Shannii Maree – Strong Without Realising
Life through the eyes of a woman who had no idea how strong she was becoming
It’s something that’s been weighing on my heart lately, especially because my own children have found love young, and it’s beautiful. But I keep hearing, “They’re too young to settle down,” or “They should be out there living their lives!” And it leaves me wondering—why do so many people think that being in a committed,
My husband told me that since I became a Glamma I have had a very short, sharp tongue when it comes to time wasting. And he made me realise he’s right. Yet when my granddaughter is in my vicinity I could ‘waste’ all the time in the world just watching her. And I think to
Following on from last weeks post about SAHM not being celebrated unless it’s while being a boss babe and not being supported by a partner I’ve decided to say that being a SAHM doesn’t automatically make you a better mum. I’ve seen and known those mums who may be at home but their attention isn’t

Welcome to 2022. And to start the year off this blog post is strange yet true. While yes it was written a while back it still remains the truth to how I operate. Just in case you have ever wondered what it’s like to be me, here is a morning in my life: Take son
My opinion on the issue with society and when it comes down to parenting is this – We have been told over and over that we don’t know best. That we can’t trust our own voices and bodies. That other people know better. That’s why there are parents who run to the ER with every
