New Blog about Loneliness and why it’s so important to make a couple of mum friends. It’s not easy. I’ll never forget the first time I went to my local playgroup - I was so worried no one would speak to me! But they did and I soon found an incredible group of women with whom I had way more in common than the same postcode and kids the same age. • I did experience real loneliness though - oddly when I became a third time mum. The mum friends I already had had moved out of the baby stage and I found it difficult meeting new mums with two toddlers in tow. I couldn’t find anyone to share my experience with. The existing friends thought I was an old hand at this motherhood business and there was a distinct difference in the emotional support I received. I had lots of practical help and I was able to take all three to classes or places with a helping hand from family and friends. But what I missed was the other (whimpering) mum to nod and listen and to say ‘me too’. I think as a third-timer, I found it difficult to admit that I was struggling because even I thought I ought to know what I was doing by now. • So that’s why I’m organising mum meet ups with the sole intention of allowing mums to meet other mums. The venue is child friendly and baby friendly. It’s a small place so you can have a sob without worrying about the whole of M&S rushing over with a tissue (true story!). There’s a free car park and buggy space. The cafe ladies are super lovely and there’ll always be someone to butter your scone when you have both hands full. • First Friday of every month at the Glencorse Centre near Penicuik between 10 and 12 • #newmum #newbaby #mumfriends #meetingnewmums #mumssupportingmums #mummeetup #midlothianmums #penicuik #glencorse #midlothian #clairehoustonbabymassage

Cannot wait to start reading this! @mummyjojouncut hope your book launch today was a massive success 💕 • I think all new mums should read this book or at least read the blog. It’s becoming more socially acceptable to talk about mental health and the struggles new mums face, but we’ve got a long way to go. Thanks to amazing, inspiring women like JoJo who are blowing apart the stigma and actually giving mums a starting point for discussions about mental health. Try it next time your chatting to your mum friends: “have you read Mummy JoJo’s book?” Just see where the conversation takes you 🦋 • #mummyjojo #mojoinjection #mumssupportingmums #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #postnatalmentalhealth #pnd #anxiety #itsoknottobeok #clairehoustonbabymassage

We are out! @daisyfoundationjulia and I met at kids’ swimming lessons: she’s my ‘swimming pool friend’! We quickly became friends because we shared a passion for supporting other mums, other women and other businesswomen. Six months later, we launched Midlothian Ladies Club. Last night we got together to discuss what’s next for the Club and it’s 2000+ members. And oh do we have some exciting plans! • Julia and I enjoyed a delicious meal and bespoke mocktails in the @the_sun_inn_ and afterwards chatted to the manager, also female. Pride oozed from her as she talked about her work and we passed on some of the lovely recommendations written by Midlothian Ladies. • Here we are playing with the brilliant @thismamadoes cards. It’s hard not to be inspired by the amazing mums out their creating their own businesses and Christina was one of the first business-mums I ever followed. • A very successful night! • #midlothian #midlothianmums #midlothianladiesclub #businessmums #mumssupportingmums #womensupportingwomen #shopsmall #shoplocal #clairehoustonbabymassage

Another day, another fully booked session! I could get used to this! My Baby Massage with Daddy Workshops are always popular - although they don’t often get fully booked over a month in advance. I’ll take names for a waiting list should spaces become available and I’ll announce a date for the next Saturday morning workshop soon - watch this space! • #babymassage #infantmassage #iaim #babymassagefordads #newdad #newbaby #newborn #edinburghdads #midlothiandads #dadsclass #fullybooked #waitinglist #clairehoustonbabymassage

As the Edinburgh Fringe performers would say....I’m a sell out! I have no spaces left in any of the three baby massage courses running this September. • Wednesdays at Glencorse Centre - FULL Thursdays at Leaf & Bean - FULL Thursdays in Roslin - FULL • To think that this time last year I was just starting out and I only had one paying customer in September ‘17! Thank you to everyone choosing my classes, keeping me in business and enabling me to do this amazing job. • October bookings are now being taken. Book early to avoid disappointment 💕 • #sellout #soldout #classesfull #booknow #bookearly #september2018 #october2018 #babymassage #infantmassage #iaim #edinburghmums #midlothianmums #supportssmallbusiness #mumssupportingmums #clairehoustonbabymassage

A little summary from Sofia, age 3, of my recent nursery visit. I absolutely love teaching little children in their nurseries - their wee faces! • #feedback #nurseryvisit #preschool #preschoolnursery #midlothian #childmassage #massageinschools #massageinnurseries #storymassage #peermassage #midlothianmums #clairehoustonbabymassage
