Welcome!!!
My name is Rachel (the one in the picture below with the windswept hair) and I am thrilled that you are here.
Whether you have made the decision to move your family to the Blue Mountains or have lived here a while but now starting a family, you are in the right place.
The Blue Mountains is a wonderful place to raise a family and I hope you are already feeling the warmth of our community.
It was my own experience becoming a parent that it can be isolating if you don’t know how to navigate resources and where to make connection with others, so I created this space to help.
Out of the Nest exists to Connect, Equip and Resource local families- so here is a little map of how you can use this website to help navigate parenting in the Blue Mountains.
Are you looking for a place to go with your kids?
Playground, playgroup, café, bushwalks and more…
Then click on where you live and then search all the categories.
Are you looking for something to do as a family this week?
Then scroll through Events or click on Indoor or Outdoor Activities to search further options.
Are you looking to keep up to date with things happening in and around the Blue Mountains that are family orientated?
I will share and post so you are in the loop as much as I am.

I will drop an email into your inbox once a month with updates on things you may have missed.

Then search the groups in and around you.
Are you looking to find some empathy and encouragement on the Motherhood Journey?
Here you will receive new blog content and highlights of other content produced.
Here you can search new and old Blogs about Motherhood and living in the Blue Mountains.
Here I talk more about Enriched Motherhood. I hope my journey will empathise with, encourage and enrich yours.
Are you looking for Activities and services to serve you as a mum?
Then search through the files on both ‘Maternal Health and Recreation’ ‘Maternity Services’ and ‘Support’.
Here you will find local practitioners, local classes and support groups that are geared to support you as a Mum in the Blue Mountains.
