The minute Munchkin, B2 and I walked into Ralph Lauren kids for the Sharky and George book launch last week, Munchkin was captivated. We were there not to shop (my budget doesn't stretch to that!) but for the launch of Sharky and George's first book, 'Don't You Dare'. Keep reading and you could win a copy for your kids. Munchkin was immediately ...

A vital part of being 'More than a Mum' and remembering that you are also a 'woman' is to safe guard and nurture your relationship with your partner.  A new report by the relationship charity OnePlusOne reveals this morning that nearly a quarter of parents in the UK are no longer with the partner they had their first child with. ...

This week I watched a seriously disturbing video where 8 black preschooler children are asked a series of questions about two dolls - one black and one white.  The results are horrific indeed when each of the children when asked which is the 'pretty' doll points to the white doll and which is the 'ugly' doll points to the black ...

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 ...

I love going to art galleries; I love looking at paintings and I love the peace of an art gallery. Can you manage to experience this with a 4 year old and a 5 week old? Well, last Monday that is what I attempted to do. Munchkin, B2 and I spent several hours in the National Gallery and had a ...

Both Munchkin and Bear Cub turned 4 years old recently as did the kids of all our mummy friends we met at antenatal classes. So it has been a month when our children have had a busier social diary than we have with all the parties they have attended. There can be huge pressure to give your child a birthday party ...

Last Monday I wrote about me-time and made a link-up badge. That was an achievement.  As our belief that me-time is massively important for Mums is also one of our key values here at More than a Mum, we thought we'd see if we could make Me-Time Mondays a regular feature.  We will write something about me-time every week and add ...

After the success of our 'Flexible Working Mums' posts that we ran last year, we thought we would run another blog series featuring inspiring Mums who have monetised their hobbies to enable them to do something they love.  the hobby has been turned into a fully fledged business, or whether they are just making some pocket money or covering costs, ...

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 ...

The lovely people at Virgin Money Travel gave us some tickets to London Zoo and asked us to go enjoy ourselves and write about it - an offer we were not about to refuse! We could not have had more perfect weather for the day with a clear blue sky, bright sunshine and crisp, fresh air.  London Zoo is situated in ...
