Being a sports mum means sacrificing your own time, energy, and sanity for the love of the game.... Can you relate?
The pressures of being a sports mum are no joke. But the joys are well worth it!
09/05/2024

A few days ago while at the pool I watched a young Mama and her little daughter enter the pool area dressed in very nice coordinating swimming suits.
The mom, with her perfect loose curls tied up in a coordinating scarf, spent the first few minutes talking loudly on her phone to a friend while her daughter stood waiting to get into the pool.
Mom ended the phone call and proceeded to spread out pool toys and sunscreen on a matching towel. Then after finding just the right angle and the right light, Mama pulled out her tripod and took a few selfies with her daughter.
Little One asked to get in the pool. Mama said wait and then posed her daughter in front the pool, then going in to the pool and then coming back out of the pool. Little one smiled big and said "cheese" like she'd done it a million times. Then Mama told her she could play.
Little One walked in and swam around for a couple of minutes. Mama called a friend on her phone and began another conversation while Little One politely and repeatedly asked "Mama, can you come in the water with me, please?" She was ignored.
"Mama, come play with me?" she asked 4 more times. Mama glanced over at her but never got off the phone. After 10 minutes Mama ended her call, collected the sunscreen that was never applied, the water toys that never touched the water, and then her daughter and left the pool.
I sat there thinking about what I'd witnessed for awhile afterwards. I imagined the photos she took being perfectly edited and posted to social media with a caption like "Pool time with my girly! ".
Somewhere another Mama is going to be at home with her children, the house a mess from their play, her hair unruly from a day of mothering and her clothes dirty with spit up or peanut butter. She's going to be tired because she's spent her day cooking, caring, cleaning and playing with her children.
She's going to look at that photo and she is going to compare herself to the perfect Mama at the pool. The Adversary is going to whisper into her ear "you aren't good enough... You don't look like that Mama at the pool... You don't have money to buy expensive swimming suits like that and you don't have time to make memories like she is" and that young Mama is going to believe it.
She's going to feel like a failure. She'll never know that how she spent her time that day was so much better in her children's eyes than that "perfect Mama" at the pool.
What we see on Social Media isn't always real. Sometimes and often it's a complete set-up. It's staged and filtered and it's counterfeit.
Sometimes we do see absolutely real photos of vacations and beautiful homes and freshly done hair but it's only ONE moment. It's the very best moment out of a whole day spent much like our own. Working, cleaning, and messes...
Mamas, don't compare yourself. You ARE enough! You are amazing and the very best part is that you are REAL! Your dirty shirt and your messy house and your happy children are real and they are proof that you are doing it right! ❤

Did you catch our Carry Play giveaway from Kingdom Playroom last week? This play table is a real game-changer when it comes to entertaining the kids. We’ve only had ours for just over a month and it’s been used for playdough, Lego, sensory play, sand, pretend worlds and so much more. While we haven’t been going anywhere lately (thanks lockdown), this play table will be coming on plenty of adventures with us in time. It folds up into a carry case and can be loaded up with games for the kids! From friend’s houses for barbecues to park plays and even the beach, I just love that this table can come anywhere with you to keep the kids busy (no easy feat). Discover even more about this incredible play table and exactly what it comes with and how it can be used. It’s the perfect gift idea for a little one in your life! https://babyvine.com.au/portable-activity-table/
Unicorn Cake
With all this time stuck in lockdown, we decided to have a bit of silly fun… so we threw a mini birthday party for the kids’ cuddlys! Of course, with every party, you need a cake, so we got to work straight away. This Wiltshire Unicorn Mould was SO fun to use. And so easy as well. You can check it out in our video, and just scroll across for the end result. Let’s face it, I’m no pro baker, but with some Dollar Sweets and icing to decorate, I think the kids and I did a pretty good job. Their cuddlies thought so too! Even better, clean up is easy. The mould can go in the fridge (to cool down), freezer, microwave and oven… and the dishwasher! Bonus. Plus, the kids had plenty of fun singing happy birthday to their best cuddly friends. It was a day well spent having a little fun in all the craziness right now… and we will be hanging on to this mould to get us through a couple of September birthdays coming up for the girls...

