The 3am Friend Concept
Hello! And thank you for reading my first ever blog post!
Starting this blog is a huge step for me, and I’m so excited to share this journey with you.
The Initial Idea
The 3am Friend… I first heard of the idea of a ‘3am friend’ from a speaker at a mum’s group I attend. The lady was talking about the importance of having these people in your life. The people you can call on if you have a crisis at 3am. A person you can do life with, be real with. Someone to share the crazy journey of life with. I loved it.
I believe it’s so important to have those people around you (through all seasons but especially when you decide to hop on board the parent crazy train! Hello!) We are made to live in community, we thrive when we have the help, encouragement and presence of another human being.
The Reasons
At this point I’d been thinking about blogging for a while, for many reasons…
-
-
- To share my experiences that could just help someone, like so many have helped me.
-
- To have a creative outlet, a hobby. As a stay at home mum, it can be easy to get lost in the daily tasks and just doing. Which after a while can become pretty soul destroying. It’s nice to have something you can be passionate about.
- As a way to really grow in the craft of writing. If you want to get better at something, you should do it a lot. People don’t become experts by accident but by experience and intentionality.

The What
So here we are. I hope that this blog and I can be a little like one of those ‘3am friends’.
The 3am Friend is about being there for people. To offer advice and encouragement to help you on your journey. Whether that be helping you with baby recipes, relationship advice, helping you pick a holiday destination or giving you some tools to help you write that book!
The Invite
I invite you to join the community, come along on this journey with me. Hopefully, together we can make the ride a little more enjoyable, even if that journey is happening at 3am!
