When Your Best Friend Says “We’re Separating”: A Guide for Supporting Mums Through Tough Times

06/09/2025

Last week I had coffee with Sarah. We’ve been friends since our kids started kindy together at Woollahra Public. She looked exhausted, stirring her flat white way longer than necessary before finally saying those words: “Tom and I are separating.” My heart sank. Not because I didnt see it coming (honestly, we all kind of did) but because I had no idea what to say next. If you’re anything like me, watching a friend navigate separation feels overwhelming. You want to help but dont know how. After talking to several mums who’ve been through this and even consulting with specialists…

Pottery Benefits for Children’s Growth and Confidence

05/09/2025

Clay has a way of slowing busy days. Children press, pinch, and roll, and suddenly, time stretches just enough for careful thinking to arrive. That quiet pause is where coordination, patience, and pride take root. If you’re eyeing a first class, a simple plan helps: start small, celebrate effort, and keep the focus on exploration rather than perfect bowls. Early on, it’s useful to have a local path for guided pottery making so support is nearby when questions pop up. Small hands learn fastest when pressure stays low, and when joy leads, skills follow naturally. Keep expectations modest on day…
