This is the period care bag I’m putting together for my daughter, along with lots of open conversations, so she feels as prepared, calm, and empowered as possible during this new chapter. 💗

The first few years after a girl’s first period can be unpredictable, so having a little kit ready to go in her school bag can make such a difference.

Inside I’ve included:
🌸 2 organic pads
🌸 WaterWipes
🌸 Organic cotton underwear
🌸 A positive affirmation card
🌸 A menstrual cycle tracker to log her bleed, emotions, and symptoms
🌸 A discreet bag for any stained underwear
🌸 A calming essential oil roller for moments of stress or overwhelm
🌸 A small heat patch for cramps and comfort

My hope is that she knows her period is nothing to fear, nothing to hide, and something she can navigate with confidence.

I’d love to hear from you... What would you add to a period care bag? 💕 Let’s help each other raise confident, informed girls.

July 2026 you’ve been good for the soul: Irish heatwave, birthday celebrations in beautiful Chamonix, busy in work à d plenty of time spent in nature

The first few years (approx 3 years) after a girl’s first period can look a little unpredictable.

Periods may be:
• Early or late
• Light one month and heavier the next
• Occasionally missed
• Accompanied by different symptoms from cycle to cycle

This can happen because the communication between the brain and ovaries is still maturing.

So an irregular cycle in early adolescence isn’t automatically something to fear.

But **severe or debilitating pain is different**. If period pain interferes with school, normal activities, or daily life, it deserves medical attention.

💗 Don’t dismiss significant pain as something she simply has to endure.

Think puberty begins with the first period?

Not quite.

There are several stages of development, and some changes can happen well before menstruation.

You may first notice:
✨ Changes in body odour
✨ Oilier skin
✨ P***c or underarm hair
✨ Breast development
✨ A growth spurt
✨ Vaginal discharge

Every girl develops at her own pace.

The goal isn’t to compare her timeline with her friends it’s to help her understand that her body is changing normally and gradually.

The earlier we make these conversations normal, the less intimidating puberty becomes.

Your daughter’s first period is a big milestone but it doesn’t have to be scary or awkward.

The best preparation starts before it happens.

Talk openly about:
🩸 What a period is
🌱 Why her body is changing
💬 What she might notice before her first period
👜 What to keep in a small period kit

When girls understand what’s happening, they’re less likely to feel frightened or ashamed.

Knowledge builds confidence. And confidence makes puberty easier to navigate.

Start the conversation early. 💗

The first bleed is not the only sign of puberty. 🩷

One of the things I really want us to teach our teens is that puberty is a journey and the first period is just one milestone along the way. It is not the destination, and it is certainly not the only change happening in their body.

Breast development can begin well before the first bleed. They may also notice:

✨ P***c hair
✨ Changes in mood and emotions
✨ Cervical mucus/discharge — which may show up in their underwear
✨ Breast growth and tenderness
✨ Changes in body shape
✨ And, eventually, their first period

And even after that first bleed, the journey continues. The menstrual cycle is still developing and can take a couple of years to become more settled and predictable.

When we educate our teens about all these changes, we help them understand that what is happening to their body is normal and give them the confidence to ask questions.

Because if we don’t give them the information, they may turn to friends, social media, or Google to fill in the gaps.

Let’s give them the knowledge before they need to go looking for it. Let me help you. 💕

🥤 Build a balanced smoothie with your child! 💚

A simple way to pack more goodness into one delicious drink. Let your little one choose the colours and ingredients while you build a balanced blend together:

💪 Protein: Greek yoghurt, kefir, milk or soya milk
🥑 Healthy fats: avocado, nuts and seeds
🌾 Complex carbs: oats
🌈 Colour & goodness: spinach, blueberries, strawberries, mango and blackberries

Making smoothies together can be a fun way to explore new flavours, textures and healthy foods. 🥰

Blend, taste, enjoy and make it your own! 🫐🍓🥭
