What did you get up to last bank holiday weekend? It is really nice to have a break and get away as and when there's the option. Before kids, the OH and I used to head to a posh hotel and treat ourselves to a nice meal or a spa, or both... those luxuries are not so easy nowadays, but ...

We have blogged a number of times before in support of Refuge and their 1 in 4 campaign.  The #dontcoveritup video was amazingly powerful and definitely gave us food for thought.  Their latest video is an interactive one, intended to help us all support a friend in a domestic violence relationship. It is again powerful stuff.  It gives us the key ...

          The final of our posts for Armed Forces Day is from the friend who inspired all this.  Thank you, Kate, for getting me thinking about what it is like to be a wife and mother in the forces family and for sharing your story. You can read the previous posts in this series here. I have been a forces fiancé then ...

This is the third in our series of posts by forces wives and mothers in support of Armed Forces Day. Today's post from Karen tells us about the highs and lows of pregnancy and new-motherhood in a new home, a new location and a whole new environment. My husband was in the forces when I met him and was away regularly. ...

As you probably know by now this Saturday it is Armed Forces Day a day dedicated to raising awareness of the work done by British Armed Forces and giving people the opportunity to show their support for the whole Armed Forces community. This week we have a series of guest posts from women whose partners are in the Armed Forces explaining ...

I don't know if you are aware, but this Saturday it is Armed Forces Day a day dedicated to raising awareness of the work done by British Armed Forces and giving people the opportunity to show their support for the whole Armed Forces community. A few weeks ago my husband, daughter and I stayed with a family we have known for ...

Over at Mummy Central they have started a linky for Fathers' day.  It is supposed to be a carnival of Dads.  The topic that they have chosen is "Dear Dad" and they want you to write an open letter to the Father Figure in your life; it can be your father, the father of your children, or anyone else who ...

Ok so we’re ‘More than a Mum’ but we wouldn’t be mums without the cooperation of a dad along the way at some point if you know what I mean!  We know how much it means to us to have a special day when we’re thanked and appreciated as mums so we most definitely want to join in with the ...

As I write this post it is a week until Fathers’ day and I have done precisely nothing about it.  I don’t have a gift for my father-in-law (OH obviously leaves me in charge!) and I don’t have a gift for Munchkin to give to Daddy either, so I thought I’d share my thought process with you, find some great ...

Daddy took munchkin to Richmond park and these are his photos.   I know you all know this, but kids LOVE the outdoors and it is brilliant to get them running, jumping and exploring outside as often as possible. That is why I have joined us up to Country Kids again this week.  It is such a great reminder to us all that it ...
