As they get older.
He is getting older. He is getting braver. More and more he moves away from me. Both literally and figuratively. Last week physically with confidence he leapt across the creek onto rocks. I had to keep calling him back. Asking him not to go that high. To stop running so far ahead. To make safe […]

As a social worker a large part of my role was to research, resource and link/refer clients/patients on to relevant supports. I actually really enjoyed this part of my role. I liked the networking […]

A letter to my mama friends.
Dear mama friend, I’m writing you a letter, because let’s be honest, our conversations in person are often interrupted by a little person either asking for food, getting into something that may cause harm or we have to clean up a mess. I write to you because often we don’t get to have deep and […]
