Beyond the Bump

How has being adopted impacted your experience of motherhood? - with Sarah Davidson

In today’s episode, we chat with the beautiful Sarah Davidson, who many of you might know as Spoonful of Sarah. 
Sarah opens up about everything from her experiences of being adopted from South Korea yet growing up in a very typical Caucasian Aussie household, to having a miscarriage, and how both of those experiences have shaped the way she approaches life, work, family and now motherhood. Plus she explores why there is so much more to family than biology, and how statistics of loss actually helped her through grief.

As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) - more grocery porn chat and what's your thoughts on this baby name dilemma?

From a failed click and collect that left us snackless, to a broken fridge that had us questioning every life choice, this week had it's fair share of domestic disasters!
Plus we went down the rabbit hole of grocery chat again, because comparing trolleys and hunting deals is basically our new sport.
And we couldn't finish the episode without a good baby name dilemma that has us seriously divided. How close is too close, when you name your baby something similar to a friend?
