There was never any doubt that today would result in tears.  Mine were a certainty, Charlie’s less so and MM kept it cool. Proud but cool.  I justified my tears by telling Charlie that they were happy tears, because it was an exciting day and a special time.  We are trying to teach him that all…

I was emotionally derailed by a Kindy concert

December 11, 2018 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I am watching Charlie  doing the moves to “Santa wear your shorts” it is the night of his Kindy concert, I’m smiling and laughing and then suddenly I am holding back tears I didn’t even realise I was holding on to. I hold my breath and suddenly I am remembering when he was a newborn, a time when advice, solicited…

July 3, 2018 By Tracey 4 Comments

Things I want working mothers to know

Things I want working mothers to know

March 21, 2018 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I was sitting at my desk when my colleague approached me.   Her eyes were glassy and she looked a tiny bit defeated.  She explained that she had just taken a call from her daughter’s day care. Her daughter wasn’t well, a high temp meant pick up time was now not later.  Her husband was interstate…

What happens if your one child wants a sibling?

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…
