Your local guide to the best fashion, food, family fun and shopping in Melbourne
I’ve often wondered if jewellery designed to help teething babies is as good as it claims. It always looks too pretty to let little ones chew on it.
I was recently asked to review Gumigem jewellery and as my youngest is past that stage in life (although I have been tempted to buy some jewellery just because it looks so nice 🙂 ), I enlisted the help of two mums with little ones.

Today we’re getting to know Debbie from Story Mama.
1. Tell us a little about yourself?
I am a married mother of one very active little boy. Before Story Mama I was a senior operational manager in a wholesale division of one of the big 4 banks. Before kids I loved fine dining and travel… post kids I am content with reading when I can and maybe a cheeky glass of chardonnay now and then. Before I had children I worked as a Project Manager and obviously had more time to do whatever I wanted to do. But I love being a Mum, in particular a working Mum, and wouldn’t change a thing.
2. Describe Story Mama in one sentence?

So, you’ve probably realised by now that I LOVE MELBOURNE!
It’s the shopping (of course), the people (that’s you), the food , the weather (ok, so that’s not really true – let’s say I love to hate the weather) and all the other wonderful things this fab city has to offer.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how many talented people live, make & create here.
I always get excited when I come across products that are made right here in Melbourne and wanted to share my love of “Melbourne Made” products with you. …
Today we’re getting to know Laura and Colleen from Shady Days.
1. Tell us a little about yourself?
Colleen: I have three crazy kids that are part of a larger and loving extended family of more crazy cousins and relos.
I don’t have a lot of spare time but love catching up with high school friends and family, cooking and eating, and if spare time and spare $s allow – clothes shopping and home decorating. …
