I am Mum to 3 little ones, aged 6,3 and almost 1, Wife to my high school crush, Midwife at our local hospital and Creator of 'Out of the Nest'. I hope more than anything to do all these things well and maybe empower and encourage others along the way. Though its quite the juggling act, and balls do drop ALOT, so I am happy to talk about that too. xx
As a midwife I have worked at both hospitals and as a Mother I have also birthed at both. Both have strengths and both have limitations, and I must say I have had positive experiences at both hospitals professionally and personally.

The weather is indeed getting cooler and the invitation for hot chocolate is definitely becoming more enticing.
My family quite like to go out for the sole purpose of enjoying a Hot Chocolate. So, I thought I would create a list of some places in the Blue Mountains that lend themselves to being a ‘Hot chocolate destination’ in the hopes it may help you get Out of the Nest.
As the season change and your children grow you may fond yourself wondering where can I get my child a new raincoat and gumboots. This is a little list of my favourite local stores to source your wardrobe updates.
Why engage with your Child and Family Health Nurse Service?
Maybe it is because I too work in health, but I truly value this service and have benefited several times from being connected.
I received my first Blue Book with my daughter almost 12 years ago, then keenly accepted the offer for the local child and family health service to come and visit us. I benefited from the knowledge and support greatly as a new Mother, and even now having 4 children I still benefit from engaging with this service and I think almost everyone would.
So, I wanted to share a bit about how I used the service and how you might benefit from it also. Read More
