School Holidays: Finding the Joy in the Chaos

20/09/2025

With school holidays just around the corner, many mums know the feeling — that mix of excitement and dread. Social media will soon be flooded with memes of frazzled parents clutching wine glasses, kids bouncing off the walls, and the chorus of “I’m hungry,” “I’m bored,” “Where are we going today?” ringing through every home.

As mums, we get a chance to pause, to step away from the morning school rush of “hurry up, hurry up,” and instead enjoy simple moments — breakfast together, spontaneous…
