Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog! I’m Ness, an Australian mum of an energetic 4 year old boy, who I refer to on this blog as “R”. I believe in gentle, positive parenting and I’m inspired by the philosophies of Montessori and Reggio Emilia.
One Perfect Day is where I share my family’s journey of gentle parenting, playful learning, and finding joy in the little moments.
Here you’ll find learning activities, art for kids, sensory play, imaginative play, family recipes, and thoughts on parenting.
Please feel free to introduce yourself and engage in the discussions here, even if it’s a simple “Hi”. Comments are what makes the blogging world go round and your comments really do make my day. Ask questions, share your stories and let’s have some fun!
If you are wondering where to start, take a look at the pictures on the sidebar to the right for links to some of our most popular posts. I hope you find something to inspire you!
I’d love for you to join our wonderful Facebook community and you can also find us on Pinterest and Twitter.
If you would like to get in touch via email, you can reach me at oneperfectdayblog AT iinet DOT net DOT au

Ness, I cannot seem to find your email address. Would you drop me a line?
Hi, glad to find your blog today – I write a blog also (www.sharnanigans.com) and I very much try to find the beauty in the moment while parenting whilst also coming clean about my struggles. Love the blog world and always stoked to find a great new blog. Enjoyed what I have read here so far

Love your blog! I’ve chosen two of your posts to share on my “Fun Stuff” section as I rebuild my website. “Raised Salt” and “Marble Painting” are the two I selected. If you prefer I not link them please let me know….my target for uploaded the new site is in the next week or so (no later than October 1st). Thanks for the wonderful resources!!
Hi Lynne. I’ve just taken a peek at your site and blog. Wow! You have some beautiful photos there. Thanks for your kind words about my blog and for asking about linking to my posts. I wasn’t able to locate the “Fun Stuff” section of your site to see what you meant by linking. If it is simply a mention of the post with a link back (ie no copying of the actual text in the post or photos) then, yes, that would be lovely of you to share them. Thank you.
So glad to have found your blog!:) I would love to invite you to write a guest post related to Australian culture (recipe or craft?). I just saw your pavlova recipe and my mouth is watering:).
