I admit that I can at times be somewhat dramatic and prone to exaggeration, but in this instance, I really think that the abundant swirling emotions that keep knocking me around, are being felt by many mums and dads around me. I believe there are a whole heap of us “school mums and dads” that…

As you may have read in my article a couple of weeks ago (here’s the link if you didn’t and would like to), my children and I were going to participate in Jamie Oliver’s “Pack Your Parent’s Lunch Day”. Not because I wanted to use it as Jamie intended (to educate my children about his…

It’s been one week since our big day, and while I didn’t know it at the time, our big day was the beginning of one of the proudest weeks of my parenting experience. My little boy has started to grow wings and I’m getting glimpses of how he will use them and where they will…

This time four years ago, I listened as other mums talked about sending their children off to kindergarten and school for the first time. I remember clearly pushing my then three-month-old in his pram with tears in my eyes thinking I don’t want that day to come for us. Now four years on that day…
