Grappling With Guilt

Mummy guilt...

It begins with the vitamins you didn’t take before conception, the wine you drank before those two little blue lines appeared, the chocolate ice-cream you consumed by the tub, and before Junior is even born you’re swimming in a world of mummy guilt.

KOTC Team

Our Team
	TONI EGGLESTON - PUBLISHER Toni is a mum of three children, Ruby, Saskia and Lucas . Toni is the ‘I have a brilliant idea!’ person, whose mind never stops thinking of the next feature, the next event, the next review - no matter what time of day or night. Without Toni’s ‘brilliant ideas’, Kids on the Coast would never have been born. If Toni were a fruit – She would be a mango, because they are tough skinned but soft and gooey on the inside. If Toni were a puppy – She would be a Kelpie, because she nips at the heels making sure everyone has done their jobs!
	SIMONE BELL - ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Simone is a mum of three daughters, Jessica, Mia and Zoe, and with a husband who travels for work, means a very busy life! Her ambition in life is to be organised. Just once. If Simone were a fruit – She would be a strawberry, because they come in all shapes and sizes but are sweet anyway! If Simone were a puppy – She would be a beagle, because she has to know everything and doesn't like being left out of the loop!
	KELLIE KRUGER - ADMIN WIZZ Kellie is a Mum of 2, Lili and Wil. The most physical of our team, outside hours you will find Kellie, running the national park or boxing. We think she’s strange because she like the words ‘beep’ and ‘test’ being used in the same sentence. If Kellie were a fruit - She would be a watermelon – sweet and refreshing and so much more than one piece. If Kellie were a puppy - She would be a Labrador – nurturing, protecting and always on the lookout for those close to her.
	Jackie goldston - editor Jackie is a Mum to Declan and Freya. High energy, high speed, Jackie doesn’t function without at least three double shot lattes before a meeting – generally around the 10am mark. Most quality coffee shops on the coast know Jackie well. If Jackie were a fruit – She would be a peach. It explodes when you bite into it (in a good way!) If Jackie were a puppy – She would be a Jack Russell. Running, and running and running.
	renee english - advertising Renee is a Mum to Zoe and Tori, and another whose husband travels for work means she’s perfected the juggling act. Selling advertising has come naturally to Renee, showing huge passion for everything she does.... including exercise. If Renee were a fruit – She would be a passionfruit. An abundance of personality with a welcome tang. If Renee were a puppy - She would be a Blue Healer. Loyal, loveable and driven.
	Louisa kneller - ADVERTISING Louisa is a Mum to Telia, Renee and Josh. Our office ‘worrier’, Louisa keeps us all in line. Head down, bum up, Louisa is the loyal team member who mothers all of us. If Louisa were a fruit – She would be a pink lady apple, the trustworthy, reliable addition to any fruit salad. If Louisa were a puppy – She would be a cocker spaniel because they love to hang out outside and romp around with their family
