Dear Mums,
Do you feel like you’re constantly overwhelmed with everything you have to do?
Do you catch yourself daydreaming, only to snap back to reality because the laundry needs doing, your toddler is climbing on a dangerous shelf, and your baby needs feeding?
Do you feel frustrated when hearing how you should be grateful that you can stay at home with your kids? (Of course you’re grateful! But, there’s still a part of you that wonders if you’ll ever be able to achieve your goals and dreams.)
I know what you’re going through. That’s why I created the ‘Follow Your Dreams’ blog, because, although my aim is to empower children, I want to support you as well. It’s important that you fulfil your potential – both for your own mental health, as well as for your children, who will watch their role model succeed.
The ‘Motivation for Mums’ section consists of weekly encouraging posts drawn from my own experience. It’s best accompanied by the free workbook, which can be downloaded here.
The ‘Inspirational Mums’ section consists of interviews with mums who are following their dreams while raising kids. The aim of these interviews is to encourage you to follow your own path after seeing how others have done it. If you wish to be considered for an interview, please contact me here.
And finally, because we all want to be the best parents we can be, there’s also the ‘Empower Your Kids’ section. This consists of monthly guest posts by Sabrina Persiano, who is a play therapist and parenting coach. Sabrina has plenty of experience in her field, and I’m proud to be working with her.
I hope you find this blog useful. Should you need any further assistance, please contact me on amanda@amandakiddstories.com.
Much love,

People are always confused when I tell them that I hate feeling like a failure, but I enjoy failing. They always assume that I’m talking about the same thing, but I’m not. Allow me to explain. My childhood dream was to become an author, but I didn’t believe I could do it. Thoughts like ‘things […]
In last week’s post, I spoke about changing your attitude to change your life. Although this internal change is essential, it must also be accompanied by an external one – changing your habits. If you downloaded the free workbook, you know that I used to watch NCIS religiously while ironing. While watching NCIS is not […]
‘Why are you always smiling?’ That’s a question I hear often. People tend to assume that I have an easy life with no worries. Of course, that’s not the case. Who has an easy life, right? The reason for my happiness is simple: I’m always looking for it, and when you’re looking for something, you’ll […]

Children’s author and book marketing coach, Laurie Wright is a silly but smart, busy mum of three who laughs at her own jokes just a bit too much. The minivan is her sanctuary, and the only place she can sing out loud without being shushed. She’s known for her short-term memory and extreme love of […]
Katie Pye is a New Zealand-based author with a daft sense of humour and an uncanny ability to make anything rhyme. Katie launched headlong into her hilarious journey of re-crafting fairytale favourites when she discovered how powerful stories are in getting kids to chat. Katie’s books are delightful, but they aren’t just that. Each Fairytale Fraud […]
As we were out in the garden, on one rare sunny day, I noticed a hedgehog making its way through the overgrown bushes. This side of the garden was full of weeds and plants that I avoid tending to. Our visitor was surprisingly big – I had always thought that hedgehogs were quite small, but […]
As parents, we all want what’s best for our children. We want them to succeed; we want them to go through life without going through hardships; we don’t want them to experience any pain or sadness whatsoever (wrap them in cotton wool, anyone?) We want to be their protectors, be the mother dinosaur that will […]
“When can I play with Elliott – like, not on the iPad?” My eight-year-old daughter asks me questions like this almost everyday. “We can’t go on the plane yet because of coronavirus, but when it is safe to go again, we’ll visit Elliott right away. I guess you miss playing with him face to face,” I […]
