We all have grand plans for the type of Mums we're going to be prior to having children, and then they arrive and often times we are severely humbled... This week we're speaking about our Motherhood expectations vs reality! 

As mums, we want to celebrate our kids and make birthdays and Christmas special! But in a consumeristic society, how do we do this so that our kids know and appreciate the value of things? 

This week we're cramming in two of our life headlines - fussy eaters and pregnancy symptoms!

The QLD State election is coming up in October, so today we are joined by Matt Cliff (Mel's husband) who is the CEO of a political advocacy group and a lecturer in Christian Ethics and Worldview to discuss why being informed ahead of an election is all of our responsibility. This is a different episode for us, but one we feel is so important - especially as Mums, we want to have a say in the world our children grow up in! 

From new houses, to pregnancy to burglary - we can fit a lot in to 35 minutes. Tune in for an extra special announcement! 

This week, Mel is interviewing her Dad on all things Fatherhood. John has 3 daughters who are now all raising their own children. Today he is speaking about intentionality around creating memories, being a "team" as parents, and creating firm foundations inside the home, as well as being wise who enters your kids world. A lot of wisdom and practical tips for the Mums and the Dads!  

Part 1 in our Father's Day series - Caty interviews her dad, Mark on all things Fatherhood. Mark has 4 adult children and is sharing wisdom, specifically around intentionality and the power of a present Dad... in the words of Caty - Fatherhood that makes your kids feel loved and capable.

Variety is the spice of life, and we love hearing and seeing how different Mums in our community raise their kids. We asked you to comment on different topics, some  typically "taboo" and today we're discussing the results and adding some of our own thoughts in a judgement free way! 

We have some NEW life hacks to share with you, a few of our own and a lot from your Millennial Motherhood friends. Hopefully there's something for you that makes your life easier!
