On this weeks podcast I am super excited to have Nikolina from @heynikolinak ,she is a mum (AKA slave) to her 2 little boys both under 2, she is also a media whiz. She is a writer and editor for 9Honey Parenting, as well as a spokesperson on Nine's Today Show and Today Extra. Alongside that Nikolina also dabbles in Travel Writing, and is a guest presenter on Getaway. She spends the 10 minutes she gets to herself a day entertaining her thousands of followers online through her hilarious 'mum reels'. Oh and looking after her other little boy Leo... (second child things). While trying her hardest to keep her career afloat during maternity leave, Nikolina came up with the idea of ‘My Mummy Loves Fudge'. My Mummy Loves Fudge is a fun book for both mum and child to read. It reminds the child how much their mummy is there for them throughout the day and night, and it gives mum a chance to giggle while she reads along. Parents are sick of the same old stories about letters, numbers, love and cuddles. It's time for something a little cheekier. We deserve it.Follow Nikolina  @heynikolinak.  Click on link to follow and order on pre-sale her gorgeous book.If you aren't already following me on insta head over to @bub2sleep for all my top tips and advice around sleep and parenting.
