Every mum needs a good Mums Group

 I began my day with items spewing from my overstuffed nappy bag, as I attempted to wrestle my pram, screaming baby and aforementioned bag into the car, 30 minutes later than planned, for Week 2 of my Mothers Group. 

As I arrived and saw with relief the supportive smiles and similar tired, and somewhat bewildered eyes, I instantly lifted and felt a gush of relief that I was going to be OK, despite the mornings crazy and panicky thoughts racing around my head, full of mothers guilt and hormone induced, sleep deprived, monsters! 

After 2 sessions with my new comrades in this battle we call motherhood, I can honestly tell you that EVERY mum needs a good mothers group! My fellow sleep deprivationists were there to offer a few kind words, looks and gestures that literally turned my world around, and I know that they felt the same too. As we joked about the days that had been so challenging that we had almost surrendered, and compared battle scars and plans of attack, we grew stronger, lighter and a damn sight happier! 

Every mum needs a good mums group, so if you haven't yet joined one, or you are a mum of a toddler or older kid, go ahead to the Australian Playgroup Association website, ask at your local Early Childhood Centre or check the Australian Breastfeeding Association! 

We are always open to new friendly faces, so if you are pregnant or have a new baby and would like to come along to our coffee/play dates or activity days, drop me a line! xxx
