Summer Send Off

British Mums
About this episode

It’s our final episode of the season, and Emma is joined by Laura and Charlotte for a laid-back team chat all about summer — the highs, the headaches, and everything in between.

We’re talking caravan holiday shenanigans (Charlotte has a corker of a  story here)  Laura’s vivid imagination when it comes to holiday injuries (it’s a gift and a curse), all to the dulcet  tones of Emma’s kids making a joyful racket in the background (we tried, okay?)

Is summer a magical time or just extra work in disguise? From travelling without the nanny (Laura already has sweaty palms) to the pressure of keeping the kids entertained, we’re keeping it honest, funny, and very relatable.

Pop us on while you pack, scroll, or sneak a minute to yourself — and we’ll see you back on the sofa in September!

You're a part of this now...
