take anything from this post:

“ 1. Slow down from life
2. Speak and let out every single thought/emotion
3. Let those around you, support you
4. Sing like no ones listening
5. Capture every single moment
6. Get out into the fresh air”

If you’ve got this far, thank you so much! I’ll be back on here at some point, lots of love Mhairi ❣️❣️✨

I have been a little quieter on here for personal reasons! Going to miss all of you amazing mummas ❤️✨

You may have noticed Our Lovely Mhairi has been a little quiet recently and unfortunately she is no longer going to be running Mandala classes .

We’re sad to see her go and I’ll be forever grateful to her holding the reins for the last 6 months! Thank you Mhairi . 🩷🩷🩷

We wish you the best of luck in everything you do 💫

There are still spaces available in our March blocks, book your space today! 📱

• Tiny Baby 0-3 Months

Come and join us in March with your little one and spend some precious 1 to 1 time with them. In our classes we explore themes through props, materials, sounds and movement. Mummas are also our priority as much as the little ones, we create a safe space to connect with other mums and go through this journey in motherhood together.

We would love to see you there in March, allowing you to make some precious memories with us.

🗓️February Blocks
📍The Centre, Leven
⏰ Tuesday afternoons
📲 Book via link, it’s in bio also: https://www.mandalababycompany.com/book-online

I can’t wait to see you all in Leven! But if you’re not sure about booking or what classes involve, read below! 👇🏽

We do the ice breaking and have a little group chat to start with, it makes everything a little easier knowing that other people have highs and lows in motherhood and not just you. This is so important to us and we love the connections and friendships that are made through this!

Tiny Baby 0-3 Months:

We keep things more simple for tiny babies as we don’t want to overwhelm and overstimulate them at such a young age. Class is kept gentle and for your benefit too whilst your body is still adapting to this new life.

Mandala Baby 4-12 Months:

Explore different themes each week with your baby, from texture to hearing different noises/music, to feeling and seeing different lights and props. It’s a great opportunity to have some 1 to 1 time and stimulate them for a little while so you don’t have too at home.

Toddlers 1-3 years:

In our themes each week we create a safe space for them to play and explore in their own way, choosing something that interests them whilst there’s opportunity to engage with other toddlers too. We encourage you to get involved with any activities going on during our classes!

Book your space today! I look forward to seeing you all in February! Tag a mum from Leven or in and around the area 👇🏽

Another wee reminder for us all….✨

I know too well how hard it can be going through a phase or period that’s tough and testing you in ways you didn’t know you would be tested in motherhood.

But I do always come out the end of the tunnel…. All be it, I’m normally sleep deprived, the house is messier and I’ve been surviving on chocolate and postman pat saving the day.

But there is always an end, a light at the end of the tunnel✨

🫶🏼A simple reminder for us all 🫶🏼

I find myself always thinking, what next, what else needs done, what should I be doing, what I haven’t achieved.

BUT….

We should all be cheering ourselves on for getting through motherhood day to day.

❤️❤️

Still some spaces left for classes starting next week! Glenrothes, Cupar, Leven with me 💗

Just wanted to do a wee post about January, new Year resolutions etc etc, you may be having a rough/hard time and seeing certain things could be making you feel worse.

If your January is going anything like mine it’s certainly off to a bang, Arlo’s floored with a viral infection, the chaos from Christmas is still showing and the Christmas decorations are still up because there’s just not been the time or energy to get them down.

As it’s new year it’s perfect time to set new goals, New Year’s resolutions, start new routines etc but I just wanted to post to let you know I hear you if seeing these sorts of posts is hard.

People might be getting their summer bods ready, whilst over here we are surviving on sugar just to get through the day…

You might not have mental capacity to even think about achieving anything this year if you’ve had a hard festive period or if your brain has just been fried by the busyness.

I just wanted to post so that you know your not alone if the new year is a hard time or if this years it’s been hard. I’m going to be spending less time scrolling so that I see less of these things, unfollowing people and trying to get rid of sponsored posts!

Hope your January is going okay, but if it’s not or not going to plan of how you wanted it to be, just be easy on yourself. Things are different for us mummas!

Mhairi ❤️❤️

🎅🏼Late to it but I’ve been switched off🎅🏼

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! ❤️

However I just wanted to do a wee post to share some of the things that have gone on for us on the week before Christmas to now, just to show you Christmas isn’t picture perfect like it may seem on social media.

