Sarah came to our More than a Mum course last March.  She was  keen to start something for herself; perhaps as a hobby; perhaps as a business.  A little while ago she contacted us again having started up some websites.  Today she has written us a guest blog to share her experience so far; hopefully inspire some of you to have ...

Does a glass of wine once the children are in bed affect the way you parent? Alcohol, the festive season and parenting. There is always an increase in awareness campaigns around alcohol in the run up to Christmas and this year is no different. This year, however, a campaign in Scotland is said to be aimed at parents.  Are we the worst ...

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 ...

Over the last few weeks we have been running Friday posts about flexible working for Mums.  Last Friday we had a post from The Working Mums Coach about the dangers of using the terms 'work/life balance' and last Wednesday we asked whether you could or would take your child to work.  Today, we have a post from Work Free a ...

We have come to the end of our series of Friday 'Flexible working mums' posts.  To round the series off we thought it would be brilliant to hear from Elinor Wilde, the working mum coach.  She is a brilliant and down to earth lady with some fantastic ideas about how you can manage your commitments and get the most out ...

We have had a guest blog post about  motherhood and creativity before from Writing Parents, and hopefully that inspired many of you to pick up a pen and see what popped out.  If you're already a blogger then you overcome that blank page fear on a regular basis and are already stretching your creative muscles.  Well, it may (or may ...

Following on from the success of our post last Friday about homeselling as an opportunity to work for yourself as a stay at home mum, we have an interview today with Erin Thomas-Wong who started running a Small Print franchise having given up work after the birth of her son.  Whereas working for Pampered Chef, Emma is an employee, Erin ...

Here at More than a Mum, we are passionate about women being brilliant Mums and rediscovering themselves as women.  For many women, motherhood means a break in career. We may have given up work to enable us to stay at home with our children; we may have given up work as the hours/travel/lifestyle were not compatible with family life; we ...

On Thursday last week we gained a new follower on Twitter in the form of @MoMLondon.  As usual, I pottered over to say thank you for following us and have a look at who our newest follower was, and then I realised that MoM stood for Museum of Motherhood.  How could More than a Mum not be interested in a ...
