The Motherish

Mamamia Family is Mamamia Women’s Network’s parenting site. It is a site for women who are thinking about having a baby and women who are mothers.

We bring you all the stories that mothers are talking about at mother’s group, at the school gate, at ante-natal classes, at work and on social media. We know all too well how all-consuming children can be, and how much it means to be able to take a break from being a mother. We know how much mother’s value those few moments of time out. Becoming a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences i

n our lives and for the most part we wouldn’t change it for the world. But being a mother is not all of who we are, either. We are still women, we still have interests and ideas. We still love taking a sneak peek into the lives of people we’re interested in and getting an insight into the lives of women who are a bit like us.
