24.01.2022 Monday Wellbeing I never understood when people said that while I was pregnaunt to sleep as much as I could because when bub comes then sleep is a mere memory. They were right because I feel like I'm forever trying to catch up on sleep and never being a good sleeper doesn't help. Can't sleep doing the day and struggle at night to get to sleep. But what does this sleep deprivation do to us and our brains?...Continue reading

21.01.2022 With the recent government news you can go for your hour outside excercise getting the vitamin D, fresh air (through a mask) and say Hi to other people and virtual kangatrain inside. Win Win Want to know more?

13.01.2022 I can't remember if I have posted this before but just because we are isolating doesn't mean you can't reach out to check on people to just ask how they are doing. Send an emoji 'thinking of you'. The smallest gesture could have the biggest impact. So how are you today? Omg so good. Loving spending time surrounded by family and we are all happy and healthy. Great. I'm finding new things to do and new skills. ... Doing OK. Days are feeling the same each day but I'm finding the positive in each day and doing something new each day to break up the groundhog feeling. I could do with a rest but I know I have a responsibility to keep going. Not bad but not great. Feeling alone. Could do with someone reaching out to say hi. Each day is getting harder. I need a hug.

11.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY From us to all the kangadads, kangagrandads, father figures, mums doing both roles and those who are missed, we hope you had an amazing day and know you are important in your joey's lives.

09.01.2022 Kangatraining community, if you do not already hold a first aid certificate and cpr qualification then this is a perfect time to get one or refresh your knowledge. Babies, toddler, children are unpredictable and I pray you never have to use your skills but in case you do it is always excellent to be prepared. Wiggle your way over...(see what I did there )... https://go.nextdoor.com/heartoftheneighbourhood See more

08.01.2022 As you are exercising in your local areas remember we are in this together and a simple 'Hi' or 'cute dog' might make someone's day better who is feeling alone and isolated during these time.

08.01.2022 I'm missing kangatraining a lot and seeing all your bubs. Most of all I am feeling the need to get back into exercise to be ready when restrictions ease. So at the start of September, I have started getting back into exercise in some form each day (yoga, stretching, dance, walking, online exercise, virtual kanga ect) and to encourage me further next month, I will be walking for Mental Health. During this time the suicide rate has gone up and a higher rate of mental health ca...ses recorded which is heart breaking and want to help. What challenges for your health and self care have you set yourself or will?

07.01.2022 I was hoping this news would be at the start of October, but start of November is great too. YEAH! Numbers for outdoor training is rising so what does that mean? I can now take your interest for:... Kangatraining (zoom) exercise in your own loungeroom. Keep an eye on this page or Selandra Community Centre for free sessions coming online and in centre when they reopen. Kangatrail - out on tracks with your carriers taking in the beautiful surrounds. Kanga on Wheels - grab your prams and walk/talk your way to a happy mumma/daddy/grandparent/aunty/uncle Kanga mix-mix all the above. Contact me if interested or would like to know more. You still need to be 6 week post vaginal birth and 12 weeks C-section.

06.01.2022 Welcome to Spring, My favourite season because it means no more winter and my roses will start to come out again and my garden will hopefully recover. Most of all more outdoor time in the sun!... A beautiful way to start the day this morning with a virtual kangatraining session then taking all our tunnels, climbing frame, Chalk, sunlounge and anything else fun outside in the beautiful sun to play with the puppy dogs and mud At the start of last month I said I would have an exciting announcement for September, hmm well it needs to be postponed until restrictions are lifted though there are still plenty of sessions of virtual training available. Keep an eye on the page for further updates and Happy first day of Spring. Get out for your walk and enjoy the beautiful sun

05.01.2022 Fun fact Friday Being a kid is fun! We loose the act of having fun as we grow older and the stresses of the world start to burden us but there is no written rule that you can't still have fun. Kids are a reminder of this.... We have all heard the saying 'oh he's a big kid, he's never going to grow up, he loves having kids because he can play with toys again' (yes I've stereotyped the guys but hear it more about them) Feed your kids curiosity and imaginations by showing them it's OK to be silly, dress up, make a rocket out of boxes, pretend to be a dinosaur:animal because it's not only great for their development but your wellbeing too. Don't forget to sparkle

05.01.2022 Friday Fact There has been a lot of confusion from new mums about if they can have their partners with them after the birth of their child. Initially it was believed it was a no they can't be then it was rumoured to be a time limit but the latest report is your partner can stay as long as necessary (according to hospital policy). I have lived the fear of not having your partner with you after birth and I didn't give birth during covid but my partner was told to go home af...ter I gave birth. A arrived at 11:50pm and after a quick shower and walked myself downstairs (yes walked myself downstairs while the midwife pushed A, I wasn't even allowed to lean on the trolley for support), I was placed in a room with three other women with crying babies and my partner told to leave because it was out of visiting times. So there I was, just given birth, new baby next to me and they turn the lights out and I had no idea what I was meant to do apart from watch this tiny baby next to me and wiggle/make my way out of bed as the painkillers wore off every time she made a noise. I didn't even know if I could leave her to go to the toilet until I couldn't stand it any longer and ran the best I could to the bathroom fretting someone would steal my baby or she would need me so a very very quick painful pee. A just slept that night so noone checked us because unlike the screaming babies around us we were not making a noise. It was a terrible experience and I would have felt a lot better having my partner there or at least a nurse to inform me what I was meant to do with this new bundle of joy. I waited till visiting hours of 8am till they would let my partner back in. I feel for all the mums to be and good luck all the new mums and mums again during this time. I hope your experience is better than mine.

