Great start Emily! I really enjoy your writing, it’s sometimes a lifesaver to read my thoughts written down beautifully by someone else, to know that I’m not alone and that there is irony in all of this, even at 2am in the morning. I have a 5 year old who just started school and a 9 month old. Please keep doing what you are doing, it’s amazing writing!
My ‘baby’ is 20 ... but you take me right back to the first day at ‘big school’ - finished at 1.30pm ... and I had so many plans for that
time ... and instead ... I was pathetic .. WAITING for 1.30 to roll around ... it gradually improved and I started to use the time productively... but it surely was not so at the start! 😳
Fantastic mahi Emily :). I loved reading your first newsletter and look forward to many more. My baby just turned 4! Rants in the dark was my go to in her first year. Time really does fly ever so fast. Thanks for your kupu that catch the feelings and spread them out for us to see and feel.
Great read! Kapai Emily. I just had a conversation today at playgroup about the preschool years. On one hand I like working, but on the other my smallest baby only has 3 years left till school. On one hand my big girl looooooves school (she's just started) and i'm excited that she's excited, but on the other she's leaving home! (kind of). Lovely thoughts about Hamilton's first day.
I so hear you! Such a big mix of emotions. Hamela Anderson raced into class and didn’t even say goodbye this morning! It’s like he’s always been a school kid!! Aghh!

Oh that makes me feel better. I nearly hid in the bushes to spy on him 😂
I don't follow any dogs on insta now I feel like I'm missing out?? Thanks for the excellent content, as always 😁👍😘
In my opinion follow only dogs 😂
Genius! I mean, I follow 5 now, so it's only a matter of time until I rage-unfollow everyone else...
😂
Now I feel I have to get insta just to follow dogs?
I absolutely think you should!
Great stuff! All the best for your new venture :)
Thank you! 😍

Oh thank you! I can’t believe it has been so long since Rants came out! Wild. Four is such a great age ❤️ Thank you for the support!
