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. 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 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 I think I mentioned a little while ago, I learnt how to henna at a workshop. Heaps of fun and as a result I’ve been practising on myself, paper and random people I could get to sit still long enough. But the time has come. I need to try a pregnant belly. Something beautiful [...]

Hello. It’s well ingrained in folklore about pregnancy causing mummy brain. The special kind of forgetfulness that makes the smartest woman become vague. If you think about this memory modification in a biological/anthropological sense, it’s so the mother’s forget the pain of labour and therefore continue to get pregnant. Sadly, the forgetting of pain process [...]

Hello. About half my clients ask for a home visit. This has mostly to do with being a post natal client not wanting to be too far from their babies or having had a C-section and unable to drive just yet. Or a mix of both. Sometimes it’s that they just want me to come visit (which [...]

Hello My family will no doubt laugh at what I’m writing about given our history but still. Many friends I know view lucozade with suspicion. In fact for some just the sight makes them feel nauseas. This is because for many years, vomiting and diarrhoea in children was treated with lucozade. Not me though. In [...]

Hello. I can’t remember if I’ve told you or not, but I used to be a music teacher. I used to sit with littlies whilst they clamboured through Mary had a dog (if you’ve heard it as many time and ways as I have you’d understand) and try to teach them about keeping rhythm and [...]
