It’s the four words that can strike the fear of god into any parent – travelling overseas with kids. And there are usually two types of people – those who grab it with both hands and seize the opportunity and those who are more than happy to wait until their kids are out of nappies before they jump on a long-haul flight with their little ones. Me and my partner fall into the first camp...
see moreIt had been 3 long years of homeschooling, lockdowns and the general busyness of having 3 kids under 7 since we last had a family holiday. To say we were in desperate need of a break is an understatement! A holiday for us is one that is equal parts fun and relaxing but ultimately has to be – easy! I know that “travelling with 3 kids” and the word easy don’t usually go hand in...
see moreAs Keira Rumble’s son Hunter rings in his first birthday, it’s given the founder of Krumbled Foods and Habitual Beauty a chance to reflect on what was one of the craziest periods of her life. In July 2021, the entrepreneur planned to launch her skincare brand, Habitual Beauty, several weeks prior to her son’s due date.

For one, she had to pump milk during her time at work for her infant, which she thought would be okay. She had a pump that was silent, hands free and so discreet that it could be used at her desk. She had planned to pump twice – once during work and the other during her lunch break....
see more“Gahh!,” I texted my friend. “I’m so sorry I forgot to reply – mum brain in full effect over here!” On another occasion, after selling a portable speaker on Facebook Marketplace, I received a message from the buyer telling me that I had forgotten to include the charger in the box. “Oh man, so sorry!,” I replied. “That’s mum brain for you! Will get the charger to you asap!” Can’t remember the name of someone...
see moreMy son was throwing a huge tantrum, and when he turned around and said the words, “You are the worst mum ever,” I was stunned. And not just because those six words hurt, because they did, but mostly because they also brought in a rush of emotions and flashbacks. It wasn’t long ago that I had said them too—screamed them, in fact, at my own mum—in a moment of anger or frustration. I knew she...
see moreAfter watching a million videos on YouTube and TikTok, I’ve come to the following conclusion:One, parenting is a lot like making pasta. And two, there’s no one right way to cook the perfect pasta. From the classic Greek Pastitsio to the traditional Jewish specialty of Noodle Kugel to Pad Thai every culture has its own unique process that turns wheat into this beautiful unique dish full of flavours and textures. And as any Michelin-starred chef...
see moreWhat’s common between Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf? Their grand slam titles? Or their overbearing dads, who pushed them into the world of tennis and wouldn’t accept anything short of perfection.
