Osso Bucco winter warmer cook up.

This meal is perfect to prepare, pop in the oven and eat later. It's amazing for all.

Postpartum mummas, families and those who are not well. The nourishing broth that it is cooked in along with the marrow bone goodness that oozes into the sauce when cooking makes for a melt in your mouth meal.
The meat will be falling off the bones after it has cooked in the over for a few hours.

So perfect to put on mid morning and let cook during the day read for an early dinner for all.

Custard Porridge

This is a go-to recipe in our household during the cooler months or when we feel like nourishing our bodies.

Custard porrage is amazing for everyone. It's fantastic for new mums to have at anytime throughout the day... why?

Oats are considered a beneficial food for breastfeeding mothers due to their nutrient content and potential to aid in milk production. They are rich in iron, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals, and some research suggests they may help stimulate milk production. 

So enjoy this yummy recipe and nourishing your body.

Our cow order from my 6 week subscription to Our Cow.

I have been ordering from our cow for a few years now.
We love their produce and values around supporting farmers and providing produce from paddock to plate.

If you didn't know, I studied teaching in Armidale, and a majority of my friends were from rural farming families. I learnt a lot about the processes of farming through my mates up there, and it is something that I am passionate about supporting in any way I can.
supports a number of Aussie farms by purchasing directly from them and supplying families with quality free range grass fed meat - beef, pork, chicken and sustainable seafood.

I have a referral code for you to use and gain $50 off your 1st order. I also get $50 to spend on my next order 😊
Code - 2104LPZ9

I hope you enjoy ordering some quality meat from

Morning snuggles and touch.
Kids often climb all over you and want to touch you as a parent.
It reminds you of how small they really are.
How much they need you.
How much they admire you and just what to be close to you.

This is the perfect time to have a chat about their day, enjoy a snuggle and be their safe space to tell you all.

Don't rush these tiems as they will soon become fleeting.
Soak them in.
Take an extra 10 minutes in your morning or evening routine for this.
It is golden.

Hi 👋
Welcome to my new followers.

I just thought I should pop on with my everyday mum vibe today!
I am a little tired after a full day of mummying, I have my hand on my head as the girls watch some TV and I cover up a little hair dye as I had my hair done today. It will wash off but I havebg had a shower yet and while I had a moment I wanted to pop on.

So for those of you who don't know me. Welcome.

I am a mumma to 2 little girls they are the light of our lives. My husband Brent is a ships captain so I do solo parenting from time to time. (Single nummas I take my hat off to you.... it's a full on gig).

I am a postpartum doula and cook. I completed the Newborn Mothers course in 2022 when my eldest daughter was 6 months old. I was so passionate to learn as much as I could about the postpartum period. My Love of food and cooking is a part of all of my Offerings for you in your postpartum. I cook for new mummas and family meals focusing on Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine cooking. This enables the body to heal and be nourished. I currently service the Sutherland Shire and St George areas in Sydney, NSW Australia.

I have grown up in the Sutherland Shire and went away to university in Armidale. So I have friends who live all over the country. I am passionate about women being cared for in their postpartum period and am looking forward to my cookbook series starting to come out soon. This will enable Mummas all across the country to prepare for their postpartum.... my first book will be "One Handed Snacks and Meals for hungry Mummas & family"
(We all know our snacks get stolen by the fam).

I have also started The Wild Hive Circles with my friend Courtney. We will be offering a range of circle to connect with our village of like minded mums. Our first circle is a Mother's and Babies circle - a new age mothers group. It is open to all Mummas and their babies under 1.

Please have a look at my offerings on my website and keep in touch with any questions and don't forget to sign up to my newsletter.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with inquiries.

Love
Simone

So where did The Postpartum Hive come form?
Well we have our own bee Hives and after learning about how amazing bees are and the roll of the Queen Beee in a colony and how her village of bees support her needs it was so fitting for my business.

