Thank you Dark Horse Timber for the incredible furniture for our new hub.

For parents wishing to return to work, finding childcare that suits your needs is incredibly important. Sadly in an area considered a childcare desert this decision is one of the most stressful.

OMG what a month for the makeover! This month it was time for all the businesses that had come on board to add their touch to the space. Check it out!

This week I reflected on why I volunteer and when did I really feel great about it. At the core were several key ingredients to make volunteering a satisfying and memorable experience....

Our sign is up! I can’t believe it. We've worked long and hard to get the space up and running. Lots of nights and weekends but alot of laughs and new friends too. It’s been a wonderful experience, made all the better with our new sign thanks to Marge and Mark at Best Digital Designs.

We’re dragging this place out of the 90’s! The old creamy yellow walls screamed paint me from the moment we got the keys. They sucked the light and soul out of the place. Now thanks to an amazing collaboration we’ve got a bright and fresh space!

As a Queenslander I am supposed to naturally accept the colour maroon, after all it’s the colour of the state’s rugby league and rugby union (although known as the Reds) teams. While they are truly the best teams in their respective sports (😉) and the colour symbolises this, as a carpet choice it was a light-sucking crime scene. Combined with the smell from many years as a maternal child health centre meant it really had to go and the faster the better. Enter Karma Flooring.

I can’t tell you how happy we were to get permission from the council to cover these brown bricks. A brick feature wall can be great but honestly there was no way to make these look good. We needed a great local carpenter to banish the brown.

I know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t we keep these classic blinds? Yes they were truly retro-tastic but we didn’t really vibe with the beachie theme. If you stare at them long enough you also start panicking, “OMG where are the kids… that shark looks too content”. I’ve been informed by a real babe of the 90’s that these were the design choice to have. Thank heavens taste changes hey!

It’s always a concern when you have to hunt for power points. That was the situation at the new space. Thankfully we knew just who to call for such a job. Richard from Go Safe Electrical Contractors.

How would I describe progress at the hub. Hmmm… I’d say we’re at the pregnancy equivalent 43 weeks. We’re trying everything we can to get this baby out! Delays with products, raising funds and trades may have slowed us a little, but we’ve still achieved a whole lot!

Mums of the Hills is excited to announce our grant successes with you.
