I'm So Bored of Cooking The Same Thing - Mum Chats

Welcome to the Real Life. Real Kitchen Podcast with Zoë F. Willis, English mother-of-many, Mum Mentor, and your host at this weekly gathering of real talk, real food, and real family life.

If you’ve ever reheated your tea three times before drinking it, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re folding laundry, wrangling dinner, or just carving out five minutes of calm then this one’s for you.

This is one of my short Mum Chats — a personal musing in this episode on "I'm So Bored of Cooking The Same Thing" — the kind of thing that’s often simmering in a mum's mental background while the chaos unfolds.
