This story was originally published at www.BabyNoah.com.au (my new website specifically about this ongoing saga). It was republished by Mamamia and The Mighty, and received its own write-up on Kidspot.com.au. On 28 September 2017, two police officers showed up at my weekly Concord Hospital market stall and told me that someone had filed a report about…
When the Inner West Mums Facebook group told me they’d raised enough money to send me and Noah on a “short break” I had no idea it’d be as extravagant as a 10-day Pacific Islands cruise. The closest I’d gotten to joining a cruise was when I was approached by another cruise line a couple…
This is the interview I did on Studio Ten last Friday regarding baby Noah and the controversy about having him with me at my markets (I haven’t watched it; I steer clear of watching myself on TV). Noah was meant to have been in the studio with me but he was unusually unsettled that morning…
(I’m tired, sleep-deprived and a bit emotional but I feel compelled to get this out so apologies for the inevitable rambling and incoherence.) How time flies. I just realised it’s been over a year since the debacle at OGM that saw an anonymous member of the public petition to have my Down Syndrome baby, Noah,…
Here’s a glimpse into my life as a Malaysian food ambassador and Mom to my Down Syndrome child baby Noah. Thanks to Lenovo Australia & NZ for helping me capture this footage and share with you some of my daily inspiration and what makes me #NeverStandStill. Also, if you missed my social media announcement, I’ve…

It is about my relationship with reality TV star Robb Demarest from Ghost Hunters International and Haunting:Australia. This is NOT a bad breakup story. My marriage to Noah’s dad was a bad breakup and you’ve never heard me divulge…
This below is a copy of a newsletter I sent out to my subscribers overnight, and it’s an update on a previous post – https://jackiem.com.au/2015/12/30/an-important-letter-to-my-customers/ —————————————————————————————————— I’m very sorry to let you know that after having given it much thought, I’ve decided not to return to Orange Grove Market. My smaller vehicle is just not capable of…
I’ve been invited by Rainbow Gallery Café in Victoria’s Pyrenees wine region to do a Malaysian wine dinner on Saturday 5 September. After the media storm of the last couple of weeks over baby Noah, I’ve asked that part of the proceeds go towards Down Syndrome NSW. The 5 courses I’m preparing will be gluten-free,…
A week is a long time in social media. When I received the phonecall a week ago today about the pending complaint about baby Noah, I felt duty-bound to immediately inform my followers that I was going to quit my Saturday market. I posted the announcement across my social media accounts and within an hour…
