Welcome to Average Mumma. I started this blog with a simple goal, to share.

While sitting at dinner with two close girlfriends, we swapped stories and discussed our “next big move”, after making some recent bold career changes, we were brain storming ideas. After getting lost in the Pina Coladas! I shared stories about my twins and their recent paint job, on their bedroom walls, with poo! This led to many further stories about how the boys explore, engage with and re-design their world (sometimes with poo), one of my dear friends then said “you need to start a blog with this stuff”, WHY?! confused I couldn’t fathom the idea of people wanting to know about things like poo on the walls, she then said “you have so many great stories to tell, people need to hear this stuff!”, so here we are today, launching a blog site, filled with truth, honesty, hilarity & a little bit of poo.

When I was brainstorming these stories, I couldn’t escape the reality that a huge part of my life and parenting journey, at its core, is grief. I lost my little brother to a genetic heart condition, suddenly, in 2017, a genetic condition we didn’t know existed nor did we know it would determine how we would live our lives moving forward. This blog will include sometimes snippets, sometimes shreds and sometimes significant amounts of this story, tied in tightly with the navigation of parenting twin boys.

I hope you enjoy the stories and moments I will be sharing with you and being a part of this journey called life as it unfolds. ENJOY!