Welcome!
The Baby Vine is a judgement free parenting community with a focus on educational, helpful articles.
Parenting is hard. Especially in the digital age, where there is so much pressure and judgement.
You need to find your happy – and we want to help you get there.
We even have a Facebook Group to build on this amazing community feeling. Join us!
As a first-time mum I felt guilty over everything:
I left Cassie in her room crying and closed the door. I sat down and cried.
It was all too much. There was so much pressure to juggle everything. I was spreading myself too thin and missing out.
Cassie wasn’t getting the best version of me. I didn’t even know who that was.
Tired Of Spreading Yourself Thin?
Three kids later and life is less hectic and challenging than it was back then. I worked out I don’t need to do it all, in fact, I need to care less.
I don’t care if Cassie (and now my other two) don’t eat organic. I don’t care if they don’t bath every night. I don’t care if they eat tinned food. I don’t care if the dishes don’t get done.
I do care that my kids are fed. I do care that my kids are happy. I do care that they get some quality mum time.
What kind of parent do you want to be?
Here at The Baby Vine we want to support you in every aspect of your lives and to help you find out what parent you want to be.
Our Content
We place an emphasis on meaningful, useful and worthwhile content that parents can not only relate to, but gain from.

Just information you can relate to or gain from.
Our researched articles from experts, development play ideas, personal stories, fun videos and amazing giveaways all work together to share everyday parenting experiences in all their variety.

Did you know we have an amazing Facebook Group, full of beautiful mums and dads ready to connect and share ideas. Come join us!
The Baby Vine has been created to provide quality, informative, inspirational content to a community of parents that will help them connect on their journey through the early years.
Feature Stories: we aim to share what one family/parent/child has been through and how they dealt with this, with research or expert opinion incorporated where appropriate. All our features are written to speak to parents, covering topics of interest. Parenting is such a varied experience and we aim to reflect this: we understand that not all couples sail through the trying to conceive process, not all parents-to-be experience a healthy, trouble-free pregnancy, and not all babies are good sleepers, and while we endeavour to offer advice where appropriate, the focus is on building a community of support and instigating discussion.
Your Stories: we want parents to feel assured that they’re doing the best job they can, which is good enough. There is no right way of doing things. Your Stories aim to present one parent or carer's viewpoint that they’re willing to share with others. We want every family to feel supported in our online community and know we are all looking out for each other. We feature real people and real stories.
Food: we provide recipe ideas for both mums and bubs at different stages. We offer suggestions for when you are trying to conceive or while you are pregnant, ideas for how to wean your baby, food picks for those tough toddler years and then plenty of ways to get your preschoolers involved in the kitchen (and hopefully eating those elusive veggies). We love to hear from parents about what has worked for them, and tried and true recipes they have tested on the toughest critics – their kids.
Learning Through Play: it’s amazing how much kids learn in their first few years. Everything is a new and exciting discovery that is building on their different skills. We have a focus on low-maintenance activities that any parent can take part in, whether it’s using things around the home, or involves a trip to a local park. We get back to basics, pointing out exactly what your kids will learn from the activities along the way.
Things We Love: this can be anything from a great book for your toddler to a beautiful blanket for your newborn – any useful things we come across that we think parents might love too. It is also important to acknowledge the people behind the products, so we will profile different creatives and get to know them behind-the-scenes. Where we can, we also endeavour to offer giveaways so you have the opportunity to engage and enjoy the things we love.
Videos: with recipes and ‘How Tos’, these are short, helpful videos aiming to educate, inspire and entertain. From how to make playdough, to embroidering your baby’s first outfit, we aim to motivate you into giving something new a go.
