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. 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 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 [...]

Hello As it’s obvious, I’m a huge fan of the great philosopher, Dr Seuss. So when my friend Heidi fell pregnant with twins, I couldn’t help myself, but refer to them as the Things from the Cat in the Hat. Thankfully she has the same sense of humour as I do, so I got away [...]

Hello. For many of us, Good Friday has less to do with religion and more to do with the Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Childrens Hospital. There’s the telethon that’s on the teev all day, firemen and random people popping up shaking tins and all manor of people raising money for the hospital. Good [...]

Hello. As I was perusing facebook over my breakfast cuppa, this article about Fifi Box came to my attention. It says about Fifi not being prepared to be a mum. The article itself didn’t really worry me because that’s how most of us feel but the thing that really got to me was the comments [...]

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 [...]
