Welcome

Welcome to my website, where my goal is to encourage you to enjoy your children.

As a mother of seven, aged from 8 months up to 14 years, I love being with my children. I always wanted a large family, and now my dream has come true.

Upset about being pregnant?

Happy to be pregnant?

...but worried you don't have the knowledge or skills to care for your baby? Read on and check out all the information on the other pages of my website, revisit as many times as you like - you will be a fantastic mother!

It saddens me that so many people dread the newborn stage—it is too difficult, too tiring, too draining. Personally, I love this stage. It is a time for snuggling with a new little person who is totally dependant on me.

I would like to share with you some of the things I have learned over the years about coping with the difficulties and cherishing the highlights. I want you, too, to not only be besotted by your new baby, but to really enjoy this precious time.

So much of the advice you hear is negative - such as “babies need to be fed whenever they cry”, “babies need to feed up to 12 times in 24 hours”, “they need the nutrition of a night feed for at least six months”, “don’t worry, dear, you will get through this stage, they do grow out of it quickly, you know”. I have been told all these things, and more, and I say “NONSENSE!”

My passion is to give you some guidelines as to what babies really do need, and help you to relax in your mothering role. I am not a doctor, or a midwife, or a childcare worker. (Although I do have a certificate in Early Child Development, and spent 2 years caring for children, including special needs, before my marriage). I am simply a mother, like you. I have been there seven times, and have learned from experience what is true, sound advice, and this is what I want to share with you.

As we live on 23 acres, and home school the children, I have had to come up with ways to be more efficient with my time, and to have my babies fit into our lifestyle.

These are some of the topics you will read about on my website:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Getting your newborn into a good feeding and sleeping pattern
• Sleep!
• Why some babies cry so much
• Starting solids
• Things to do with your baby
• Time saving ideas
• The secret to joy

I would be delighted if you would benefit from my experience!

All I have learned I credit to my God. He is the reason my life has taken the path that it has, and for the training I have received. Please visit the My Faith page of my site.
