Things I loved before kids that I still love... hanging out with my friends without the kids around, travel, reading on my own, eating out, enjoying a cocktail without any responsibilities.
This trip is my little circuit breaker each year... I love not looking at the time, not doing 4 kids hair in the morning, not making food for anyone but me, not listening to my kids argue and cry... to name a few.
And you know what, it gets to day 3 and I get over eating out, the silence, not needing to be anywhere and I come home grateful. How long that lasts I can't tell you.. but honestly, this little break is a lifeline.... do not dare ask who has the kids, funnily enough it's their second parent aka my incredible husband who is more than capable as he should be... even with a broken foot this year!

Okay, but seriously… what are we actually meant to DO with our babies all day?!
We hear so much about tummy time, milestones and development, but what about everything in between?

How do we play with our babies? What activities are actually beneficial? And how do we change things up as they grow without spending a fortune?

That's exactly what we're exploring at our next Baby Edit: Beyond Tummy Time!

Join us for a fun, hands-on session where we'll explore simple, age-appropriate ways to play, connect and support your little one's development.

✨ Play ideas you can easily recreate at home
✨ Activities for different ages and stages
✨ Understanding how play supports development
✨ Practical tips to build confidence in playing with your baby
✨ Time to connect with other mums and their little ones

And the best part? You don't need a house full of fancy toys or Pinterest-worthy activities!

Sometimes the simplest things are the most beneficial.

Whether your baby is just starting to explore the world or is already on the move, we'll have activities suited to different ages and stages.

Because playing with your baby doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be connected.

📍 The Parents Hub, Lilydale
🎟️ $39 per family
👶 Babies of mixed ages welcome!

New events incoming!! 👀
We’ve got two very different (but equally lovely) reasons to get out of the house and come hang with us at our Lilydale Studio this October.

THE BABY EDIT: Beyond Tummy Time
For the mums wondering “okay… but what do I actually DO with my baby all day?”
A relaxed morning of practical, age-appropriate play ideas to support your baby’s development — plus connection, chats and time with other mums.

RELAXATION: Rest & Reset
This one is just for YOU. No babies. No one needing anything from you.
Pop on your headphones, get cosy and let Ash from Exhale & Co guide you through 9D breathwork, sound and meditation. Basically… 90 minutes to get out of your head and switch off for a bit.

Both events have limited places and are happening at our beautiful Lilydale Studio.
Book your spot via our events page — we’d LOVE to have you there. 🤍

B**R & BRAIDS 🍺 thanks to Hop Hen Brewing

Yesterday we held our first B**r & Braids event… and honestly, we think this one might need to come back!

A bunch of dads, a few beers, some mannequin heads and a crash course in doing their daughters’ hair...

But what we loved most was how genuinely into it the guys were. They weren’t just there for a laugh (although there were a lot of those)... they were asking questions, having a go, learning new skills and genuinely wanting to get better.

And apparently the practice is already paying off, with dad's doing daughter’s hair since!

When the event wrapped up, a handful of the dads were still standing around in the car park chatting - and THAT is exactly the kind of thing we love to see.

Because yes, B**r & Braids was about learning how to do your daughter’s hair… but it was also about giving dads a space to meet other dads, have a laugh, learn something useful and connect.

A HUGE thank you to Caitlyn for teaching the guys, answering all their questions and making the event so much fun. Another thanks to Jack our treasurer for playing host. And thank you to every dad who came along and got involved.

And a big thanks to Hop Hen Brewing.. our Lilydale neighbours for providing the beers.

Dads of The Hub… what should we do next?

8 years of The Parents Hub!

I thought I’d take a little moment to actually reflect on that, because wow… it’s been a ride.
When we took over the Hub in 2018, I had HUGE dreams for it. I could see so much potential in this beautiful, underutilised building and I just wanted to see it filled with families, connection and community.

Back then, a small number of families were using the space for a few hours each week.
Today, The Parents Hub operates 7 days a week, around 100 families walk through our doors each week… and we now have a second location too.
But for us, it’s about the impact.
And getting here has by no means been easy.
There have been plenty of moments over the past 8 years where I’ve genuinely wondered whether I could keep pushing. Those first four years were probably the hardest. I remember after COVID questioning whether there was even a need for what we were doing anymore.
We’ve pivoted a lot.
We’ve learnt a lot.
We’ve evolved… A LOT.

(Continued in next slide)

What started as playgroups has become what I always hoped it could be — a real community. A place where families can walk in and feel like they belong. Where parents can find their people. Where kids can be themselves. Where someone notices when you’re having a hard day.
And while there have been incredible highs, there have also been some really low lows.
The blows. The disappointments. The absolute devastation this place has caused in my life at times. The moments I’ve wanted to throw my hands up and say, “I’m done.”
Wow, are there some wild stories I could tell. 😂
But every single one of those moments has taught me something. They’ve made me stronger, changed the way I lead and shaped The Parents Hub into what it is today.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
(Continued in next slide)

Running a business and raising kids is no easy feat but what I do know is that when I'm doing it with the support of an incredible team that truly care about our community it's so much better.

I genuinely wouldn’t change any of it — even the parts that felt impossible at the time.
Because I know The Parents Hub has positively impacted people.
