A weekly letter from Kate, founder of My Messy Play – because parenting isn’t tidy.
Hi, I’m Kate – mum of three, former corporate world girl, and the founder of My Messy Play.
I started this journey in the middle of my own mess – battling postnatal depression after my second baby, just trying to find moments of connection and calm. Messy play became more than a way to keep my little ones busy. It became a lifeline. A creative outlet. A quiet rebellion against the pressure to "have it all together.
Now, every Friday, I write a little letter to the community of mums who get it.
This newsletter isn’t polished or perfect – because motherhood isn’t either.
It’s real stories from my life, relatable reflections, and creative ideas to help your little ones learn, play, and process the world – while you get a moment to breathe.
Every Friday, you’ll get:
🍵 Real-life bits (no sugar-coating here) – the joys, meltdowns & everything in between
🎨 A totally do-able messy play idea – that won’t wreck your house… too much
🤣 A dollop of relatable mum-life chaos – because we're all winging it, if we're really honest!
🧠 A quick fact on why messy play is amazing for your child’s development
💛 And maybe… your next rainy-day lifesaver
It’s free. It’s honest. And it’s written with love
(and probably a bit of oobleck on my jumper).
If you believe in creative learning, connection, and supporting one another through the early years and beyond – come join the mess.
👉 Sign up below and let’s make Fridays something to look forward to.
