Currently Browsing : More Than A Mum

I think it's safe to say that neither Ruth or myself would say we fit firmly into the 'yummy mummy' category. Ruth's reason would probably be more sensible and high-brow than me i.e doesn't have the inclination or feel the need with mine being pretty shallow and primarily because I don't have the time, funds or know how!  As a ...

On Wednesday last week, Loretta and I headed out to meet the lovely Dina from Kensington Mums.  She was running an event for Mums intended to provide Mums with a space to discuss their perceptions of Motherhood and to collect footage for her Motherhood exhibition which takes place online and at Beaufort House, Chelsea on the 7th June. Loretta and I ...

We were given the task by the lovely people at Swinton Insurance, who have some great competitive home insurance quotes, to host a 'Perfect Night in' for mums.  What with the seemingly endless winter weather and distinct lack of relaxation in mummyhood, we jumped to the challenge.   Any regular readers will know that our ethos here at MTAM is ...

Have you heard of model, Arizona Muse? Well I hadn’t until this week and I usually don’t have too much time for models but this is one lady who in my opinion is a great ‘role’ model for mums and firmly ticks our ‘More than a Mum’ boxes. Not only is Arizona a mum to three year old son, Nikko, but ...

  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 ...

At More than a Mum, we have mixed feelings about the upcoming Valentine’s Day, as I am sure many of you do.  On one hand, it can be easily dismissed as an over commercialised, capitalist festival of slush and false sentiment.  If you have a partner and a child it’s hardly likely to be the day of passionate smooches and ...
