This vlog is a bit of a rollercoaster—from broken appliances and overflowing laundry to exciting family news and a very real chat about perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure of keeping up appearances online. You’ll come with me as I unbox something exciting for our family (hello Merlin Annual Passes!) and reveal where our next magical adventure will be. But I also get real about the tougher moments: the hidden chaos behind social media, the pressure we put on ourselves as mums, and why I’m learning to be kinder to myself. Plus, I share updates on new planner store goodies, resources to help make your routine easier (especially for neurodiverse families), and my honest thoughts on perfectionism getting in our way.

Washing Machine & Laundry System
Hoover H-Wash 350 12kg Smart Washing Machine
One of the best upgrades I’ve made to our laundry setup is our new Hoover H-WASH 350 Washing Machine. It’s a 12kg powerhouse with a super efficient ECO-Power inverter motor, but what I really love is that I can control it from my phone using the hOn app. Total game-changer! I can start or stop a cycle remotely (hello, multitasking), and best of all—it pings me a notification when the load is finished. That little nudge is so helpful for us ADHD girlies who are prone to forgetting the laundry until it’s cold and crumpled. Genuinely one of my favourite mum-life hacks.
Washing Machine & Dryer Stacker
If you’re tight on space (like we are!), the CARE+PROTECT Universal Stacking Kit with Sliding Shelf is an absolute lifesaver. It lets you safely stack your tumble dryer on top of your washing machine, which instantly frees up floor space—ideal for smaller utility rooms or cupboard setups. What makes this kit even better is the pull-out shelf, which acts as a handy little platform for sorting laundry, folding clothes, or just popping your laundry basket on while you’re loading or unloading. It’s super sturdy, easy to install, and one of those little additions that makes everyday mum-life just that bit easier.

Merlin Annual Pass News!
As mentioned in the vlog, I am thrilled to announce that I have become a Merlin Annual Pass collaborator! This means that I’ll be bringing you loads more family UK adventures on top of our Disney travels.
Locking Pin Backs
As I mentioned in the vlog, I like to use looking pin back to the children’s lanyards to avoid the children losing pins from their annual pass lanyards.