So here are some fun facts about 🐝 and 🍯

Did you know that one tablespoon of honey is enough to keep a person alive for 24 hours?
Didier you know that 1tsp of honey provides you with a boost of energy to progress through labour when you don't feel like eating?
Did you know that one of the world's first coins featured the symbol of a bee?
Did you know that honey contains live enzymes?
The best way to eat honey is with a wooden spoon; if you can't find one, use a plastic spoon.
Did you know that honey contains a substance that helps the brain function better?
Did you know that honey is one of the few foods on earth that can sustain human life on its own?
Did you know that bees have saved people from starvation in Africa?
Did you know that propolis produced by bees is one of the strongest natural antibiotics?
Did you know that honey does not have an expiration date?
Did you know that the bodies of some of the greatest emperors were buried in gold coffins and then covered with honey to prevent decay?
Did you know that the term "honeymoon" comes from the tradition of newlyweds consuming honey for fertility after marriage?
Did you know that a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee, it is a lifetime of work?

Thank you, precious bees..!

Take care of yourself
**prioritise YOUR health**

Today, I went and finally booked in for a Pap smear and had it done. I will be honest I have booked in 3 times since having Lilliana. And twice in between Genevieve and Lilliana, in which sickness with myself or the kids, miscarrage &monthly bleeds have not allowed the procedure to be done. Well, today was the day, and man do I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders with ticking that off my list.

I had a big shock a few years ago when a good friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. She is the same age as me 38 and has 3 little kids. She has been very fortunate with her response to treatment so far, although it is something that will probably shorten her life. I asked her when I visited her after her 2nd lot of surgery on her bowel and liver. Did you have any symptoms? She said, "Yep, I just thought they were postpartum symptoms after having her 3rd baby." She now takes her health very seriously and is an amazing testimony to herself, friends and family for how strong she has been through this battle, how she has worked through her treatments (with some crappy reactions) and how she prioritise her health for her family so she can be around to watch her kids grow up.
I just can't get over her strength and determination to say F**k cancer.

Another friend of mine during her postpartum shared how she was feeling from time to time. I will never get over the shock of how I felt when she told me " sometimes Simone I just feel like life would be easier if I walked out in front of the traffic that comes past the house". Her bub was about to turn 1. I hadn't dealt with a vulnerable mental health conversation before. I remember my face said 1000 words, but I held her hand and said, "Hun, that's not normal, I can't help you with that feeling, but you need to talk to someone." Thank goodness she did and still does.

Pease mummas, you need to do health checks regularly. Early detection is key.
So you're able to feel well.
So you can keep up with your little ones.
So you are prioritising YOU.
Your physical health matters.
Your mental health matters.
So you can be YOU - THE BEST MUM.

**TODAYS REMINDER ** Look after YOURSELF.
Know that these affirmations are there to remind you of who you are, love may look different for all whether it be self love or the love of another to be loved.
You are worthy of good thibgs and bringing joy into your life.... so go and seek some joy today from a smile from a stranger, looking at the flowers, sitting in the sunshine, know you are worthy of life's simple pleasures.
Your heart is in the right place, you have to make decisions each and every day so make these from the heart. Take time to think about what your heart desires today and take small steps forward towards this goal. Everyone's heart is in different places throughout the different seasons of nature and life, so give yourself grace and do what your heart needs.
You are strong. Whatever your going through today know that your not alone, your strong and if you need to gather support from others, you have got this and strength comes in many forms.
You amaze yourself each day .... just getting through the day at times can seem a blessing especially for new parents and those going t hough challenging times. Find something today that you have done and enjoy it, reflect on it and be amazed by it. It may be as simple as - I enjoyed a hot cuppa today, this is amazing when we lead a "busy" life so slowing down and enjoying that moment, mindfully drinking your cuppa and savouring the taste, smell and how it makes you feel is amazing.

Enjoy today.
We live in a beautiful part of the world.
Take time to notice the small things
Take time to spend with your family. ✨️ 😌
