Welcome to the chaos.

Hi, I’m Ellie. Mum, writer and biscuit enthusiast. Welcome to Millennial Mum Winging It – I’m so happy you’re here.

And if you are here, chances are that you too are a parent who’s winging it. Because there’s no manual, is there? No off switch, no standby mode. And definitely no receipts. Just a smiley midwife waving you off with a tiny squawking bundle and their very best wishes. “Good luck, don’t drop them!”

I jest (sort of.) Motherhood is an insane rollercoaster that starts with the nauseating pregnancy loop the loops (first trimester, I’m looking at you) and ends… well, it doesn’t end. It’s a thrill ride with an incredible prize. But it’s up and down and it’s okay to admit that.

Goodbye, days when I could wee with the door shut. Goodbye, hot cups of tea. Hello, tiny human I’m trying desperately to keep alive and turn into a stand-up member of society without murderous tendencies and a love of animals and a knack for separating their recycling…

You get it.

Come and wing it with me.
