Monday’s Local Mum, Natalie Weiss

My journey as a Mum has been life changing. I always knew I wanted to be a Mother, but never knew how it would impact me. I am so grateful that I get to teach my daughter all about our world and how to be the best version of herself. I love being a Mum, Wife, Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant, Early Childhood Teacher and Circle of Security Parenting Coach. All of these things make up who I am as a person.  I began my Sleep Consultant journey the moment my daughter was born! She was an awful sleeper. I was seriously…

Monday’s Local Mum, Michelle Bouabaid.

Hello there! 👋 I’m Michelle, a local business owner and mum of three. Growing up in the Inner West now living in the East, I’ve always had a deep rooted connection to community and creativity. My husband is a builder and I was an industrial designer who later gained a teaching degree. When our second child was 3 we moved to the East and haven’t looked back. Our children are now 21, 19 and 13. With our youngest now more independent, I’ve been able to indulge in some of my favourite hobbies like dancing, going to the beach and working…

This Weeks Local Mum, Shelley Millingen

Hello there, I’m Shell, and I’ve been calling the Eastern Suburbs home since 1994 when I first set foot in this colourful corner of Sydney. It’s the heart of my story, now shared with my two wonderful kids. My journey here has been as diverse as the Eastern Suburbs itself. For 15 years, I was immersed in the world of jewellery, showcasing my creations at Bondi and Paddington Markets. Each piece held a story, but life has a way of evolving. In 2018, I discovered a new calling at OzHarvest. When I first joined as a volunteer, my initial project…

Hello! I’m Aileen, a local Eastern Suburbs Artist, Primary Teacher and the proud mother of three beautiful children.  I have been teaching in Public Education for over twenty years and have loved working with children and their families.

Monday’s Local Mum, Chloe Noble

Hi, I’m Chloe, a mother to two and recently certified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner. In my former life, I worked as a TV producer making ads for TV but since having kids I’ve become a full-time mum and have found a deep passion in the birth space and in particular childbirth education. I have a deep trust in women’s ability to birth and believe that it is instinctive and doesn’t need to be taught, however, I believe that education is empowering and a positive birth experience can set women up for a positive and enriching postpartum period. I’m excited to be…

My name is Sophie Morgan and I moved to Bondi in November 1999. I have volunteered at North bondi surf club since 2001. I finished my 10 years of patrol two days before my second child was born! I taught bronze medallion for 8 years, started the weekly beach biathlon, drove the IRB, organised the parties and competed mainly on the surf ski. It was my community and life outside work and before I had children. Then I had to give up my job as export manager at Running Bare as I couldn’t travel when I had a baby so…

Monday’s Local Mum, Jayne Kenwright

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…
