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…
Congratulations to everyone who rallied to help Wyatt’s family cover his medical expenses; I am touched beyond measure by your show of generosity. My original target was $500; we’ve managed to raise AUD$1405.89 through book sales and personal donations (after processing fees and postage costs), AND separately raised USD$545.00 on Wyatt’s GoFundMe page which his…
Since I put out the call to #helpWyatt (initial story at bit.ly/helpwyatt), we’ve collectively managed to raise enough not just for the family’s upcoming medical trip this weekend, but also hopefully the next two as well. I emailed you a few days about Prestige Home Appliances and how they’ve stepped in and offered a Giveaway…
The wonderful folks at Prestige Home Appliances have stepped up to the plate and are offering an Optimum Induction Pressure-Cook Pro as a Giveaway to one lucky person who donated towards Wyatt’s cause. (If you missed my previous email, here’s the story >> bit.ly/helpwyatt ). The Induction Pressure-Cook Pro is a multi-function cooker and is…
If you’ve followed me for any length of time you’ll know about baby Noah and his rough start to life, with 3 lifesaving operations and a 7-month stint in hospital which included a number of late-night callouts for me to go to the ICU to prepare for his demise. I know from the many, many…
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…
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…
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…
I get asked all the time why I don’t operate at more markets or do more events and festivals. This is the first time I’m speaking about this in public. My online videos, TV appearances and travel are not so much exercises in vanity as they were a conscious decision made 2 ½ years ago…
