Thismumrocks
Heya,
I’m Heather. I live in Featherston New Zealand with my other half Ewan, my little rowdy Hannah Riley, and mad dog Brew.
A Canadian who met & married a Kiwi, I’m now in my 30′s with a young bub trying to make sense of this thing called parenthood/adulthood.
I started the This Mum Rocks blog as a compliment to This Mum Rocks, the weekly radio programme I record & broadcast that airs Thursdays @ 3.30 on ArrowFM 92.7. This Mum Rocks is an hour long programme that is a 50/50 mix of music & South Wairarapa info. Like the radio programme, I aim to have a bit of fun with this Blog as well as give some info & insight into the cool things you can do with little ones.
