In this Very Respectable Parent's opinion all this new modern parenting advice is impractical and contributing to a rapid social decline. To reverse this decline parents must throw out the sticker charts and take a firm hand to the fruit from their very own loins, and more to the point, to themselves. Only by taking a good hard look at themselves can parents claw back the last shreds of respectability.

Fat Mumma's is Tracy Bell and Kathy Jenkins. The Fat Mumma' s brand is all about creativity and community. The FM logo is inspired by the cartoon styles of Osamu Tezuka and through the Fat Mumma persona we've tried to challenge the gender stereotypes of motherhood. Many of our products are made with both male and female parenting needs in mind; a nappy bag that converts from a back-pack to an over-the-shoulder bag, or a bag that can be reversed to hide a pink floral pattern with a more neutral black vinyl.Through our blog we hope to create a community of parents with an eye for great design, that have some say in the design process.Our dreams are to fund projects in developing nations and social justice campaigns for women and children around the world, while bringing up healthy, happy, confident kids! We're thinking big in a small hand-made world!!!

Much of what I will write here will be about living in Tropical North Queensland as a thirty-something year old woman, mother, sister, aunty, friend and evolving spirit grappling with existence in this life I have chosen. I look forward to sharing the lucid dreamscapes that inhabit my nocturnal consciousness, reflections that arise from contemplative afternoons spent on my ever-sunny balcony, the passions that may unexpectedly rise from the depths within me, and the lows that sometimes grab me from around dark corners.
