Katie Bowman

'I'm a new school mum, and I need to vent about lunchboxes.'

"I bled through my hospital bed." Exactly what happened to my body after a baby.

‘As a first-time mum, I felt pressured into sleep training. This is why I stopped.’

'A message to the mums who send their kids to childcare for "me time".'

"I could see the disapproving look": I was told my outfit wasn't "appropriate" for a mum.

'I need to talk about the 'third birth' no one prepares you for: The post-baby poo.'

‘As a stay at home mum, I thought having my husband home all day would be great. I was wrong.'

'Forget budget grocery challenges. I need to talk about the hot mess that is my weekly shop.'

"It doesn’t always feel rewarding." The complex reality of the stay at home mum.

OPINION: 'I’m all for teaching my girls to be proud, but you can count me out of period parties.'

"It's not your right." A mum's brutally honest post about the 24 hours after giving birth.

"Nothing is off limits." Just an ode to my very best, judgement-free mum friends.

'Settle in, make friends and move again': The life of a defence wife.

"Thanks, but I don't need your unsolicited opinion on my breastfeeding."

Allow this mum of three to summarise the unique struggle of getting the kids in the damn car.
