6 Things Your Children Will Be Truly Grateful For

6 Things Your Children Will Be Truly Grateful For

What will your children be grateful for when they look back on their childhood? Will it be all the toys they had, or the fashionable clothes they wore, or the technology they had access to, or any of the other things that tempt us parents to spend money? I doubt it. Instead I believe our […]

Parenting is Just Plain Messy

Family Life is Just Plain Messy!

This post is sponsored by Sard Wonder. I was unexpectedly admitted to hospital recently, requiring an ambulance ride, two operations in the space of three days and seven days away from our family. And while being in the hospital was far from fun and games, there was one day between my two procedures when I […]

When Your Child Just Doesn’t Sleep

A lesson in patience

Your big sister slept through the night at 7 weeks old. I remember waking from an exhausted slumber in the early hours of the morning in a complete panic because she hadn’t woken. I was positive something dreadful had happened  but she was, of course, fine. Like me, she is a sleeper. She has slept […]

How Much is Too Much? Learning to Let Go and Let Children Take Risks

How much is too much? Learning to let go and let children take risks

“Can I, Mum, can I?” she asks with big, round eyes. Every fibre of my being wants to scream, “No,” or, “But be careful.” The protective instinct is super strong in this mama bear but instead I just nod and say, “Give it a go, if you want to.” It’s natural, of course, our protectiveness. […]

How do you take your coffee? Or are you a tea drinker? Or maybe you’re like one of my good friends and don’t drink hot drinks at all? (that one I cannot understand! 😉 )  In an attempt to be healthier in 2016, I have upped my water intake and cut out sugar, and so […]

7 On Sunday: Parenting Posts We Love

Great Parenting Reads featured at Childhood 101

How has your week been? I’m not so sure I got the quiet week that I wished for last week! It was insanely hot here in Western Australia and I was solo parenting for most of the week, which is something I personally struggle with. I take my hats off to those parents who solo […]

7 on Sunday: Great Parenting Reads

7 on Sunday: Great Parenting Reads

How has your week been? It’s been a big one here – heading back to school after a nearly two month long Summer break (hello, morning routine!), our littlest munchkin heading off to 4 year old kindergarten (cue mama’s heart breaking), my work computer deciding it was time to have a little tantie and threatening […]

Immy is currently rehearsing for her very first competition dancing solo. She has danced in one comp before – in two group numbers, but this time she is going solo!
