Today we have a guest post from Cath. A Shire local all her life who now called Como home with her husband and two daughters, aged three and one.

Follow the ups and downs of parenting as our mum takes up the challenge to find the best things to see and do in the Sutherland Shire with children.

The park has a set of swings, a slide, see saw, bridge and small flying fox. As well as a little shop play area underneath. It was a good size for our girls aged 1 and 3.

Dylan is our confident, happy go lucky, free spirited daughter. Our son Dax is our cruiser, cool, calm and collected one. Dax has Congenital Cytomegalovirus cCMV.

All children are responsible for teaching their parents how they should sleep. Pre-children, your parents would have developed certain sleep habits (such as sleeping six to eight hours straight) and certain sleep associations (such as sleeping in an adult bed, either alone or with a maximum of one other person at a time). It is your job to re-train them to sleep in a manner more suitable to their most important role: being your parents.

Mid conversation she pointed out that Darcy (my 18month old who was on my hip) had a snotty nose and she laughed loudly.

We’ve been chatting with Deborah Gibson, a beautiful local mum of two very active…

What’s better than escaping the house and getting out in nature with your kiddies? Playing outdoors and in nature is more than just fun for our kids..
