A blog for
Mums
Hi, I’m Mae, founder and creator of Mudhutmama. I blog about parenting, children, travel and things I’ve learned bringing up three children, including twins!
Why I started
this blog
So how did all this begin? After having my first child and dealing with the shock to the system, I started to talk with other mothers who had struggled and had nowhere to turn to for advice or help and decided to do something about it. Within a few weeks Mudhutmama was born. Why Mud Hut you may ask? Well my first born loved nothing more than building mud pies in the garden and it kind of stuck!
Becoming a mother shouldn’t mean your children are your life and that’s it, this blog is to help you gather ideas and support.
Mae Barnes,
Mum of 3
