A blog about international parenting, depression, anxiety, motherhood and family life.
Established in 2016, the Not So Goldilocks blog started as a private way for Kate Jones-Mamba to deal with periods of depression and anxiety, particularly after the birth of her first son. The official blog site was born in May 2017, and all posts from that time can be found in the Blog Posts section of this site – Enjoy! Blog posts cover a wide range of topics as well as a wide geographical area, as Kate’s partner is from Southern Africa and they often travel (when permitted) to that part of the world. For now, though, Kate and the NSG family are based in SW London, UK. For more info, check out the About Me section on this site.
