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 ...

Yesterday I blogged about cheating your way to being a 'Yummy Mummy' and that truly is my method most of the time.  However, we all deserve a bit of luxury now and then.  A few weeks ago we encouraged you to make space in your wardrobes for the new seasons purchases and the Summer is a great time to focus ...

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 ...

So it's at least trying to be Spring at last which means it's time to Spring clean - I mean your wardrobe not your house! Now is the time, in the anticipation of better weather, to make space in your wardrobe for Summer clothes and remove the winter ones.  It is therefore also an ideal time to have a good sort ...

We're now well into our new blog series about monetising your hobby. (Part two here).  Today we have the third in the series. Gemma used her background in fashion and love for all things creative to turn her hobbies into a business after she became a mum. 1) What is your hobby?

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 ...

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 ...

94% of mothers spend more on their child’s wardrobe than their own (and nearly half feel guilty about spending money on clothes for themselves) A new survey by Lakeside Shopping Centre has found that mothers are putting their children first in the style stakes, with 94 per cent spending more on their child’s wardrobe than their own. A third of mothers would ...

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 ...
