Our story

Just a mummy and daddy of two little cubs.

Our story begins when we fell pregnant with our first cub. Now we're a family of four, navigating our new life together.

Parenthood is full of ups and downs - but every step, every phase, has its own beautiful journey.

It can be the most heart-filling thing in the world and the loneliest, all at the same time. A mix of perfect but overwhelming emotions. We want you to know: we understand.

There are so many resources and so many different opinions out there on what you should and shouldn't do - to say it's confusing is an understatement. When we started on our parenthood path, we worked solely on recommendations and our own feelings. At Cub & Compass we share ours in the hope they might help your journey too.

We aim to provide unbiased, from-the-heart recommendations, sharing our own private and personal experiences - things we've already been through, things we're in the middle of, and things still waiting on the road ahead.

Four hands stacked together on a wooden table: dad's, mum's, a toddler's and a baby's

Two promises, before anything else

How we do things here.

It really happened

Everything here comes from our own real life - the wins, the disasters, and the things we worked out at 3am. If we haven't lived it, we won't write about it. (You'll notice we keep our cubs' names and faces off the internet - that part of our life stays ours.)

We're not experts

And we don't claim to be. We're just a mummy and daddy of two beautiful young cubs sharing our own experiences. Sometimes we have it sussed, sometimes we wing it to see what works.

We hope you enjoy the ride as much as we do! xx
