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;  ...

More than a Mum is about sharing stories, advice and information which will benefit you as a Mum and a woman and the other day I was recounting a story to Loretta and she said to me that it just had to be a blog post!  To me it was a story of my ineptitude, but according to Loretta there ...

Last week we received a book in the post.  My Mum had seen it advertised and decided she had to get us a copy.  It's called: My Big Shouting Day by Rebecca Patterson.  It's brilliant.

Having just read Caitlin Moran’s ‘How to be a Woman’ (don’t worry I won’t spoil it for you book clubbers who haven’t finished it yet!) I now know how impossibly silly it is being a woman.  Moran has a brilliant way of showing us how idiotic we can be while allowing us to laugh at ourselves at the same time ...

You may or may not know about my medical condition, Macro-madness. Unfortunately it means that I am physically compelled to spend large amounts of time with my camera in my hand attempting to photograph insects and plants at unfeasibly close range. I thought that a possible cure for this might be to attempt to merge it with my picnik-a-holic status ...
