I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
Motherhood can be beautiful, but let’s be honest, it’s also incredibly hard. Motherhood has a way of shining a light on our deepest fears and insecurities. We can be surrounded by love and laughter, trying our best every single day, but often in the quiet moments, there comes this voice in the back of our minds whispering, “You’re failing.”
Last month, I shared a post with suggestions on how to support children through grief and loss. One of those suggestions was to be honest in age-appropriate ways, and we found a great way to do this was through books. There are so many options out there, so I've decided to share some of our favourite children’s books on grief and loss to hopefully cut the overwhelm and help you find a suitable one.
Today is R U OK Day, and like always every year, there are going to be a lot of posts and focus on checking in with the people around you and asking them, “R U OK?”. And while I think it’s great that we have a day centred on mental health and connection, I just felt that it still needs to be said that R U OK Day is so much more than just asking, “R U OK?”.
Even though I usually write about motherhood, I think my husband, and all the other fathers, deserve a post (and a day!) to celebrate them by themselves! As mums, I think we have the beautiful privilege of witnessing fatherhood up close. We get to see the little everyday moments that don’t always get celebrated.
