The Curious Mum: A Baby Friendly Books & Ideas Circle

Have you ever wished there was a space where you could reconnect with the part of yourself that existed before motherhood?

I created The Curious Mum after searching for a community where I could discuss books, explore new ideas, embrace creativity and connect with like-minded mums - all while bringing my baby along. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to create it.

This is a relaxed, baby-friendly gathering for mums with babies and young toddlers (approximately 0-3 years of age) who enjoy meaningful conversation and lifelong learning.

Mums to be welcome!

Each month we’ll explore one accessible non-fiction book as a starting point for discussion.

What to expect

🧠Thought-provoking but accessible non-fiction

🎧Audiobooks count! Feel free to listen to the book at your convenience

⌛️No pressure to finish the book - Come along anyway! 

👶Babies Welcome 

We’ll explore topics including psychology, science, history, philosophy, creativity, relationships, society, money, health and more in future sessions! 

September’s Book: An Immense World by Ed Young

Theme: A fascinating exploration of the hidden sensory worlds all around usand what they reveal about perception, nature, and the limits of our own human experience.

You don’t need to finish the book to attend. Even reading a chapter or listening to part of the audiobook is enough to join the conversation.

Location: We’ll be meeting at Queen’s Park Kitchen (Cafe) Outdoor Area located in Queens Park in Randwick.

Please bring:

• A picnic rug or blanket

• Anything you or your baby may need during the morning (snacks, milk, toys, nappies, etc.)

• Your book (optional!)

• A coffee / snack can be purchased at the cafe if you wish

☂️We’ll either sit in the outdoor area under the umbrellas of Queens Park Kitchen Cafe or on the grass next to the cafe depending on the weather.

• This is a relaxed, community-led gathering rather than a facilitated workshop or lecture.

• Please supervise your own child at all times. Every parent remains responsible for the care and safety of their little one throughout the event.

• Babies may feed, sleep, play, cry or need changing during our discussion—that’s all part of the experience.

• Please be mindful of others and help us create a welcoming, respectful environment for everyone.

• If your plans change, I’d really appreciate you cancelling your registration so another mum can attend.
