Creating new traditions as a single mum

Becoming a single mum is undoubtedly a life-altering experience filled with challenges, but it also presents opportunities for growth, resilience, and the creation of beautiful new traditions.

Ten top tips for moving as a single mum

Moving, in general, is a nightmare. Moving as a single mum is even worse. Especially if it’s your first move since your separation from the other parent of your child, or children.

Overall, I moved four times as a single mum, and I can say that it did get easier. The first time was the worst. It was back in 2013. My daughter’s dad and I had split up and I moved interstate with a five-month-old baby. I packed up our life in Perth, got all my furniture and belongings onto a truck, packed up my car with essentials that I’d need for the first few months (including the bassinet, high chair, pram, baby carrier, breast pump, and all the other baby items), put that car on a train bound for Sydney, and got on a plane with nowhere to live.Continue Reading →
