Why Bluey makes me feel bad about my parenting

June 10, 2021 By Tracey 3 Comments

Any parent of a small person not living under a rock (even if they wish there were) would know of Bluey. Set in Brisbane, it is a celebration of family life and is infinitely relatable. It’s the Peppa Pig of Australia which is excellent news because Peppa is obnoxious and annoying.  The episodes are diverse…

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 couldn’t find a hallmark card for Father’s Day that says this

September 4, 2016 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I don’t know any parent who thinks that they’ve got this parenting business sorted.  The people I surround myself with are perfectly flawed and mostly just 30 seconds away from mayhem.  MM and I are making it up as we go.  We aren’t always on the same page when it comes to our parenting technique.  Shit we…

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…

#shareAustralia

July 4, 2015 By Tracey Leave a Comment

  I’ve lived in Brisbane all my life.  I’ve been fortunate enough to travel overseas but it’s true, there’s no place like home. 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…
