Seventy-five days. That’s how long I’ve been writing and posting a blog every single day.
When I first started this challenge, I wasn’t sure if I could keep up the momentum. Life as a parent—especially as a neurodivergent parent of a toddler who doesn’t sleep—can be chaotic at the best of times. Add in my own challenges with dyslexia and ADHD, and writing daily seemed like an ambitious (or possibly unrealistic) goal.
But here I am, 75 days in, and I’m not stopping anytime soon.
Why I Write Every Day
I didn’t start this challenge just for the sake of consistency. I started because I wanted to create something meaningful—something that would help parents who, like me, have faced the challenges of prematurity, neurodiversity, or the overwhelming mental load of parenthood.
Each post has been a way to connect, to educate, and to remind parents that they are not alone. Whether I’m writing about navigating life in the NICU, advocating for neonatal leave, or sharing the ups and downs of raising an escape-artist toddler, my goal has always been the same: to provide support and reassurance to those who need it.
What I’ve Learned from 75 Days of Blogging
1. Showing Up Matters
There were days when I didn’t feel like writing. Days when exhaustion hit hard, when Amelia refused to nap, or when my brain felt like it was running on empty. But I showed up anyway. And in doing so, I proved to myself that consistency isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about making the time, even when it’s difficult.
2. The More You Write, the More You Grow
As someone who didn’t learn to read until I was 13, I never imagined I’d be writing daily blogs, let alone working on multiple books. Writing every day has helped me refine my voice, develop my ideas, and embrace the imperfections that come with being dyslexic. I’ve learned to write without fear—because the message matters more than perfection.
3. Connection is Everything
Through these blogs, I’ve connected with so many parents who have shared their own stories with me. It’s been a reminder that while our experiences may be different, our struggles and emotions are often the same. Parenting—especially when navigating things like prematurity, neurodiversity, or grief—can feel isolating. But when we share our journeys, we realise we are never truly alone.
What’s Next?
I’m not stopping at 75. This challenge has become a part of my routine, and I’m excited to see where it leads. Whether it’s turning some of these posts into resources for parents, expanding my blog series, or using them to support my upcoming books, I know that this daily practice is shaping something bigger than I first imagined.
