What's in a name?

I think children are all so unique and incredible! Each one has thier own personality, thier own likes and interests and thier own dreams to catch. With that in mind I think the name 'A "Little" Magic' is how I see my own little boy. Even though he's little, he is mighty and to us he's like a little piece of magic.

I also think it's a nice metaphor for my own journey as a new mum because it has been incredibly hard so far and not at all like I ever could have imagined.

I like to think that a little magic lives in all of us and that magical moments happen daily, it's those moments that make it all worth it and help me to get through.

Grieving for my natural birth

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit sad but for the longest time I just couldn't figure out why? I’m 99 percent better from all of my many birth complications and I really feel like I’m starting to get the hang of this mum gig so why do I feel like something is just not right? Last week I was pushing my sweet baby boy in his swing when it hit me! I realised that what I’m feeling sad about is really like a type of grief. I’m grieving for the natural birth I thought I’d have but was brutally ripped away from me. If you don't know my birth story then that’s probably a good thing. It was all very traumatic I’m not sure I’m even ready to tell that story just yet but what I am ready to talk about is grief. Grieving for a moment lost in time... Having to let go of something you imagined for so long is really painful. It’s like saying goodbye to a little piece of your life that you thought you’d have. You really thought it would be one way but now it’s all weird and different a...

Reusable nappies: Saving the world one little bum at a time

When I found out I was having our little boy I was excited about the prospect of using reusable nappies instead of disposables. I've seen them being used in centres I've worked at and I was hopeful in doing my little bit for the environment. With all the media coverage at the moment around plastic and the damage it's doing (and this past month being plastic free July) I got motivated to try and go 100 percent reusable. It's a learning curve It's taken us a while to get there because like everything in motherhood- there's a learning curve. We started out by trying some of " The Nappy Ladies " recommendations when our baby was about 4 or 5 months old. I had three different types and every one of them seemed to leak on us. I got pretty disheartened and was about to give up when a friend of mine suggested I watch some Youtube tutorials. Great suggestion! Turns out I was putting two out of the three on wrong (the leg holes weren't done up tight en...

Our Baby Led Weaning Journey so far...

Starting solids is yet another one of those highly debated and hotly contested areas in motherhood. I personally felt like there was so much information out there and so much advice given- it's really confusing to know what is the right fit for you and your baby! To puree or not puree? Organic homemade or store bought baby food? What about gut flora and fauna? (for the record I had no idea that was even a thing before becoming a parent) How much iron does he need? What if he doesn't like anything? SOO MANY QUESTIONS!!! Recently some of my friends have been asking me how I have such a confident eater and the thought occurred to me. He is really pretty awesome at eating now but how did we get here? What I realised is that it was mostly all lead by him. We just helped him along by offering him lots of choices and opportunities to experience food in a positive way. I thought I’d share a little bit about our journey into solids so far and a bit about what I’ve learned in...
