BIRTHDAY BUSINESS

So I finally did it. I went to Bali with my best friends to celebrate my 40th birthday! OK, so I'm turning 46 soon, but better late than never hey! Sometimes things in life don't go to plan. But that doesn't mean you should give up on your dreams. My dream was to celebrate my 40th in Bali with my besties and sure it took almost six years to make it happen, but it did, and it was incredible. And yes, that's me in all my body-confidence glory rocking an awsome new Infamous Swim bikini! #wheninbali

So, like every year, June/July issue is our Parties and Play issue. And this year it's also our 9th birthday! Little old MamaMag has come a long way in nine years from a little A5 mag in Bayside Melbourne to a national digital publication, but still with a local flavour.

It brings me so much joy creating MamaMag. Exploring new things for families, learning about wonderful new businesses or meeting women doing awesome stuff. They say if you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life and strangely I find I don't even have enough time to work on MamaMag. Between juggling two kids on my own, caring for my mother who is not doing so great, and being a domestic goddess (yeah, nah, my house is a mess) I wish I had more working days in the week to do what I love.

So what ever floats your boat, work, holidays (get to Bali girl), do more of it mama. And pop some champagne because it's always somebody’s birthday!
