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 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 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 [...]

Hello Lately I’ve been thinking about women in our society in particular about pregnancy and how women are happy to suffer in silence through pregnancy when it comes to back pain, foot pain and butt pain. This drives me bonkers. For two reasons. 1. There are things I can do. 2. Pain increases blood pressure. The things [...]

Hello. I figured I’ve waffled on about lots of different things lately I should probably write something about pregnancy and well, massage. When I tell people what I do, I hear the same thing over and over again. “Where were you when I was pregnant?” Well, actually, I’ve been here for the best part of [...]

Hello This week I finally got around to redoing my first aid certificate. I need to have one as a part of my massage business but I’ve been doing first aid courses since I was about 15. So off I shuffled to a nearby suburban sports club where I made very good friends with Annie the [...]
