Raising Kids in Cozy Spaces
Creative ideas for playing and growing in small apartments or spaces
About me
Hi there! I'm a Yorkshire-born mum of two, now raising my little crew in a cozy apartment in the heart of Sydney, Australia. With house prices soaring, we chose to stay close to the CBD and embrace small-space living — and honestly, we love it. Our neighbourhood is full of life, with parks, cafés, and everything we need just a stroll away. This blog is my way of sharing the ups, downs, and clever hacks of raising kids — including our wonderfully neurodivergent little man — in a compact home.
I hope it inspires other families to see the beauty and possibility in small-space parenting.
