Why we need to talk about the mother guilt load

May 18, 2022 By Tracey Leave a Comment

There is a universal law that exists that states that the end of a school term pretty much sucks. The level of suckiness depends on whether it is term one or term four, but overall, the week leading up to school holidays is long and exhausting and, in my case, rarely my finest work. At…

What happens if your one child wants a sibling?

January 23, 2018 By Tracey Leave a Comment

A friend is preparing for the arrival of her second baby and this makes my heart sing. A new baby is a reminder of all that is right and lovely and hopeful.  A sweet, little being who will create beautiful chaos. Her soul is preparing to once again be transformed and I am simply looking forward to…

What I wish I’d known

October 16, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Every now and then certain pregnancy/parenting topics pop up that start a conversation, create a debate and then usually end up being labelled “mummy wars”.  I don’t buy into the whole mummy war thing – I’ve never personally come across it and I don’t know anyone who has. Unless people are talking about me behind my…

Mean girls or just bad days

July 17, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Lately I have had this messy imbalance going on that has had some implications on my life.  I have had to remind myself that I don’t really subscribe to that whole balanced life concept – my time is spent at any given time – where it is needed most at that point.  When it starts to…

I’m that mother

May 13, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I’m that mother that you see at the park. The one who has one eye on their child and another on their phone. Funnily enough, I don’t feel that I’m being watched by other mothers and I don’t feel like I’m being judged. I’ve never had anyone give me a look that says “you’re a…

Guilty of mother’s guilt

August 18, 2015 By Tracey Leave a Comment

It’s 7.30am on Saturday morning and I’m in my car.  I’m child and husband free.  It’s just me and Fleetwood Mac.  I even stop and grab a coffee and I relish the feeling of freedom.  I’m driving down the Coast to Pro Blogger and after already having spent the day before at the conference I’m anticipating…
