    First week fumbles, Art’s audacity & a ‘Menty-Bean’

    In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda confess their wins, losses, and first week fumbles as the pressures of parenting crank up a gear and the family calendar becomes the Holy Grail of functionality. Matty’s gripping onto the reins of school admin in the face of Art’s audacity to take it over, or worse, check her work ... They revisit their Words of the Year, including listener submissions and ambitions, which brings some confronting awareness in light of recent events. They solve a fashion crisis for a listener with places to go but no good inspo.  Hannah ‘breaks down’ the unravelling of what they’re calling her, Menty-Bean, and how she’s finding her way back on track. Finally, it’s been three years of Untidy, people! The girls celebrate their anniversary! Thanks for coming along for the ride.

  2. Best bits: Zazi Plays – “Most of my balls are rolling down the street.”

    3D AGO

    Best bits: Zazi Plays – “Most of my balls are rolling down the street.”

    In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah share highlights of their conversation Zazi Henderson (Zazi Plays @zaziplays) from the episode, ‘Communicating through chaos with Zazi Henderson’. Zazi joined the girls for a refreshingly honest chat about modern parenting and how to do it well while keeping your sanity.  They talk about why getting on the floor matters for language development, phone faces, and how the “flat effect” affects developing communication, the underrated magic of watching your child play, and that you don’t have to be the entertainer to be good at play. Zazi shares easy toy rotation tips, ideas on managing messy play and a grounded approach to respectful parenting, with strategies for holding clear boundaries. Zazi speaks about what to do when you’re triggered, why repair matters most while perfection is irrelevant, and how to find acceptance and compassion in the impossible juggle that is modern parenting. This mini ep is full of realistic, practical wisdom, deep reassurance, and easy ideas to implement at home.

    Human shields, besties in bricks & Matty's muffins

    In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda return from the structural wilderness of the holidays to the regimented back-to-school routine. They take on a mother–daughter LEGO®  challenge to build their animal besties and discover the evolving magic of going on a creative adventure with their girls. There are the dolphins, orcas, and puppies they expected, and then the less-anticipated freestyle creations, inter-generational competition, and a delightfully quiet long tail of small-human engineering in the afterglow. Matilda talks a big game with a recipe invention she claims are the best blueberry muffins she’s ever made. (The recipe is below, as promised – tell us if you agree.) Plus, the girls unpack the risk differential between parents, which becomes all too real for Matty during an incident at the airport. Finally – keep a close eye on Instagram… there’s a humdinger of a giveaway coming your way that you will not want to miss. This episode has been proudly brought to you by the LEGO® Group.

    The science of play with Annette Henderson

    In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda discuss what’s really happening in your child’s brain when they play. They’re joined by Dr Annette Henderson, a New Zealand child development expert and Professor at the University of Auckland. Specialising in how children develop communication, cooperation, and social understanding, Annette brings a deeply researched and reassuring perspective on why play is central to children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. She also offers easy tips for making the most of even a little bit of playtime with your kids, no matter how fast you’re juggling! They explore how children’s brains are shaped through everyday play experiences, from building and imagining to rough-and-tumble and solitary play. Annette explains how play supports problem-solving, language development, emotional regulation, empathy, and executive functioning. This conversation also tackles the things parents can worry most about:– Why children gravitate toward certain types of play– How preferences can be influenced by environment and experience– How to support play without over-directing– How to praise in ways that build confidence and curiosity Whether you’re sitting on the floor building with LEGO® bricks, watching your child disappear into their imagination, or simply being there, ‘playing rock’, this episode will help you understand what actually matters and why you’re probably better at playing than you think. Happy listening! This episode has been proudly brought to you by the LEGO® Group. SHE BUILT THAT – LEGO sets for creative storytellers.

  6. Best bits: Hamish Blake – “It’s just the time when your world mattered.”

    Best bits: Hamish Blake – “It’s just the time when your world mattered.”

    In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah share highlights from their chat with podcaster, presenter and comedian, Hamish Blake. This Best Bits episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered what their kids will actually remember about growing up, and hope it’s the good stuff! Hamish talks about presence, rituals, and why parenting isn’t about the activity, the advice, or getting it “right” but about showing up so your child feels like their world matters. From shared rituals and side-by-side time, to letting kids lead and playing the long game so they come to you later when it really counts, this conversation is warm, funny, and casually profound.

    Boop-boop, The Beckhams, and Matty gets scammed

    In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda cover a veritable feast of topics from the big mistake behind the Beckhams' family feud, the devastating decline of the roadside boop-boop, and the time Matilda and Art got properly and painfully scammed.  They have teenagers on the brink of independence, dogs on the brink of demise, and households descending into full renovation chaos, soon to be followed by Matty's sensibilities ...  Hannah lifts the lid on caravan politics, there's a firm toilet brush advisory, and the girls deliver a little cultural commentary, you know, for balance.

    Galloping forth, Santa’s Ghetto, and petty revenge!

    In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are ready to swing open the stable door, be slapped on the rumps, and gallop forth into 2026 for the year of the horse! They share their theme words for the year, vaguely remember what they promised themselves for the previous year, and are off on an ambitious trajectory, considering they're but a few weeks in. Slightly overwhelmed by being in a real-life studio, they recover to tidy up a bit of salutations housekeeping, Matty shares her first rant for the year, and a new cosy crime investigation is launched. What do you have to say for yourselves Warkworth??? (Any tips, leads, suspects or evidence to report? Email hello@untidypodcast.com or DM us immediately.)  Hannah high-fives a fellow butt-hose enthusiast and shares a 'chef's kiss' listener story of her petty revenge. As always, thanks for being here.
