Mums On The Go

I recently wrote an article for a website called Mums On The Go. Mums On The Go is not a parenting website. It's primary aim is to support Mothers to value their needs as much as their children's. Mums On the Go also has a directory of businesses that meet the needs of Mothers and are child friendly. To read my article see www.mumsonthego.com.au/blog/motherless-daughters/

Trees For Mum

This is a fantastic idea! I actually went and planted a tree for my mum this year. My husband and baby came with me and we planted two trees in honour of my beautiful mother. Make sure you tell all your friends about it for next year. For more information visit www.treesformum.com

Mother's Day

I don't know about you but I am really not a big fan of mothers day. I thought it would get easier now I am a mum but for some reason this year was a challenging one. I think it is the lead up that makes me anxious and brings up all those feelings that I probably suppress most of the year. I am very lucky though to have my own gorgeous family now, my amazing husband and my gorgeous cheeky son. I try and focus on this instead of the fact that I don't have my mother around.
