Hello I’m writing this as I’m avoiding the ominous pile of washing that is looking at me. I’m also in the need of a bit of a whinge. I hate school mornings. I hate getting up before I’m ready. I hate having to wake the grumpy Little Miss and forcibly eject her from her bed. [...]

Hello. I’m feeling a touch blue today. Nothing really bad or horrible, just blah. Not entirely sure if it’s from adrenalin fatigue or if it’s just the weather messing me round. Either way, need some cheering up. So tell me your good and happy news.

Hello. Lately I’ve been hearing horror stories from mums about their maternal and child health centre visits. Mostly in the aggressive and contradictory advice given out in the sessions. From apparent overfeeding to sleep “suggestions” which have made the mums feel guilty for doing the best they can. I was lucky. I had two amazing [...]

Hello Ok, I know using the term blessingway is a little bit uncool but I had to get your attention some how. I’m wanting to hear from mums who have had a mother blessing, from people who have organised a blessing and from people who have attended them. I want to know what you did, [...]

Hello. I’m typing this feeling just a little bit sheepish. You see, yesterday, I sneezed. A Lot. And when I sneeze it’s not your usual achoo, it’s ACHOO, ACHOO, ACHOO….. complete with startled neighbours. I sneeze loud and violently. I had a boss that left his office to see if everything was ok after I [...]

Hello. I’m going to tell you about a situation and I want you to tell me what you’d do. You’ve just given birth to your first baby. You’re breastfeeding like a champion but feeling really crap. One day you get a really bad pain in your stomach but your put it off as just something [...]

Hello As some of you know, I spent the weekend just past at the Seven Sisters Festival. It was a women only event and I was surrounded. There were babies in carriers and being fed, pregnant bellies, mums having the weekend off, aunties, nannas and grandmas and younger girls. So many it was impossible to [...]

Hello. I’ve been away visiting my family in the country. This involved taking a trip on a train and a bus. Not just a short one, but a LONG one. It started Sunday morning leaving the suburban station that also caters for the country services, at an hour that I usually only see the insides [...]

Hello I sometimes get invited to baby showers. Sometimes to work, sometimes as a guest. Today I was a guest at a friend from high school’s shower. A sneaky conversation between myself and the organiser meant I had my henna kit with me. So after all the games were played, I got down to business. This [...]

Hello Since Little Miss is a bit older (5 years old), Hubby and I have managed to have unbroken nights sleep. Mostly. That was until last night at 4am precisely, Little Miss was crying. This of course tripped off the primitive part of my brain which then started poking around until I woke. I stumble [...]
