Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?

19 of 122

We have lived with and without a TV. Here are my observations. We are now living in Sydney Australia but we were living on the Greek islands in our family home for about a year, without a TV! Without a TV my 4 year old son spent most of his time outdoors, reading books, learning to read and write, communicating with us, fami... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Childbirth & Labor The benefits of choosing midwives rather than obstetricians

I have given birth twice, the first time with an obstetrician the second with a midwife. I never imagined that there would be so many differences in the delivery process. Below are my observations that I believe every mum to be should consider! Birth 1 I had a healthy conception and pregnancy with no foreseeable problems. My... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Helping Kids Cope How to teach a child to avoid junk food

6 of 16

It started by necessity, then I realised I was on to something. I suffer from ulcerative colitis, which at times really is a disability. When I eat well, I can work, when I don't eat well, I can't leave my home. So when we began planning to have children, part of the planning process included strong consideration being given...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Living in the moment

30 of 54

A part of the day that usually goes unnoticed, simple yet meditating, and made more special when sharing with a child. I sit outside during the twilight, my most favourite part of the day.

There are TWO things that keep my weight down. Two things only.

30 of 34

I had the year off and I'd love to share my observations. I had been living a hectic Sydney life. My every moment whether awake or asleep was about my business. I was consumed, spending long hours at work, long hours bookkeeping, long hours organising the day to day running. I lost track of time, so quickly were the minutes ... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy The benefits of exercise during pregnancy

8 of 9

My personal definition of exercise? Anything that doesn't include sitting! Let's face it, unless you have a full time chef, nutritionist, diet advisor and/or personal trainer on hand to regulate your eating and physical activity, it is extremely difficult to say no the eating urge whilst pregnant and even more difficult to r...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Babies (Other) The benefits and challenges of naming babies after relatives

6 of 6

As I lay in the delivery room, having just given birth to my second son, I heard the midwife ask my husband for a name. I heard my husband say Tommy. Oh how nice, I thought, he hasn't buckled under family pressure, who were suggesting otherwise. My husband returns and hands me our son Tommy, initial paperwork with the name T... More..
