My husband choose the music to play while everyone was leaving the church. It was an instrumental cover of the Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime show) theme music 🙃

When another kid has a meltdown at church, part of me feels sympathy for the parents, part of me is glad it's not my toddler losing it this time, and part of me is concerned at how she watches the meltdown carefully like she is taking notes for next time 😬

Mother's Day is hard for different people in different ways. On a day I mourn my lost babies, it is helpful for me to look outward and remember other people and their situations.

I wrote for Growing Faith about my journey as a mother of only one child: growingfaith.com.au/articles/wha...

My toddler can now say 'fork' but not very clearly 😬

Snapshot of my life: packing my bag to run a National Trust Tour of a historic church, and first removing all the socks my toddler has discarded and handed to me over the last week

In charge of the icebreaker for my bible study group this week, so they are getting unhinged chickens

I need to stop buying clothes in the hope it will make me feel better about myself. The inherent problem is that my body just looks bad in everything.

Hi - here are some beautiful things I looked at over the last week on my holiday to celebrate turning 30 later this month

having cats is one of life’s greatest joys. if you don’t have cats I suggest you get at least two

Explored an incredible 1920s art Deco house and gardens yesterday (despite the drizzle, it was great!)

This article was great! Particularly as I turn 30 at the end of May and contemplate what I have done/survived so far

Good morning! It’s a beautiful day today, but I’d love to know: Where are you April 29th? 💫💙

Not to be dramatic, but booking this renovated church to stay in for my 30th birthday holiday might have been one of the best decisions I have ever made

Okay, trying to post things that make me happy over the next week or so to trick my brain into noticing the good things! We visited a historic house in Sydney's east and it was a lovely day and my toddler had a blast climbing old stairs 😊

I love it when Christians are like "well it's not a crime to be rich!!! We shouldn't judge people who are rich!!" and the whole time I'm just thinking about how Jesus did ... exactly that.

Going to be starting a week and a half of holidays soon, and I am struggling with my mental health. Considering try to photograph/record small and big moments of happy over this time to look back at and remind myself of. Is anyone interested in seeing this or is it cringe?

I wrote an essay about postpartum anxiety, perfectionism, and why I ultimately left the evidence-based Facebook mom groups. (It's not why you think!) Free on @thepom.bsky.social today. www.the-pom.com/p/car-seats-...

Why do I feel like I am bothering people by sending a survey specifically to people who have already signed up and subscribed to my writing?

So I was looking at all the 'recommended' childcare places in our area and being disappointed, but it turns out I should have just started with the one around the corner from us. It's small, lovely, has a vegetable garden and outdoor learning program and has space for my toddler.

At the moment our will says that after death my husband and I want natural burials, at the place where the ashes of our miscarried babies are buried. It is a great idea to include these details when updating your will so they don't get lost!

Help my daughter is emotionally attached to the unaesthetic Easter rabbit someone gave us and now it's a permanent part of my life 🙃

I've found out that Pope Francis died from an internet cat.

Pope Francis, October 2016: “It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help… …If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." RIP.

Anyone else's toddler in the stage of waking up inconsolably sad from their nap and being miserable all afternoon? Mornings are a delight, about an hour before her nap she gets overtired and loopy, and post nap it is just tears and meltdowns until bed time 🙃
