14/10/2025

As a mum, your home is so much more than just four walls and a roof. It’s your family’s sanctuary, your kids’ playground, and let’s be honest, it’s probably also your office, your gym, and your occasional hiding spot when you need five minutes of peace. But when was the last time you actually thought about whether your home is working as hard for you as you’re working for it? The reality is, most of us spend so much time managing everyone else’s needs that we forget our homes should be actively supporting our family’s health and wellbeing. We’re not…

Monday's Mum Profiles

Monday’s local Mum, Priscillia Kowalski

13/10/2025

Hello! I’m Priscillia, originally from France. I grew up in a small village near Lyon, where sometimes school was cancelled because there was too much snow! It didn’t happen often, but it did happen. You know how in Australia we have ice cream trucks driving around and stopping to sell ice creams? Well, where I grew up, ice cream trucks weren’t a thing – we had a cheese truck that came around our town and parked right in front of our house. We’d all go out to buy fresh cheese, cream, and butter. That probably tells you how small and…

Simple Ways to Boost Your Confidence as a Busy Mum

11/10/2025

Let’s be honest—motherhood changes everything. While you’re busy making sure everyone else has clean clothes, packed lunches, and gets to their activities on time, somewhere along the way, you might’ve stopped recognizing the person staring back at you in the mirror. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost a bit of yourself in the chaos of parenting, you’re not alone. That dip in confidence? It’s real, it’s common, and most importantly, it’s something you can work on. This isn’t about becoming someone new or achieving some impossible standard of perfection. It’s about making small, meaningful changes that help you feel…

Why you should have a LifeVac device in your home and at work. Around 700 Australians choke to death every year. Top three things you should never do when someone is choking

09/10/2025

Choking is one of the most preventable causes of death in Australia, yet it kills close to 700 Australians every year, almost two people every single day. Despite being common, many people panic during a choking incident and resort to unsafe or ineffective actions that can make the situation worse. Simon Gould, former paramedic and Director of LifeVac Australia, said choking deaths are devastating because most are avoidable. “I’ve seen firsthand how quickly a choking incident can turn fatal. People often mean well, but doing the wrong thing in those critical moments can cost someone their life. Knowing what NOT…

Finding Yourself Between the School Run and Soccer Practice: A Mum’s Guide to Keeping Your Spark Alive

09/10/2025

There’s a moment most mothers experience, usually somewhere between the third load of laundry and dinner prep, when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think, “Who is that person?” The yoga pants have become a uniform. Your bag is filled with snacks, wet wipes, and spare clothes for everyone except you. Your hobbies? You vaguely remember having some, once upon a time. Motherhood is all-consuming, especially in those early years. But here’s something we don’t talk about enough: losing yourself entirely in the role of “mum” isn’t good for you or your kids. Children benefit from…
