Travelling with Free Range Kids

I’ve raised my children to be fairly free-range and in Australia that’s okay. I’m part of Australian society so I get to contribute to its social standards, and mine are that children are allowed to express themselves freely, occupy space in public, and be free from ageism/childism. But now we are living in areas where children’s behaviour is much more reserved and my free-range children have arrived completely oblivious to it.

The importance of self-care

I needed to remind myself to make self-care a normal, natural part of my life. Not as a tickbox on a to-do list that will always find its way to the bottom of the list never to be ticked, but for it to be as normal as taking time to mow the lawn or plan the next family holiday.
