Busy Mums Slow Down™ Kickstart Guide

Is it time to look at gift giving in a different way?

Maybe it’s time to look at gift giving in a different way and create some Christmas traditions that really matter. Before you start calling me the Grinch and thinking I’m all “bah-humbug!” I have to tell you, I LOVE Christmas! But increasingly it’s becoming a time of excess and overwhelm. And there’s a lot of pressure.  Pressure to find the right gifts.  The biggest. The newest model. The most expensive. The old keeping up with…

5 Ideas to give experiences as gifts this Christmas

Author and minimalist Joshua Becker says many consumers in the US go into the holiday season with leftover debt from the previous year AND then rack up new debt in the current season. YIKES! “Giving gifts is an expression of love, and it has been for thousands of years. Well before our consumer-driven society, people offered gifts as a sign of respect and admiration. Kings, peasants, and everyone in-between. This is not an argument for…

Busy Mums Slow Down™

Truly caring for ourselves and our loved ones means we have to debunk the negative myths about slowing down. We really do! We CAN change our lives if that is what we truly and intentionally want. We can stop rushing around once and for all. FIRST, we must believe it. Wholeheartedly. THEN, we have to take action.  Slowing down means giving yourself the space to get to the core of what you really want. And…

Decluttering as essential self care

I know, I know, decluttering has been making headlines for a few years now, some claim it’s even… magical 😉 But I don’t want to talk about how you can keep up with decluttering trends. Instead I want to share with you why you should consider decluttering your space,  in the first place. It’s good for your brain. But you don’t need to trust Marie Kondo, or the Minimalists, or even me. Researchers at Princeton…

Move from empty to empowered

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You’re so deep into everyday chores and responsibilities, into looking after everyone and everything, into keeping things, life, your family - on track, that you feel you have nothing left to give. You’re empty. Worse, you sometimes even feel resentful that you don’t have more. More help, more time, more freedom. I’m here to tell you that it’s ok. You’re ok. We’ve all had times when life seemed unfair,…

Housework: chore or ritual?Self Love

Housework – chores or ritual?

It’s all well and nice to be talking about slowing down, doing less, self care and wellbeing, but we need to talk about the elephant in everyone’s room: housework. The latest Time Use Survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics identified that women spent almost three hours every day on domestic activities. Three hours! Every day! This is the average for Australian women, but I’m willing to take a wild guess that it’s not…

#1 Why you can personally pivot

I think positive visual reminders are important for us all. It's a good thing to be reminded of our abilities to stay focused and flow; not compare ourselves to others; step up and do the work that is required; take responsibility for our life direction and show Grace no matter what. Positive visual reminders also help us to remember that we are way stronger than we think. I hope you enjoy this visual (giggle?!) reminder…

Break free from mum guilt

Chances are, if you’re a mother, you’re no stranger to mum guilt. Whatever choices we make in our life and in our parenting, there is always a nagging feeling that we could do better, be more. Does mum guilt rear its head in your parenting days? It’s such a prevalent feeling that authors Ita Buttrose and Penny Adams called it Motherguilt and wrote a book about it. ‘Wanting only the best for their families, mothers…
