Melbourne, Australia

This is my story. About being a mumma. And being little. Because, by all accounts, I am both. A vertically challenged mother of two (who is crazy original with the blog names).

Interests: Eating a meal while it's still warm, going to the toilet alone, drinking wine through a funnel

Thanks, darlin! Aren't they special? I have seen the birth ones - and I was very moved and very envious! They're stunning. I actually wanted to use them during Birth Week on the blog but ran out of time to check with you and Georgia for permission. Next time... Yes, get more! xxx

Meet Me At The Beach: our shoot with Angie Baxter

So back in November, we had some new family portraits done. Once again, we were lucky enough to have Angie Baxter shoot them for us. She did another session with us back in 2011 - you can read about that here. Harlow's arrival last year meant that we needed an... Continue reading

Have I (Robo)maid your day?

Here's me trying to escape my children... Let's just say that Mothers Day 2013 will not be remembered as one of my best. It's not that I wasn't spoiled or that I don't feel blessed. I was and I do. It's more that when you're 5, 3 and 1 year... Continue reading

In The Wake II

Day 6 after Harlow was born - someone needs a tissue...and possibly an eyebrow wax... Taking a newborn baby home is intense. They are very small and very loud and they look super-breakable. Sometimes they sleep, often they don't and then there is the question of baths, boobs, bottles and... Continue reading

In The Wake

It was just a week or so after her first daughter was born. She emerged from the birth battered, physically exhausted but moreso, mentally. She was in that newborn daze but not necessarily in a good way. She adored her little girl, yes, had fallen madly in love the moment... Continue reading

I know. Since I met Sally, I don't quite know what to do with how I feel about it. I am sad and furious and everything inbetween - nothing about burying a child makes sense. It's a helpless feeling.

Heartfelt are incredible, aren't they? And so is Sally. You'll love the prints. xx

Commented May 6, 2013 on Loss and Hope: A Birth Story at The Little Mumma

Too, too many of you. Hope was real and so very beautiful and I am a better person for having met her mother. If only I could have met her, too...... xxx

Commented May 6, 2013 on Loss and Hope: A Birth Story at The Little Mumma

They are truly a gorgeous family. I like Sally so, so much. And yes, choosing a print was so hard for me, too. They're all stunning.

Commented May 6, 2013 on Loss and Hope: A Birth Story at The Little Mumma

I know. She's so real and beautiful and perfect. Why?? It just makes no sense....

Loss and Hope: A Birth Story

As we begin a second week of celebrating birth here on The Little Mumma, it feels important to me to acknowledge when the story does not have a happy ending. Please note that this piece includes a raw and painful account of a stillbirth. If this is a trigger for... Continue reading

A (Robo)maid for Mother's Day

Once upon a time, I said to myself, "Angie, you may write a mummy blog but you are more than cleaning product reviews and infomercials disguised as giveaways." My tiny piece of internet real estate deserved to be treated with respect. I wanted to maintain an integrity by talking about... Continue reading

Of course it will. Although that's only a good thing if you want to birth at home in the bath! Otherwise, a little more warning is handy in order to get to the hospital in time.... ;) So excited for you! xxx

If you could find someone you really trusted, I would say DO IT. I kind of regret it now. I really do. With the birth of the boys, a member of the medical staff always had the presence of mind to say get the camera out but with Harlow, everyone in the room was so focused on my pushing this baby out that no pics were taken of her arrival! NONE! And then because she required oxygen after birth, we didn't get a pic of her until about 15 minutes afterwards. I can't believe it! Where was my head?? Smooth sailing until October, honey. xxx

I know! So incredible. This MUST have been her first baby because she looks mightily confused about what to do next and yet with the faintest of whimpers, baby is out. In one push, it seems! I've heard such fast deliveries do put Mum's body into shock for some time after. But Bub seems to have taken it in his/her stride judging by those healthy cries! I just love everything about it. The way she manages to balance while birthing the bub and THEN managing to grab the bub with both hands. All by herself! Seriously, I am in awe. The moments following the birth, the little gender check she does and only after a minute or so does she even look up from bub's face. I can't believe she doesn't call out to anyone. She is just so lost in this amazing moment. Yeah. Just wow. xxx

Birth Is Beautiful

Bringing a little person into the world is incredibly hard work. It can be frightening and overwhelming, the ultimate test of endurance - both mentally and physically. But birth IS beautiful - normally once it's over and the baby is in your arms. Time will generally cast the memory of... Continue reading

Birth Week: Take Two

So let’s forget that last week was kind of sort of meant to be “Birth Week” here on The Little Mumma. And let’s remember that I have three children. And also, currently, a head cold. Let’s try to forgive me for not being perfect and also celebrate the things I... Continue reading
