Post Natal Depression is a serious illness and one that effects way too many Australian mothers. I believe the official estimate is 1 in 10 mothers, however the real figures would be a lot higher as many mothers go undiagnosed. Too many mothers are told they need to cope on their own and that asking for help is a sign they are a bad mother. Many other mothers ask for help and don’t receive it, ...
I am pleased to announce the arrival of Business Mums Guides - a new series of business guides written by experienced business owners with business mums in mind. Each guide is easy to read and full of practical information.
The range will be added to often, so join the mailing list to be the first to hear of new releases. Currently the print version is on the site, and ebooks will be available soon.

And I will be for a bit longer! We have no phone or Internet in our new house, and it’s driving me CRAZY! The times I do have access, I don’t get much time online, so haven’t been able to update my blogs as much as I normally would. So please bear with me - I WILL be back.
In the mean time, I have started my 30th birthday list as a page here. If you can ...
The Business Mums Conference is only a few days away now - it’s getting exciting :) I can’t wait to meet everyone who is coming.
Last night we proofed the conference handbook and it’s looking AMAZING! Donna-Marie is editing it for us and Michelle has created an amazing cover. It contains information on all the sessions and a bit about the presenters, a business directory in the back and heaps of space to take notes.
The Expo ...
OK, so we’re moving in about 10 days. My parents have been in this house for 20 years, so there are 20 years worth of stuff to sort out - and today was the start.
We went through the garage and 2 sheds - filling a skip with rubbish & putting more on the front lawn. We put 3 office chairs out on the nature strip, my brothers bet they wouldn’t last the day - but ...
The school has a cake stall fundraiser today. While N is gluten intollerant & can’t eat cake, I thought I’d still bake something - a gluten free cake that we could then buy back.
After the boys were in bed, I mixed up the cake & put it in the oven, then sat down to watch TV. I ended up dozing on the couch and forgot all about the cake 
Note to self: ...
Shock horror! It’s 7.21 and the boys are still asleep 
Usually they are up at 6 & I’m begging them to go back to sleep!
Someone, please tell me what I did differently so they can repeat this. I was up at 7 cos of the pets wanting to be fed. Seven am is a much more reasonable time than 6.
An update
Z is feeling under the weather. He got up & informed ...
Well, not entirely, the boys are around…
My parents have gone on holiday to Darwin for 3 weeks, leaving the boys and I alone with the pets (2 dogs & 1 cat). During this time, as well as general day to day tasks, we also need to get organised as we are moving! Settlement is in 5 weeks time, but I’m not 100% sure when we are moving as the Business Mums Conference is in ...
I like winter - I really do… but it’s soooo cold at the moment! My fingers are frozen and the heater is working over time.
This is a definate advantage to being a WAHM - I can work in my slippers! I’m tempted to put my lovely, warm dressing gown on over my clothes!
I just received an e-mail from someone I went to school with - she was surfing the web & came across Bad Mothers Club, and saw the report from A Current Affair last week where I commented. She then clicked through to my site & got in touch :) (Hi Tammy if you’re reading this!). We had a high school reunion last year and didn’t really get to catch up, so it was nice ...
