The Best Nest est. 2007

The Best Nest est. 2007

New Zealand's first 'Mummy Blogger' who's now quite keen to put that illustrious (HA!) title to bed.
It's time for The Best Nest to reflect my experience as a woman recently graduated from years in the kindy trenches. I'll always be a Mum/Wife first and foremost, but at 39 and with both boys at school, I'm looking at sliding into the BIG 4-0 with a wider appreciation of what makes me (and perhaps other women my age?) feel happy, alive, vibrant and worthy.
There's way more to the internet than millennial-driven marketing so let's talk about that! Let's see what that looks like.
As well as raising boys, I love cooking, wine, beauty, fashion, books and travel; slowly working on our fixer-upper 1950's home, snowboarding, running and volunteering as a Rugby Club Captain.
I want to experience ALL the things and I can tell you a good yarn along the way.
Welcome to DECADE. The next 10 years of The Best Nest will be nothing like those prior xx
Melissa.
