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
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
It is easier said than done to get ‘Out of the Nest’ isn’t it. It is my goal to try and make it just a little bit easier.
I thought I would compile some ideas for local Day trips that you can do as a family.
I have looked at several suburbs in our beautiful Blue Mountains and included all my favourite places to visit when I am there.
I have based my inspiration on Places to Eat, Play, Walk, Shop and any extras I can think of.
Most destinations have the option of public transport which in itself can make the trip more fun for the kids.
Some of these ideas are simple, maybe geared to a mid week trip with young children. Others are more involved, filling out a whole day. Hopefully something for everyone.
