  Have you ever heard of me&i?  No, nor had we, but on Wednesday night, More than a Mum hosted a me&i party.  They sell kids’ and Mums’ clothing via parties and a small amount online and as such they also provide a flexible working option for Mums who want a bit of extra income. As you know we only want ...

      We've been tagged in A Mother’s Work Meme by Musings from a Mum. The Meme was established by Mother. Wife. Me and Pret-A-Mummy to discuss whether or not society values and supports mothers.

Here at More than a Mum our goal is to support you in your dual roles of woman and mum and for many that may be ...

I took my daughter to her swimming lesson last week, we always go a little early so that she can have a play in the soft play area with her swimming friends beforehand. I hadn’t been there long when one of the mum’s completely lost it with her child and started shouting at the top of her voice. I glanced ...

We’ve never run our own Meme at MTAM before so I thought it was about time we did and what better theme than in the run up to the day that celebrates one of our best achievements and roles in life – Motherhood!  I read a touching article in this morning’s Metro on the train and these are the questions ...
