It takes a village to raise a child… but let’s be honest, a vineyard helps. Join two U.K. mums and best friends, Vicky & Emma, as we navigate the highs, lows and ‘what the heck?!’s of parenting babies, toddlers and everything in between - armed with emotional support wine and zero expertise.
From fertility struggles and baby classes to threenagers and the importance of ‘mum time’, we’re keeping it real, raw and ridiculously honest. Expect laughter, over sharing and wine fuelled chats that feel like a girls night in.
We’re not here to give advice - we’re just surviving motherhood one glass at a time.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of c-section and birth trauma.
This week, it’s Emma’s turn in the hot seat as Vicky asks all the questions in part one of our birth stories. We’re sipping a classic - Bella Cucina prosecco from good old Tesco - and diving into the reality of birth plans that didn’t go to plan.
From deciding what to do when overdue, to the drama of induction, a four-day labour, and an emergency c-section that ended in a major haemorrhage (which, weirdly, wasn’t a big deal), Emma shares it all.
We talk hospital bags, scans, and the ridiculous covid rules that meant Emma was alone before and after birth - and how that really felt.
There’s also a shoutout to the excellent push present, the early days of recovery, and the classic mistake of trying to do too much too soon (did the kitchen REALLY need cleaning that day, Emma?!).
It wasn’t what was planned, it wasn’t wonderful, and it wasn’t what Emma wanted - but it brought baby Lola into the world, and that made it all worth it. Cheers!
