Currently Browsing : You the MUM

This time last year, Loretta and I were reading our Twitter feed and it was full of excited references to the upcoming #BritMumslive.   We were not attending.  We were jealous! This year, thanks to Look Again we have do not have to look on with jealousy, because we too are going to BritMums Live! Look Again is an online shop, perfect for ...

It’s Fathers’ Day today and in the few days leading up to it there have been some interesting reports released in relation to fathers and the way that they are perceived and the roles they take in their childrens’ lives.  Normally in this blog we focus on the representation of women and in particular Mums, but today we are looking ...

Many of you will know that we have been involved in the run up to the Kensington Mums Motherhood Exhibition event which was the brainchild of the lovely Dina from Kensington Mums and Pippa from Story of a Mum.  Well after all the hard work and preparation the big day finally came on June 7th 2013. Excited to have a night ...

I love it when I find an event that I know I am going to enjoy as much as BearCub, as opposed to having to endure it, and on the late May bank holiday we found one - Shlomo's Beatbox Adventure for kids! We were looking for something fun to do for the day and BearCub is really into Beatbox, rapping, ...

It was with great excitement that we headed out to a press night at the newly opened Bush Hall Dining Rooms in Shepherds Bush last Tuesday. Munchkin insisted that she should wear a 'posh dress' because she was going out for dinner.  So she changed and we headed out to meet some friends and their child in the newly opened ...

On the whole I'm quite a fan of Will Smith and it's hard not to like the guy but recently I've certainly had some questions about his parenting style.  In the process of promoting his current film, which he stars in alongside his 14 year old son Jaden, Will has done a number of interviews recently where he has been ...

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. ...

As I write this, B2 is nearly 8 weeks old and I have drifted (actually violently swerved!) from feeling like an in control super-mum enjoying time with two beautiful children, to feeling like an incompetent fool with two hideous monsters who will no doubt grow up to hate me, if indeed they don’t already! Tears can come unbidden at any ...

Today's blog is slightly different to the previous ones in this series.  Lynne from 'Look After Me' did not turn her hobby into cash when she became a parent, but turned her parenting skills themselves into an income stream.             1) What is your hobby? It's not really applicable to my business, but traveling is my hobby/passion 2) Was this a hobby you started ...
