Balancing Act: Reflections of Life, Parenting & Juggling

by Monique Mulligan

When Monique Mulligan worked as a journalist, she wrote a column called Balancing Act, which shared her reflections on life, parenting and juggling it all.

From the mundane to the funny (and gross), from reflections about mothering to real-life experiences including our first trip away as a blended family … stupid fights children have … faking sick and faking showers … being THAT family on a plane … and what Monique thought of teenagers before she had them, these reflections are sure to bring a smile to your face.

About the author

Born in Sydney and now living in Perth, Monique Mulligan has loved words from the moment she could use them. She's told she used her words a lot as a child, earning the title of family chatterbox (and arguably still holding that crown). Once she could read, she devoured books with gusto - today, that enthusiasm is mirrored in her love of good food.

A former newspaper editor, journalist, children's curriculum writer and magazine editor, Monique has had a varied career in writing. In 2011, she started blogging book reviews. Since 2012 she has interviewed authors onstage for the successful Stories on Stage program.

Monique's first two novels Wherever You Go and Wildflower were first published by Pilyara Press and were acquired by Bloodhound Books in 2023.
