About

Every once in a while I have a personal epiphany.

In April 2010 I registered a blog with WordPress, and in October 2010 I finally summoned up enough courage to actually post something on that blog.

I felt a pull toward a different approach to family life.

In 2008, after the birth of my second (and last) child, as a family, we suffered a devastating and game-changing loss. That combined with a new-birth, shook my world and turned on its head and what I felt was important. Life was never the same again.

Apprehensive and shy, the blog began as a way of documenting my recipes, for my use, and to share with others.

Quickly it became so much more. This blog is my virtual home. It’s a safe place (with relative anonymity) where I am allowed to explore a simpler way of living and to hang out with like-minded people.

What can you expect to find here?

Well, there is a lot of talk about food and occasionally ideas and tips on reducing food waste.  But it’s also a blog about a journey toward a simpler family life, which includes conscious spending, mindfulness and a good old dose of decluttering with a hint of minimalism.

Welcome to SimplyBeingMum – one mother’s personal website documenting the journey toward a family life simply done.Here you will find a collection of recipes, ideas, musings and philosophies related to families who feel a pull toward a more conscious, mindful and simpler way of life.

You don’t have to homeschool or bake your own bread daily to hang out here. At whatever stage of your journey, you are on, you are very welcome. I personally still have a long way left down my own path and find that by blogging about it, it helps to keep me on track.

Please stay a while, have a meander around, see what takes your interest, and do join in the discussion.
