Cue the doom and gloom..

This Mumma is learning that unfortunately no matter how much you love your baby, it doesn’t cure your life. Sometimes I look at my son and I think, “yep, I’m doing it right”. Yet 99% of the time, I realise I’m just a failed adult with no house, a car I can’t even afford, no […]

Technically, we’re all Mums…

Something I’ve noticed about Motherhood, is the apparent need for us to fall into a category of the type of mother we are. There are young mums, yummy mums, natural mums, working mums, all organic mums, and the list goes on. On top of all the different types of mothers that are out there, there’s […]

I’m not a “Natural kind of Mum”

One of my friends has a baby that is tiny for her age and a suggestion was made to her that she give her baby growth hormones. This baby is her 4th, and she is fully breastfed and meeting milestones perfectly. This Mum was very quick to say “No thanks” to that suggestion. I was […]

“You’ll get there”

“Babies are easy, all they do is eat and sleep…”

“Well, who is it??” – Another birth story

After a not-so-complicated pregnancy, my waters decided to break on the 22nd of July in the early hours of the morning. Steven and I were away camping at a race meet that Steven and his brother were competing in. I told Steven, and told him not to tell anyone, as I would eventually go into […]

Context.

You may have run your eyes over my brief, concise and completely sarcastic bio. It’s quite ironic that I was writing that bio while my 13 week old was perfectly nestled in my bed next to me, sleeping peacefully with a beautiful smile on his face. This blog is here to talk about why that […]
