Description

🎉 Guess who's back, back again… 🎉 Outlouders, you asked. We listened. And now, it’s happening: Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks are officially back — and they’ve brought the one and only Monique Bowley with them. Yep, Monz has returned to the Mamamia family to bring you Parenting Out Loud. If you love it (OF COURSE YOU WILL), make it your new Saturday ritual. Just search Parenting Out Loud, tap ‘+ follow’, and boom — parenting content with a pulse, delivered weekly. Because when you become a parent, it changes everything. And that includes how you see what's going on in the world. So, every week we deep-dive into the trends, headlines and viral MumToks through the lens of being just that — a parent. This week: Gen Z’s latest reason for giving parenthood the side-eye The guilt trip of not loving every second with your kids Amelia’s campaign to stop parental group texts (bold move) Stacey’s epic analogy for baby number three (you’ll never see tricycles the same way again) Hit play and welcome to the group chat you won't want to mute. Plus, it’s our recommendations: 🪩 Stacey recommends a boogie with your friends at a disco club. 🛏️ Amelia is bringing back the tried and tested hot water bottle. 🧇 Monz is a fan of this fool-proof snack: Take 8 Weet-Bix, 1/4 cup cocoa, 1 cup of desiccated coconut and a can of condensed milk. Stir all ingredients together, roll it into balls, roll in coconut and store in a bag in the freezer.
