Happy Mother's day to all you lovely mums out there!
Remember, you are brilliant and you are loved.
And a special shout out to our very own Ruth who became a mummy for the second time on Friday :-)
Last week we started our new blog series about monetising your hobby. (Part one here). Today we have the second in series. Julia has just started turning a fun hobby into something to make her a bit of extra money; who knows where it will lead...
1) What is your hobby?
My hobby is decorating baby gros. I use new and recycled ...
Today is International Women's day - Hurray!
As you well know by now, here at MTAM we aim to encourage and spur you on to be a brilliant mum but also to rediscover your identity as a woman at the same time - something that can sometimes be lost or at least a little pushed aside when we become mums. So ...
Today is World Book day - Hurray! Both Ruth and I share a love (bordering on obsession) for books. In fact for all the diversity in our local group of mummy-friends we are all united in our love for reading which is one of the reasons we started a book club - the other is of course wine but less ...

The report showed that women are decreasing their representation in society and increasingly being excluded ...

The response from you all in comments and tweets was fantastic and I had various smaller publications recommended to me. Since then I have contacted all those magazines which ...

I have read a few articles in the last week or so and they, plus a comment about my new haircut, got me thinking about women and appearance. I am not one for appearances. I hardly ever wear make-up; my clothing choices are mainly based on comfort and practicality over fashion and I get my hair cut about twice a ...