It might you feel better and be able to relate! That’s why I’m sharing this picture and not a Christmas one! I’ll pop a wee list of the chaos that’s unfolded:

🎅🏼 Our microwave broke
🎄 Back door handle became loose
🎅🏼 The washing has been breading in this house I swear, piles everywhere
🎄 Our house wasn’t immaculate for Christmas
🎅🏼I’ve now had the cold for a week, was loosing my voice for 3 days (including Christmas)
🎄Struggling to motivate myself to do anything, trying to slow down
🎅🏼 Arlo’s been over stimulated
🎄 Arlo’s routine is out the window
🎅🏼Tree is trashed
🎄Trying to arrange and deal with these toys
🎅🏼Over indulging but that’s what it’s all about

I’m hoping that you can relate or this post is more useful than if I was to post a picture from Christmas.

Take care of yourselves too, be easy on yourself and know that my life is chaotic and everyone else’s probably are too they just aren’t sharing it.

Love Mhairi ❤️❤️

❤️ Christmas classes over and out! & the last class of 2023 today! ❤️

🎄I’ve had the best time seeing all your babies and little ones dressed up festive for our Christmas classes, creating some Christmas magic and spreading festive cheer! Also seeing some of you mummas dressed up Christmassy too! 🍭

THANK YOU ALL once again for booking in with us at such a magical time of year! We hope you all had a great time and managed to get some cute Christmas pictures! Feel free to share and tag us in them, we love seeing them 🥰🫶🏼

📲Reminder that we have January blocks available on the website for booking! Exploring your baby/little ones senses and enjoying some quality 1 to 1 time with them. Book now whilst we still have availability to suit you!

Wearing our Christmas jumpers yesterday for Save the Children✨

I’m getting into the festive spirit, wearing Christmas clothes, hearing Christmas songs on radio, Christmas classes start next week, Christmas tree and decorations are up and festive plans made.

I am going to fully embrace the chaos that comes this year with Arlo older and walking.

Chaos = memory making for us to look back on in the future and laugh about❤️

Things I’m embracing rather than stressing about, because I’ll be wasting my energy on it and not focusing on the things that really matter.

🎄The tree being redecorated by Arlo
🎁The mess, presents and stuff that will end up everywhere
👕 Christmas day outfit getting messy
📸The non-picture perfect photos
🎅🏼 If Arlo cries when he meets Santa

What are you going to embrace, not stress about?

The countdown is on and I’m so not organised!🤣🎅🏼❤️

Hope you have a fab weekend, Mhairi x

A wee snapshot into life with Arlo!🫶🏼 This morning we had granola for our breakfast with yoghurt and fruit (he ate his fruit before I got round to taking a picture)!

He LOVES it like this, I have heated it up with some milk like porridge and also made him some healthy cookies too! There are so many ways to serve it, it’s so delicious!

Bare Baked granola is free from top 14 allergies, including nut, dairy and gluten! It’s packed full of healthy nutrients and low on sugar!

It’s perfect healthy breakfast for us both, suitable for everyone in the family!

If your looking to order any granola, just send me a message! I can also bring this along to Mandala Baby classes with me so you’ll be saving on delivery & won’t need to make an extra trip out with your little one!

Hope your all having a great weekend! ❤️✨

✨C H R I S T M A S S P A C E S ✨

We have spaces left in our special Christmas classes, ranging through ages, locations, dates and times! We wanted everyone to be able to experience a Mandala Christmas.

Extra spaces have been included to make sure you can experience Christmas with your little one, we know what it’s like these trying to get a space these days!

So excited to spread some magic this year and see you and your little ones!

This was Arlo’s first ever Mandala class last Christmas, my little baby Santa🎅🏼❤️

Self Care…✨

Something that we put at the bottom of our list as mothers, there’s always 101 other things flying through our brains or sitting around us to be done.

However as the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup.☕️

I liked this little self care meaning so thought I’d share. Until I was a mum I just thought self care was, baths, face masks and chocolate but now I’ve learned a whole new meaning.

What are you doing for YOU this week? 🫶🏼✨

Hope your all surviving in this weather, stay safe ☔️

Mhairi x
