Two words that describe our basketball camps: FUN & STRUCTURED.

24/08/2023

As a parent, there is nothing more disappointing than taking your child to holiday camps that are unstructured and all over the place. Your child will become bored quickly and you don’t receive value for what you paid for. Our Little Boomers Basketball Camp during school holidays will cover a range of basketball skills including dribbling, shooting, passing, and more. We split children into age groups to ensure the new skills and activities are suitable for their abilities. Each basketball holiday camp is organised efficiently to ensure that you are receiving value for what you paid for and that your…

22/08/2023

Do you experience bloating or IBS symptoms? You’re not alone. You’re one of the 20% of Australians estimated to experience digestive symptoms. These symptoms may include indigestion, bloating, constipation, acid reflux, gas, stomach pain, or diarrhea. Such symptoms can also be commonly referred to as IBS. But did you know the symptoms of poor gut health can also be hidden? Gut imbalances show up in many ways, and in some people, there may be no digestive symptoms at all. Research shows that poor gut health is linked with IBS, fatigue, anxiety, depression, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalance, overweight, and even cancer. Here…

Monday’s Local Mum, Jayne Kenwright

21/08/2023

Hi everyone, I’m Jayne and I’m a South Coogee local. I’m originally from Liverpool in the UK but Australia has been my home for a while now. This place is truly wonderful for raising kids! I love our local beaches, I love eating (so much!) and I love meeting up with my fellow mum friends! I also love trashy TV…but I don’t get too much time for that hobby with 2 little ones. A few months back, my job was made redundant. I thought I would take the opportunity for some time out to set up a business that I’ve…

Business & Career

Want to change careers? Here’s how to start.

20/08/2023

The first thing you need to know is that you’re not alone in wanting to change careers. A recent study found that up to 70% of the workforce are looking for a change in career, and 30% of the workforce change jobs every 12 months! Change is the only constant in life, and that includes our career paths. Many of us find ourselves at crossroads, yearning for a change in our professional lives but feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of where to begin. Changing careers as a Mum is even more challenging, with less time and more on our plates…

Kids and iPads: The Pros and Cons

19/08/2023

“My toddler has discovered my iPad, and now she loves playing with it. Should I feel guilty about letting her use it? Or are there benefits of iPads for toddlers?” Of course your toddler is drawn to a shiny, colorful screen that responds to her touch by lighting up, moving and making noise (read: coolest toy ever). And no doubt you’ve figured out that your iPad can magically captivate and occupy your tot during waits at the doctor’s office and long car rides. Good for you for giving her fascination real thought, but you can lose the guilt on this…
