But she wanted to be.
She wanted to create a family life of value, and to provide her four children with many wonderful memories. So she started the blog as a goal. That is where the name Be A Fun Mum came from.
So what is the blog actually about?
Be A Fun Mum isn’t a craft or activity blog. It’s a blog about connection and designing family life.
Sure, there is craft and fun activity ideas. Recipes, DIY projects and stories, but that’s not the core of the blog.
The blog is largely about developing your own parenting style and having fun with it. This largely comes in stages.
And where does the fun come into it? Fun comes in all shapes and forms. What one person finds fun can be completely different than another. And that is why this blog, Be A Fun Mum, isn’t about craft or paint or collage, or birthday parties. It’s about finding your own way to be fun with your kids. It’s about being a fun family who does stuff, who experiences life together.
Being a fun mum isn’t an hour dedicated to paint in the backyard. It’s about creating a life of memories (which — sure — might include painting in the backyard). It’s the ability to take the time, to waste time with little ones as you watch a ladybug fly. It’s walking arm in arm with your teen, laughing, not because of the moment but what it represents: an investment in relationship over years and years. It’s about finding ways to connect when things aren’t all that fun.
Be a Fun Mum is an attitude, not something you do.
Creating a happy childhood for children is like gifting them little memory anchors that can be drawn on throughout their entire life.
