I am Milli, Mum to a Toddler (who was a ‘not so easy’ baby) and a new-born trying to live our best lives with a decent amount of travel thrown in.

I want to help normalize when things are hard, when they are not how you expected them to be, that you are doing a good job, and that we can get through this. While my focus may be on the challenging things in life; there is so much of it I love and celebrate. Even though there have been challenges, love has never wavered and we are all stronger because of it.

I also plan on using this as a way to work though the experience of having a premature and colicky baby in the height of Covid, while trying to be honest and gentle with myself at the same time. I hope that all parents learn to be gentle and honest with themselves and others too.

My partner and I have always been travellers and in the first ten years of our relationship spent six of them overseas across five continents and living in Berlin, Germany and Victoria, Canada. We wanted to travel when we could, before we had children but now are realising that we are not willing to compromise on that travel bug. I will explore different ways we are managing to travel with Monkey and our new Little One along with some of plans for the future.
