You may remember our post within the flexible working Mum's series where Erin told us about the Small Print Jewellery franchise business she ran and how this had spurred her on to run her own business called Pitter Patter Hub for Bubs.  Well, Erin is now expecting her second baby in January, but this hasn't stopped Pitter Patter growning.  She ...

When at MTAM we received a message telling us about the launch of a new Internet Radio station for pregnant women and babies aged 0-3 I just had to check it out especially as I work in radio myself. Radio4Baby was launched on 20th September launched by Tomek Krolikewicz in Poland.  It was composed for infants and pregnant women, with the ...

We've had quite a few posts lately catering for our 'mum' sides so I thought I'd do one specifically to remind you all once again that you are brill mums but also you are 'More than a Mum'. I read an interesting article today written by a man (Yashar Ali) as a message to all women that they are not crazy.  ...

So, who knew?  The love of all things chocolate is legitimately celebrated this week.  Excellent news in my book.

HOWEVER... 2 grumpy children with colds + 2 tired Mummies + 2 good lattes = enjoyable day.  Loretta and I (both fighting colds) spent the ...

I read a report the other day about the hopes and dreams of seven-year-olds and how there seems to be a link between the level of aspiration children hold and resilient they are; it made me think of two things, one what are the hopes and dreams of our children; should we encourage children out of unrealistic dreams or into ...

As Ruth blogged this week about an incident when Munchkin embarrassed her I though it was only fair that I do the same concerning Bear-Cub. This week I was the cover presenter for the Women's show at the radio station where I work.  Each day we have a phone-in topic and I usually try to choose something topical in the news ...

At the end of the summer holidays, you may remember I ran an outdoor fun session for pre-schoolers.  Munchkin came with me and it was all round great fun, however I did have to overcome a mildly embarrassing start thanks to the afore-mentioned Munchkin... I started the session with a few outdoor rules: Don’t put anything, even fingers, in your mouth;  ...

Today the findings of the '2012 Modern Motherhood Report' were published (the full report can be found in the October issue of Red Magazine).  In many ways the findings were nothing new - today's women are delaying motherhood - we all know this.  However, there were some interesting discoveries: According to the survey, half of women delay starting a family because ...
