Lessons in Letting Go

Learning to let go as a parent

“Can we go to the forest park, mama?” It is bigger than most of the parks in our area and as well as the stock-standard, primary coloured jumble of plastic play equipment it has a large, grassy hill (perfect for rolling down) and, at the bottom of the hill, the most wonderful thick grove of […]

7 On Sunday: Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, Questioning & More

7 on Sunday Great Parenting Reads: Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, Questioning & More

How has your week been? Who can believe it’s March already! Though our week was one of those flash-in-the-pan type ones, where the daily routine just seems to carry you through and the day (hey, even the week!) is over before you know it. I hope yours has been free of illness and unnecessary drama! […]

This Game of Parenting Tag

This Game of Parenting Tag. Because sometimes busy family life makes parenting feel like a game of tag.

That oh so familiar voice greets me with a reminder to leave a message after the beep but instead I hang up. He’ll see that I’ve called and there is no time for wasting as I rush to plait one child’s hair while helping the other into her school shoes. We’ve been playing a whole […]

Heart hurts.

The Heartache of Hand Me Downs

The heartbreak of hand-me-downs. I know, it’s silly, right? The feels, all the feels, they overwhelm me for just a moment. The what-ifs sweep through my mind. Followed closely by, “Just stop already, slow down!” My eyes well. As much as I know my days as the mama of newborn babies are over, I indulge […]

The Thing About Parenting

The Thing About Parenting

I remember talking with a friend who had just had her third baby about this bizarre journey of parenting that we’re both on. We were mulling over the realities of life as a parent, and indeed how much our lives had changed, as we sipped on McCoffees and made use of the free playground… as […]

Why I Am Not Striving To Be A Perfect Parent

Why I Am Not Striving To Be A Perfect Parent But I Will Be A Better One

I want to be more patient with my kids. I need to lose weight. I have to get more organised. As much as this time of year is about good intentions and setting goals for the journey into the new year, it can also feel  just a wee bit discouraging to focus on all of […]

Is My Toddler’s Poop Normal?

Is my toddlers poop normal

Poop. Poo. Faeces. Stool. Bowel motion. We have all dealt with our own for many years before having children and yet somehow, dealing with our own children’s poop can have us questioning nature like never before. Even the most pregnancy book prepared parent cannot help but be surprised by those first sticky, dark greenish-black meconium […]

If Childhood Today Is Over Too Soon, What Can We Do About It?

Children Don't Have to Grow Up Too Soon. 8 suggestions for making the most of childhood.

This is a sponsored post. As I watch Immy dance around the dining room with the unabashed abandon of childhood I want to bottle this moment and hold it tight as I know this time in our lives called ‘childhood’ will be over all too soon. I just know that one day I will look […]

Best of 2013: Positive Parenting

Positive parenting inspiration from Childhood 101

2013 was a year of ups and downs for me as a parent…though when I think about it, isn’t every year? There are days, like today, when I feel like (at least for the most part) I’ve nailed it and days, like yesterday, when I know that I still have so much more to learn! […]

Getting Out the Door on Time Without Saying ‘Hurry Up!’

Childhood 101 | Positive Parenting_Getting to school on time without saying 'hurry up!'

I recently read a blog post that really spoke to me. It was this one – The Day I Stopped Saying Hurry Up by Hands Free Mama. As I was reading this post all I could hear was my own voice barking, ‘Hurry Up!,’ as sometime during the last few months I had fallen into […]
