Mumlings

Welcome to the Mumlings website!

We are two Yorkshire mums who are also sisters who live in the heart of The North.
We both have three children each, all of whom have additional needs of varying types and this leads to some difficulties in life, as well as some interesting situations when out in the world. We meet these needs, and manage our own mental health and personal health issues, with a lot of irreverence, swearing and frustrated ranting, which family and friends have found so relatable and hilarious for years that we decided to document it all in a blog!

There’s also a lot of love, laughter and light-hearted moments, which we can’t wait to share with you!

To protect the privacy and safety of our children, everyone written about on this blog will have code names and no pictures of any human persons will be used. We’re not ashamed or trying to hide but our children are far too young to consent to being plastered all over the internet with no protection! Plus, Mummy Bug bitches about her kids’ schools a lot and we don’t want to worry about the children being targeted by vengeful teachers!

We will be reviewing places, products and all things relating to life in general. We’re going to try and keep reviews relevant to additional needs families as much as possible but if we find something else we think will interest you, we’ll include that too.

We’ll also be writing blog posts about our lives and the realities of having additional needs, additional needs children and family life in general.

So, thank you for joining us and if you’d like us to review something or would like to write a guest post, please use our contact page.
