Hey MOTS!

Spring is here! And while unfortunately, it doesn't look like we can host any of our big mum catch-up events to mark the season, we're dedicated to bringing you content to make your life easier.

This month we've compiled our top podcast picks, found you the easiest way to get dinner on the table quickly, the family photographer you've been looking for and a clever way to reduce your mental load.
PODCASTS FOR EVERY MUM
Podcasts have become the conversations that you don’t have time to actually have when you’re run off your feet.

You can use them to catch up on the news headlines while you’re hanging the washing, learn something new while you’re pushing a pram around or just to have a laugh while you’re folding the laundry.
We compiled a list of our favourite news, parenting, educational and entertainment podcasts here. Business mums might also like to check out these mum-preneur recommendations.

Got kids who are also into podcasts? We haven't forgotten them either! These recommendations are great to pop on in the car for kids who love to learn.
MORE MUMS ARE CHOOSING
FULL-SERVICE CHILDCARE
There's seldom a mum among us who isn't exhausted most of the time. Besides babies that don't sleep, the mental load is possibly the biggest contributing factor to how tired we all are.

Just the thought of how many things you need to remember before trying to get out the door in the morning is enough to induce a stress ulcer.

Sometimes we've used an awful lot of our brainpower before we've even arrived at work and yet we continue to operate the same way, day-in and day-out. Crazy, right?

There's an easy way to cut down the list of things you need to remember in the morning, which you can read about here, and we know just the people to help you do it.


Guardian Childcare & Education offer more than just convenience. They have 42 Centres across NSW including one located in Caringbah and nine in the Sydney CBD.

HEALTHY MEALS ON THE TABLE IN MINUTES
Recently, some of our children taste-tested a selection of Go! Kidz meals from the new Shire-based company that’s designing quick, healthy dinners for kids – fussy eaters included.

Go! Kidz meals are delivered snap-frozen, locking in the freshness and nutrition of their meals, which are made from all natural ingredients. Better still, they take just minutes to prepare.

Haven't tried them yet? Check out the special offer they're offering to mums of the Shire now. There's never been a better time to try them out.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A DIFFERENCE
Do you remember where you were when you got your first kiss, received heartbreaking news, went into labour or saw someone for the last time?

This idea- that our memories are inextricably linked to the locations where they took place- has been scientifically-proven and it’s known as contextual-binding theory.
One clever local we know has tapped into using contextual-binding theory.

Inspired by her own rush of memories after flicking through old photos at her parents’ place, visual storyteller and photographer Priscilla Barbosa decided to capture family moments in the settings that will forever hold the most meaning for them.
