Consent and the six year old

August 29, 2019 By Tracey 2 Comments

It was Charlie’s birthday party, there were 20 something mini Ninjas in our backyard. Loud and free they are screaming, jumping and laughing. So much wild laughter and the sound is like balm to the soul. Children’s laughter is pure joy and comes as a gentle reminder that innocence is not always lost. There were tears…

An ordinary life

October 2, 2018 By Tracey Leave a Comment

There is a fabulous article in the Fin Review that I read just recently called “100 Women of Influence.” Accompanied by a list of women who are trailblazing their way through life.  Those who have turned trauma into purpose (Rosie Batty) and others who are making a difference in social enterprise, the arts, business and…

Mummy Bloggers: The truth and nothing but the truth?

September 17, 2017 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Blogging for me started as an outlet from the relentless and exhausting experience of undergoing IVF. It was part journal, part relief and a way to update family and friends who knew we were undergoing fertility treatment.  It was far easier to write about a failed IVF attempt than it was to ring someone to…

Trial by social media

January 15, 2017 By Tracey Leave a Comment

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…

How real is your highlight reel?

November 8, 2015 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Every now and then there is a meme that pops up on Facebook that goes along the lines of not comparing yourself to someone else’s Facebook activity because it’s really just our highlight reel.  It rings true to me, being the queen of comparisons and all.  I know if everything for me is going to custard it seems…
