About Mum in Melbourne

Parenthood is one of the biggest adventures we’ll ever take, and nobody really tells you how much winging it is involved.

Mum in Melbourne is a space for the honest, funny, messy and occasionally wonderful reality of raising children.

This is not a ‘what’s on in Melbourne for mums’ if you’re looking for that I can not recommend the amazing Mamma Knows Melbourne more highly: https://mammaknowsmelbourne.com.au/

Mum in Melbourne was founded by a Melbourne based mum, but it’s welcome to parents from all over the world! The site and socials are a collection of musings, ideas, advice, tips and tricks for surviving — and hopefully thriving — through the many stages of parenthood.

Because sometimes you need a practical parenting hack. Sometimes you need an idea to get everyone through the weekend. Sometimes you need to know that other parents are also wondering whether they’re doing any of this right.

We cover the things that matter to parents in real life — from pregnancy and the early years to school, work, family life, relationships, money, health, wellbeing, activities, travel and all the little challenges that somehow become big ones when you have kids.

There’s no perfect parenting formula here. Just honest experiences, useful ideas, things we’ve discovered along the way and conversations worth having.

And we don’t want it to be just one mum’s voice.

Guest posts are always welcome. If you have a parenting story, an experience to share, a brilliant tip, a lesson you learned the hard way or an idea that might help another parent, we’d love to hear from you.

Mum in Melbourne is a place for parents to share, learn, laugh, commiserate and remind each other that none of us has quite got this figured out.

Welcome to the village.
