SPORTY AND ARTY V FAST AND FLASHY: COVID DRIVE BREAK IN PAROCHIALISM

Victorians have the strongest sense of identity with their state of anybody in Australia, according to research that claims COVID-19 has deepened parochial sentiment and made it easier for state governments to shut their borders. Ms Cavalier, a 43-year old mother of two, said she couldn’t picture herself living anywhere else. “I just think we have such an endless supply of arts and culture. There’s always so much on offer,” she said.

Sarah is the writer of the fantastic MamaMag, a free Melbourne magazine and blog about all things local and fun for Mums. She’s also Mum to the adorable Lachie and Milla who love scooting with her.

What gets in the way of having fun with the kids?

Time. I’m a full time working single mum whose kids only get to see their dad on weekends (2-3 a month) as he lives over an hour away which is too far for school night stays. This means our weekends for fun at home are very limited. Week days are a juggle of ‘eat breakfast’, ‘get dressed’, ‘do your homework’, ‘off to soccer practice’ etc, so I have to be very careful that I make time for fun stuff in amongst all the routine. We can’t have Dad taking all the “fun” glory can we. Read more…

MICRO SCOOTERS – MEET OUR MICRO MUMS

Mumpreneur Sarah Cavalier is Editor-in-chief of MamaMag, a Melbourne based parenting mag, Mum to two gorgeous kids and a Micro Mum.

What is the best thing about being a scooting Mum?
The best thing about being able to scoot with my kids is being able to share something they love with them. My kids spend most weekends up at their dad’s house, so it’s important for me to make the most of the time I have with them during the week doing fun things, otherwise ‘mum time’ becomes all about school, homework, dinner and bath time and the kids really notice that. It’s really important to them to have ‘fun-time’ with mum as well and they love the fact we can all scoot together. Read more…

BAYSIDE LEADER – 11 AUGUST 2015

Mother becomes magazine maestro.

A REVERSE tree change back to Bayside has led to a new lease on life for graphic designer Sarah Cavalier. Sarah Cavalier has been nominated for an AusMumpreneur Award.

The mother of two went to live in Mt Macedon 10 years ago but felt the country life was not for her.

After moving back to her birthplace, last year she set up a magazine for mothers in our region, creating Bayside MamaMag in her Brighton East home.

“Even though I grew up in Bayside, my friends had all moved away and I knew no local families having had my kids in the country. I no longer had a local mothers group and was not familiar with the local services around,” Ms Cavalier said.