04.01.2022 Wow Wednesday I've tried to write and post this three times today but today has not been a very 'I'm having a successful mum day'. It took all my calming techniques and training, along with inner drive to not be a crazy yelling abusive mum today but A not even close to 2 has pulled no stops today in tantrums and exhausting me all before lunchtime. Lots of screaming and tantrums over I really don't know. Could have been any of the following:... -wanting food but not the food I gave her or she chose out of the cupboard. -told not to eat playdo and stand on the playdo table. -don't hit the dogs with a broom. -wanted to wear gumboots instead of runners but then wouldn't keep gumboots on. -wanted yogert but not mum's help then couldn't get yogert out. -mum put on runners instead of high heel boots to go walking outside and A was holding the boots BUT the big test today was after our morning walk around the block, A decided to go over to a dragon figurine that has always been at the front door, never worried about it until now and push it to the ground smashing it. Oh yes I needed to walk away from her and breath then return and sit down with her to explain to her how much the dragon statue meant to me and her smashing it made me very sad. Parents think that babies, infants, toddlers don't understand what we say, but they in fact do understand. They can read your facial expressions, tone of voice and body language so everything you do and say has an impact. How you react to situations has a bigger effect. If you think of your childhood and your memories of it, you will remember the people and how they acted/reacted in those memories. You may even find yourself parenting the same way or fighting against parenting that way. Which ever way you choose (or subconsciously without you knowing choose), make the memories memorable. Tomorrow is a new day and from this mumma I hope it's better.

04.01.2022 Monday Wellbeing As some of you are starting home schooling 2.0, you may feel a range of emotions from relieved you don't need to do the morning school rush, more prepared this time or still anxious how you will make it work and pray for sleep time. It's OK to feel these emotions and it's OK for the kids to feel lost and unsure what is around the corner, noone knows! Resure them, talk through your day at bedtime ensuring they know you are there for them and pick onl...y the positives of the days (no matter how repetitive, stressful or boring your days may feel) to focus on. Every day is a new day with new possibilities and new learning to be had. You might be a new mum or a mum again waiting for your bub to arrive and worried what that brings in the current circumstances. Ask all the questions of the medical staff to ease your mind. They are there to help you and hopefully make you feel confident that you and your bundle of joy will be fine. You are amazing mumma, you got this! Take this time to reflect on what you have enjoyed during these times and what things you did previously that really don't matter now. What will you take with you into the future?

03.01.2022 Afternoon wonderfuls I thought I'd share something interesting that happened this morning. After an uneasy night of A not able to sleep well, I was feeling a bit zombiefied this morning so normal I would play some nice jazz or upbeat morning music to start my day but I just couldn't think what I wanted to listen to so I asked Google to play 'music'. The music started and my body started side taps, knee lifts, box steps as I started our morning routine. I stopped and realise...d the music playing was my kanga play list. Google obviously knew I'm missing kangatraining and even though there is virtual training, I am really looking forward to when we can have face to face again. I miss seeing all the mums, bubs, dads, grandparents, nieces and hope this will be over soon. Hold strong, we are in this together. #strongcommunity #support

03.01.2022 Happy New Years Eve Firstly, sorry for being so quiet but 'it that shall not be mentioned' has really done a number on me physically, emotionally and mentally as I'm sure others feel the same way, leading to me loosing my 'sparkle' and the will to shake my groove thing. Looking to the future and crossing everything to hope the new year brings better things I'm asking for wonderful mums past and soon to be present to help me out.... I have started walking with A in the carrier around the bush track of Cranbourne Botanical to ignite the spark once again but was wondering if anyone would like to join me with prams, carriers, alone or with kids? It's free, just mums catching up and having a chat while enjoying the outdoors. I walk the outside which is neatly 7km in just under 2 hours (including a stop to play at the playground). Tracks are sandy, pebbles and dirt which my Baby Jogger makes easy work of. I originally was researching these tracks along with ones around Berwick Botanical for Kangatrail/Kanga on Wheels but with the lack of numbers I couldn't run the sessions, so continued to walk the tracks anyway. If you would like to keep me company and need someone to motivate you while chatting to other mums then contact me for KangaSocial (I made up the name). This is not a regular training session (well walking is) but if there is enough interests your wish of Kangatraining, Kangatrail and Kangamix can become a reality. If you would like to walk Berwick Botanical on another day then we can add that too. It's a new year tomorrow, how will you be putting your foot forward to make a difference for yourself or others?

01.01.2022 Pritty much me in isolation/lockdown. Every song has some choreography with it. Stay strong we are nearly at kangatime again.
