Work With Me

Who am I?

Hello there! Welcome to Stuff Mums Like. I'm Maraya, a mother of three who's (not so gracefully) navigating the challenges of balancing the early stages of adulthood with the world of primary school. When I'm not curating content for Stuff Mums Like, you'll find me immersed in my role as a children's book publicist. My TV and film obsession is real, and I confess, a day without chocolate is a rare feat. Teen dramas and crime shows hold a special place in my heart. Is there anything better that watching 28 year olds pretend to be 16?

I'm always planning our next adventure. My travel list is long, I just need the funds to make it happen!

Our home is nestled in the lively yet slightly chaotic northern beaches of Sydney, where we live in a 'family compound' with my sister, her husband and their two young children. So, as a house of nine, you can imagine how crazy it can get! While I may not have fully mastered the art of domesticity, I proudly embrace the philosophy of "why do today what can be put off until tomorrow?" After all, there are more exciting pursuits than tackling household chores, right? Cooking might not be my forte, but baking is my escape—fair warning, you'll probably find an abundance of sweet recipes here, and not a lot of main courses!

The Blog

Stuff Mums Like is a whole medley of things because I get bored fast! We don't fall into a niche and that's how we like it! So here you'll find a whole mix of things; recipes, product reviews, travel ideas, activities, parenting stories, giveaways and whatever else crosses my mind.

You may see I work with a lot of brands. Without these amazing brands, there wouldn't be a blog so give them some love! I only work with brands I think you'll love.

Please note Stuff Mums Like is an Australian based blog
