Mothering is so many feelings at once. It is intense, wild, hard, incredible, joyful, motivating and depleting. Circle is space to just be. To relax. To reflect. To decompress. Time to reconnect to yourself and connect with other women on the mothering journey. It is a non-judgmental and warm space to be seen and heard in your journey (the light, the dark and everything in between).
Our clothes swap is back on. These are well known to be great events to update your wardrobe, and meet people. Bring friends and meet new ones at the MotHs Hub.

Three years ago, the dual challenges of COVID-19 lockdowns and impending storms created an objective conflict with opposing threats and guidelines creating uncertainty as to the best course of action. Today MotHs again observes the effects of conflicting emergency warnings on residents, hampering their ability to make prudent, well-informed decisions.
February was jam-packed with social engagements and advocacy at the forefront of our agenda. However, we were also starkly reminded of the inherent risks of our beautiful life nestled among the trees as extreme bushfire warnings, storms, and subsequent power and telecommunication outages swept through our community.
Most people know MotHs has a large online group at its heart, with many smaller branch groups. But MotHs is much more than this. More than simply supporting each other through these challenges, we’re working towards preventing them.
From attending the flag-raising ceremony at Victoria's Government House to rubbing shoulders with inspiring individuals like Darcy McGauley-Bartlett, Dr. Raj Khillan, Dr Janine Mohammed and Ro Allen, it was a month filled with meaningful encounters and impactful discussions.
While storms, flash flooding, and bushfires have long been familiar to the hills, their intensity and frequency are on the rise. Our families now face heightened vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, evident in events like the devastating 2021 storms that led to a monumental loss of trees (approximately 25,000). This loss may have contributed to the increased number and severity of landslides on our roads this week, as the weakened soil, no longer supported by tree roots, inevitably succumbed to the immense volume of rainwater that fell on Sunday and Monday.
That’s a wrap for 2023, we're immensely proud of the challenges we've conquered. Looking forward, we're excited to steer MotHs towards a sustainable future in 2024. Read the President’s report. Here's to more growth, connection, and success!
MotHs has been raising awareness, connecting mothers, supporting research and promoting local businesses since 2015 and we’ve dedicated ourselves to supporting women through the years of motherhood, connecting mothers to services and promoting local businesses. Reducing misinformation has always been a high priority for MotHs. Here is a list of official and approved links so you are informed come Referendum day on October 14th.
It’s time to get the health of mums back on track. We’re doing what we can thanks to this exciting roadshow.
For parents wishing to return to work, finding childcare that suits your needs is incredibly important. Sadly in an area considered a childcare desert this decision is one of the most stressful.
The doors to the MotHs’ Hub in Belgrave are official open. Now we need to get on board to keep the lights on.
OMG what a month for the makeover! This month it was time for all the businesses that had come on board to add their touch to the space. Check it out!
This week I reflected on why I volunteer and when did I really feel great about it. At the core were several key ingredients to make volunteering a satisfying and memorable experience....
Our sign is up! I can’t believe it. We've worked long and hard to get the space up and running. Lots of nights and weekends but alot of laughs and new friends too. It’s been a wonderful experience, made all the better with our new sign thanks to Marge and Mark at Best Digital Designs.
What a month March was!
