And so it begins....

I'm Kira! And if there is one thing in this world that grates my last nerve it's mothers! Mothers judging other mothers! Because this leads to Mothers questioning! Questioning themselves, Questioning their partners, and even Questioning their children!

"Should I be doing that with her?"

"Am I doing the right thing by him?"

"Shouldn't She be doing this more?"

"What can't I just get this RIGHT?"

"Why am I such A BAD MOTHER?"

I know I've felt like that! Over and Over again and for a really long time!

Did you know that we, as the new generation of parents spend more time with their children on average than any other generation of parents in History?? A little weird considering we work and therefore have less time to spend with them. And yet we (on average) Feel guilty! Guilt that we're not taking them to enough after school activities, Guilt we don't read to them enough, Guilt that they missed swimming lessons 2 weeks in a row! Am I the only one who's sick to death of it all?

For a while now I've wanted to write a book. A book for mothers who are so overcome by the pressures that others put on them they could explode. For the mums out there who convince themselves that they arn't doing right by their children because they don't vacuum twice a day.

And I want to call it; "Chill out your fine!"

Because Kids are resilient. They are capable and resourceful! And they don't care what the house looks like, or what you drag them to ever after noon! And if you love them, (Which I know you do ;-) ) They will turn out beautiful, unscathed human beings.

So Welcome to Chill out! Your Fine! I'll be writing about everything from baby food to choosing schools, and hopefully answering any questions that you may have for me along the way.

I look forward to working with you :-)
