  • The Trenches of Sleep Deprivation – A Letter to a Fellow Mum

    by Julie Bhosale

  • My Real Postpartum Body

    by Dr Julie Bhosale
    Final

    I am a mother. I am tired, broken and sore. I have lumps, bumps, marks and jiggly bits.

    I am a mother. I have created, grown, carried and birthed two gorgeous sons.

    I am a mother. I am solely responsible for the lives of two little humans, every single day and night, week in and week out and will be for the rest of my life (and maybe future #number 3 baby).

    I am a health professional. I work in an...

  • Why I am not exclusively breastfeeding - confessions of a nutritionist mum

    by Dr Julie (PhD)

    Prep time: 5 minutes
    Cook time: 20 minutes

It was a very surreal...

  • Super Simple Banana Muffins

    by Julie Bhosale
    We were out of our supply of snacks so this morning I whipped up these super simple banana muffins. When I say this morning it was more like crack of dawn as Arjun was awake at 5.30am this morning - so what better activity on a cold, dark morning than to do some baking together. Well, I mainly did the mixing while Arjun watched with his lions and books but he was still involved :)
