Another 'new mum' blog?...

I hear you.

What's different about this mummy blog as opposed to every other bazillionth blog about being a parent out there?

Well, to be honest...I don't know.

All I do know is I promise to make this not just about being a mum (although it's probably going to be a big part as I am new at this) but it will be more than just that.

I've been wanting to create my own blog for a long time, about two years to be precise. Where to start, what to blog about, who cares blah blah blah. Will it be creative, funny, interesting, intriguing or just plain lame? Well, that's for you to judge, and by all means - please judge (just be kind).

Word to Your Mama - why the name?

Well you see, I'm in the Community Services field of work and have a strong interest in creating new programs, ideas and information for the greater good. BORING! Again, I hear you.
But 'Word to Your Mama' is for all those new mums and dads, old mums and dads, husbands, wives, partners, sisters, brothers, mother-in-laws, grandparents, friends and well...everyone who cares to read this about the realistic view of being a new parent and more. Word.

Hey, it might even contain some good food recipes for those who aren't anywhere near parenthood! So don't be too scared off just yet...I'm obsessed with fatty foods! Sorry, no Paleo diet here.

Over the course of a good year now since becoming pregnant I have been given ALL of the advice and opinions under the sun from every super experienced parent or 'childless parent' as I like to call them. It's comedic, cringeworthy, depressing, informative and somewhat scary!

I am not an expert, far from it! I'm very much an amateur mum fumbling through parenthood like the rest of us. What works for me, may not work for you. What I believe, is probably not what you believe. But if anything, this is real and that's all it is.

I've also had ample time off to browse the internet, visit the shops, watch insane amounts of reality TV and peruse Facebook and Instagram like it's going out of fashion. So, not an expert - but up to date I guess you could say.

It won't be flooded with images of my child/ren or husband as this is my voice, not theirs. Although they are the biggest part of who I am.

Whatever this blog turns out to be, I hope it relates to some of you in some small way.

I promise to keep it interesting if anything.

Oh and just a little disclaimer - I am terrible at grammar...you can judge everything else, but please don't judge that ;-)

Here goes...
