Motherhood

The truth about holidaying with a toddler

May 21, 2017 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I do this thing when I imagine certain moments and then visualise how exactly I want them to play out.  Expectations. Hopes. Daydreams.  Recently, in the weeks leading up to a family holiday I had this image of the whole week away, a perfect time, joyful and relaxing.  Walks on the beach, Charlie splashing in the waves, sand…

Parenting is like a game of Snakes and Ladders

May 8, 2017 By Tracey Leave a Comment

About a month or so ago, there was this weather event in Brisbane that grounded the city to an annoying halt.  By weather event, I mean it didn’t stop bloody raining for a whole night and the next day.  We weren’t dry but we were perfectly safe so I’m well aware that what I’m about…

I’m that mother

May 13, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

The strength of mothers

April 22, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

It’s been a bit of an ordinary week in that I know two mothers having a really shit time right now.  Really confronting stuff and each are hurting for different reasons. One of whom I’ve been friends with forever and a day, a school friend so I’m talking 30 years of history.  Another I don’t know…

The mother I wish I was

March 23, 2016 By Tracey 5 Comments

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit anxious about my skill as a mother.  I use the word skills lightly because I’m mostly just winging motherhood, I sure as hell don’t think I’m particularly skilled at it.  I don’t use the word anxious lightly because, well I’m usually anxious about something. Between work, motherhood, being a wife, attempting…
