Welcome to Our Little North East Life
Hi, I’m a single mum of three in the North East, running on caffeine, love, and pure determination.
This blog is about real family life — the good days, the hard days, the hospital days, and the “why is there Lego in my bed?” days.
If you’re parenting while anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or just trying your best… you’re in the right place.
Meet our family 🤪
One tiny warrior with a heart condition.
Two neurodivergent kids.
One mum learning as she goes (and Googling at 2am).
I started this space so no parent feels alone in the scary bits — or the messy bits.
Because honestly? None of us have it figured out.
And that’s okay.
✍️ What You’ll Find Here
🧠 Anxiety & Mental Health
Honest talk about fear, appointments, panic, and learning to breathe again.
🧩 Autism & SEN Life
Assessments, school battles, wins that feel huge, and everyday reality.
❤️ Medical Journeys
Heart worries, hospital bags, tears, hope, and strength you didn’t know you had.
🌿 Real Family Life
Laughs, chaos, love, and occasionally hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace.
💛 You’re Not Alone
If today feels heavy…
If you’re doubting yourself…
If you’re exhausted but still showing up…
You are doing an incredible job.
And I’m glad you’re here.
