And here is one more thing that I wanted to share with you. It is a Mother’s Manifesto created by the wonderful Brene Brown. I re-read it every now and again, especially during the times when I feel particularly lost and doubtful of my own parenting approach. It’s so moving, so have a tissue ready as you read this.

Thank you again for being here, sending you all my love, Alissa x
