Do any of you remember as children the first fragrance or perfume you had? I remember having a bottle of Charlie Red and being obsessed with something called Tribe for ages. Anyone else remember that? It was a really funky black twisted bottle with a pink and blue lid. I also remember a time when I had what was possibly a rather questionable collection of impulse body sprays – anyone else?
Why you need a mama tribe
Whether you meet other mums at antenatal classes, baby groups, toddler groups or then in the school yard, it’s vital to have a tribe of women who just get it. People who are experiencing the same things at the same time, people who can offer a comforting “I’ve been there” when your toddler wont let go of your leg at playgroup; or people that you can message when you haven’t got a clue when the next non-uniform day is, or when you are just despairing at your non-cooperative children during weeks of home-school.
