25.01.2022 Today has been a very difficult day for so many people, for so many different reasons... People are terrified of the threat to their health or the health of a loved one. People are worried about family and friends that live far away. Hearts are broken over lost businesses and jobs, having to reschedule weddings, pick and choose guests at funerals, delayed and cancelled IVF cycles, birthing babies without family close by, cancelled holidays and a myriad of reasons inbetween...... There is very real anxiety about the future and so many people struggling to understand- What will it look like? How will we rebuild? Community is everything right now, and at Mums for Mums, thats what we do best... Just remember team - We are ALL in this together! #isolation #communitycare #lookoutforyourneighbor #mumsformums #supportingeachother #thinklocal #strongcommunity #timeslikethese #wearehereforyou #thiswillpass

25.01.2022 Hi Mums! I just wanted to share this with the mums and mums-to-be that may be struggling - Gidget Virtual Village. Run by the Gidget Foundation, it is private facebook group that is proving to be incredibly supportive, kind and a great resource for anyone feeling like they need a friend. Also - Remember that you can email or message us here at Mums For Mums too, we are ALWAYS here for all our local mums and their families! xx https://www.facebook.com/groups/gidgetvirtualvillage

24.01.2022 Getting in early to wish all the beautiful mums, step mums, new mums, Mums to be, grandmothers and everyone in our community a very happy Mothers Day tomorrow! Among all the funny memes about motherhood, there is an incredibly deep and wonderful side to being someones mum, and tomorrow is our day to relish in this. We also want to shine a light on the mothers in our community who are without their children, or their own mother this year. We see you, we hold you and we want to wish you a peaceful and gentle day tomorrow Sending love, Mums for Mums. xx #mothersday2020

24.01.2022 Last night I logged into this online Zoom session. I had so many things on my to-do list last night. I was late to log on because - Children and bedtime . I was still eating my dinner. I was drinking wine.... I was in my Pyjamas. My husband had the TV on in the background. AND - I LOVED it!! I highly recommend you jumping on next Wednesday night! The women who run these sessions are so lovely and compassionate. The other women who participate where engaged and interested, and it includes discussion and ideas for children from babies up to teenagers! I finished the session feeling better equipped, with more ideas and motivation to help my children and myself navigate the current climate. Thank you Be Centre Foundation! I am looking forward to next Wednesday night already, but right now, I am off to make puppets!

21.01.2022 Powerful statement! For every mother of a new baby - their first, second or fifth, it is easy to become overwhelmed, anxious and feel unseen. We might not be able to physically hold the baby, or the mum right now... but we see you, we hear you and we love you. #mumssupportingmums #mumsformums #community #newmums #newbabies #localmums #weareallinthistogether

21.01.2022 Good Morning Mums! If you are interested, this looks like a lovely, uplifting 40 minutes you can spend this morning. Simply follow the Gidget Foundation Facebook page, and pop the kettle on! It will be live a 11 am. x

20.01.2022 For mums with younger children and wanting to explain what is happening in the world, tune in tomorrow or watch on ABC iView. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=167242001048935

17.01.2022 Hang in there Mummas!! #arewethereyet

16.01.2022 This evening we have listed a new business in our "community business directory". It is not strictly local, but is in line with everything Mums For Mums represents. Get behind them if you can, and lets show our frontline workers just how much we appreciate them!! FRONTLINE FLOWERS: Delivering posies of joy to the people putting their health on the line for the rest of us.... "You can nominate a specific frontline worker, or you can sponsor a posy to be delivered to someone on our nomination list. We then co-ordinate with our local growers and wholesalers who donate or sell their unsold blooms to the program at a reduced cost; we then process and wrap the donated flowers and deliver them to the Frontline Flowers recipient. A posy costs $25, which covers the safe delivery of the posies to their recipients and helps supplement the cost of the flowers. All other labour and product costs are donated by participating suppliers and vendors."

16.01.2022 Oh my goodness!! This is honestly the sweetest thing... We LOVE the bum wiggle happy dance when they get their milk! Triplets, anyone?!

16.01.2022 LETS KEEP OUR COMMUNITY GOING!! Mums For Mums have put together a business directory for our local community, listing the businesses that are still open and how you can order / pay / collect or have delivered. The directory is in no particular order (it started off in alphabetical order but its been a few long nights pulling it together between home schooling / working and wine drinking!), and it is always evolving... please email us, or send us a PM if you want to b...e included in the directory. Newport, Bilgola, Avalon, Whaley and Palmy - lets keep it local when we can and watch this community thrive. Covid-19, you are not welcome here!! https://www.mumsformums.org.au/covid-19/

Along with the local Mitre 10 stores who gave us the candles, and the very special men, women and children who played the Last Post so beautifully.
