My Super Groovy Gran – It’s here!!!

This is the third release in the My Family series and turns it’s attention to those care giver’s outside of the Mum and Dad situation. Often it’s grandparents who step in whilst parents are working, sick or even take over raising children already because of bereavement or other reasons. We pay tribute to those amazing grandparents with this little gem and hope you will add it to your collection. Just $15 (plus postage) and available to buy now.

My Two Super Dads

My Two Super Dads has finally arrived! After a small debacle on the boxes going to the wrong address, they finally made their way to the Bronny and Muntsa head quarters – much to the relief of the girls. This is of course hot on the heels of Federal Finance Minister Penny Wong who has announced she is expecting a child with her partner. There has of course been much debate recently about Labor’s stance on gay marriage. For those of you wishing to support you may like to check out Get Up Australia who have an online petition you may like to sign. As any proud soon to be parent would be Wong and partner are extremely excited. “Like any expecting parents, the prospect of welcoming this child into our lives fills us both with joy,” she said. We can’t wait to send them My Two Super Mums (coming next year) until then it might just have to be a copy of My Two Super Dads a great story of gay parenting. You can order your copy of My Two Super Dads on our site here.

My Super Single Mum Book Launch Sydney

Before we held our gorgeous book launch in Melbourne we had a smaller soiree at the Hughenden Hotel in Sydney which was divine! A bunch of yummy single and not so single mummy’s attended with their bubba’s as well as the Scribo Group and much fun was had by all!

My Super Single Mum creates a stir!

Thanks for the fabulous Milkk PR we have been getting amazing publicity for My Super Single Mum including this article in the Herald Sun, a Melbourne (Australia) newspaper. According to the family expert (when asked about the book) children don’t need to learn about minorities such as these! I think every single mother was insulted universally with that comment. You might like to read the full article here. We for one, think that children of all ages should be exposed to our books, if only to stop ignorant comments such as that one! Read the article here.

My Super Single Mum Book Launch

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me the past two weeks! Interviews with Kerri-Anne Kennelly on Channel 9, Sunrise on Channel 7, reviews in the Herald Sun, interviews with press, bloggers and the media! It’s all been very exciting, but probably the most exciting has been launching the books in Sydney and then today in Melbourne. I conducted a reading of the book to the children in attendance and all guests received a copy of the book as well as a goodie bag with fabulous items inside including gorgeous products from Aromababy. All this in the divine surrounds of the Apples & Jam Play Centre in South Melbourne on the corner of Montague and Bank Streets. Guests enjoyed jam & scones while sharing parenting stories. Super single mums mingled and I signed books for everyone there. Check out a reading of the book as well as photos from the day. Thank you so much to everyone who came along and I can’t wait to bring you instalment number 2 with My Two Dads. Look out for me in Take That magazine coming up as well as more reviews to follow!

My Super Single Mum in the Media

We were lucky to get some fantastic publicity on the weekend in the Sunday Herald Sun through our fabulous agency Milk Kiddle Langmaid check out the fabulous story here!

We also had a fabulous review in the same edition and scored a 3.5 stars out of 5 which we were over the moon about for our very first launch.

So make sure you grab your very own copy for Mothers Day.

My Super Single Mum on SUNRISE, Channel 7

This morning I was so lucky to be invited to chat with Mel and Koshi and Psychologist Jo Lamble on the popular Channel 7 breakfast program Sunrise.

I’ve been a fan of Mel and Koshi for years so it was a real privilege to be invited onto the program to discuss my Divorce Party which I held to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in my life back in 2005. Although Divorce parties have been around for a long time, when I had mine – it wasn’t really something that many were doing. The ensuing madness that followed was a party to be remembered.

More to the point, after my Divorce my life changed so dramatically, leading me on the path of children’s book author and the My Family Children’s Book series. The best part of today was the massive plug given to My Super Single Mum at the end of the interview.

Single Mum Research

I like to keep abreast of research that is relevant to the books I write. As such, it was with great interest that I came across the following research being conducted about Single Mums and their mental health. If you’re a single mum, I’d love to encourage you to have your two cents. It would be great to see some research that shows single mums as capable, able and their children as healthy and well adjusted! Lend your opinion and see the data change – I certainly have.
