About

The Mum Reviews began when my children were small, as a place to think aloud about everyday life, care, and the practical realities of parenting. Like many blogs started in that phase of life, it was rooted in the ordinary – routines, recommendations, small moments that mattered at the time.

As my children have grown, so have the questions that occupy my thoughts.

This site now reflects a later stage – not just of parenting, but of responsibility. It’s a space for noticing patterns, asking uncomfortable questions, and thinking carefully about the kind of world we’re shaping and what we pass on to those who come after us.

The name The Mum Reviews remains intentionally. It reflects the lens through which I first learned to pay attention – care, responsibility, and the knowledge that small choices accumulate into shared realities. Parenting is no longer the subject of every post, but it remains part of the perspective.

I’m not interested in offering advice or telling anyone how to think. I’m interested in slowing things down, examining what we’ve come to accept as normal, and creating space for thoughtful disagreement – especially across differences of experience or belief.

This site isn’t affiliated with any organisation or institution. The views expressed here are personal reflections, written in a private capacity. I’m not interested in telling people what to think, but in encouraging critical thinking, kindness, and a serious regard for human rights in how we talk about the world and one another.

If something here makes you pause, question, or see an issue slightly differently, then it’s doing what it’s meant to do.
