In this episode of the Bread and Better podcast, Alex shares her top mum tips gathered over a decade of parenting three kids, ranging from newborns to tweens. From practical advice on prepping for a baby to clever money-saving hacks and mood boosters, Alex covers everything you need (and don’t) for surviving the early years of motherhood. She talks about essential items that make life easier, things you can skip to save money, and simple tricks for keeping your sanity intact. Whether you’re a parent or just supporting one, these tips are pure gold!
Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.
