Hello. In my work, I see many MANY women in the final weeks of pregnancy. Something seems to happen around the 38th week where they feel huge and hurty and bored and they call me for a massage. Totally understand. Been there, done that. So inevitably along the way, the conversation always turns to the [...]

Hello. I’ve been seeing photos from friends of their campfires and I’ll admit, I’m just a tint green. I miss the crisp open air and the fun of hunting the wood to put into the pile to burn. I miss the peace that comes from sitting round the fire and just starring at it for hours. Sometimes [...]

Hello. I’ve been really lucky and been bouncing around different events and meeting people. Some new, some I’ve know for ages. Firstly there was the launch of Support for Mums and their families. A fabulous organisation who provide practical support for families in circumstantial crisis and one I am very proud to be a part [...]

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 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 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 [...]
