Don’t tell me “boys will be boys”

July 3, 2018 By Tracey 4 Comments

I have been back and forth trying to decide to write this post or not because I’m not sure if I’m looking for advice or trying to give it and trust me, I am not the parent who should be dishing out parenting advice.  Right now my son should be sleeping but instead he is playing in…

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…

Mother’s Group saved my sanity

There’s nothing like having a newborn baby that you have no idea what to do with to give your confidence a bit of a shake, rattle and roll. Newborns are divine things but by God they are hard to figure out. Having spent a bunch of years in IVF I thought I was all over the “positive…

You have to wait for fate to make its move

September 16, 2015 By Tracey 2 Comments

“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that…

Kidspot http://www.kidspot.com.au/ are inviting bloggers (that would be someone like me) to share our thoughts and experiences on the best (top 3) family friendly things to do in our corner of the…

I completely know everything about parks

June 19, 2015 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I spend an inordinate amount of time at parks. If it’s not a work day, I’m almost certain to be at a park.  Today it was twice.  Parks are nice.  There aren’t too many in my 10km radius that I haven’t met and become acquainted with.  A couple of months ago we moved from a…
