Hannah Banana Parties

11/06/2026

Hi 👋

I'm Hannah Banana 🍌

I run a very physically demanding business, I'm a single mum of four boys, I'm training for two more Hyrox events this year, and I have raging ADHD.

Keeping up with life in a VERY neurodivergent household while running a business is... a lot.

Social media is part of the job, but I always try to show up as myself rather than pretending I've got it all together.

So here I am.

On the verge of a meltdown because I've just finished all the laundry (washed, dried, ironed)... only to discover TWO MORE LOADS waiting for me. 🤦‍♀️

And somehow I still need to find the time and brainpower to tackle the admin pile today.

If you've ever wondered what "working from home" really looks like, it's usually this: spinning 47 plates while wondering where the glue, the socks and my sanity have disappeared to.

So do me a favour ❤️

Give this post a like, comment, share or follow. It helps keep Hannah Banana visible, supports my little business, and takes at least one thing off my never-ending to-do list.

Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be negotiating with a mountain of laundry.

Part 2 of signing 'My Girl'

Today's parenting adventure: an exploded bottle of PVA glue.

To be fair, he was trying to fix his brother's toy.

A little reminder that children don't need perfect parents, and parents don't need perfect children. Sometimes you just need a sense of humour and a mop. ❤️

Can I pretend we actually just did a little sensory play before school!?

Today I want to shine a light on someone who quietly does so much for local families.

Ashleigh and the team at Happy Hearts Café have created far more than a café. They've created a welcoming, joyful space where children can play, parents can relax, friendships can grow, and nobody feels like they're being rushed out the door.

Their support allows Banana Bunch to run in a way that is accessible and affordable for families by removing one of the biggest costs any group faces: venue hire. Because of their generosity, families don't just enjoy the session itself, they get to stay afterwards, play, chat and build connections within our community.

Ashleigh built Happy Hearts from her own experiences as a parent and her passion for children's wellbeing shines through in every corner of the café.

So today, I simply want to say thank you.

Thank you for believing in play. Thank you for supporting families. Thank you for helping create a stronger community.

Join us tomorrow and join the love!

What a Lovely Morning! 💛

A massive thank you to Lou from Little Cherubs for spending the morning with us.

We loved giving our families the chance to learn more about the incredible work you do supporting local parents and children.

The good news? They'll be back at the end of term for another coffee morning, giving families another opportunity to donate pre-loved items, collect essentials, and access support in a warm and welcoming space.

Because community works best when we all look out for one another. 🥰

You know that bag of clothes in the boot that you've been meaning to donate for six months? 👀😂

Or the toy your child loved for a week and then never touched again?

This term we're teaming up with Little Cherubs to help good-quality children's items find their next home.

Come along for coffee, cake, and a chat, find out more about what Little Cherubs do, browse what's available, or pass on anything you'd like another family to enjoy.
