Author's of 'What I wish I knew before I became a mother'

Peace Mitchell & Katy Garner

 

 

 

Peace and Katy are sisters who were fortunate enough to become mothers at the same time.  During their time at home with their babies, they found that motherhood was not as easy as it looks and were inspired to help other mothers.  Together with their friends, Peace and Katy established a number of local playgroups, campaigned for improved parenting facilities, built a playground for local families and established an award-winning non-profit organisation called 'Mothers Helping Others'.  They are passionate about helping families and believe that they can help young children by supporting, encouraging and empowering mothers.

 

Since becoming mothers their lives have changed dramatically, it has been an amazing transformation and has been at times overwhelming, exciting, challenging and rewarding - sometimes all in the one day! They have learnt so much during this time about the value of motherhood and the importance of the need for support during this life changing and often isolating time.
