I’ve been reflecting on the word ‘hope’ and the power of it lately.  It’s easy to think that hope is a weak emotion – a desperate clutching onto something we desire but are not sure will happen – it’s simply a wish.  However, the definition states hope is; a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.  ...

So I came across another article yesterday that basically blamed mothers for any messed up adults (again!) the headline being – ‘How bond with mother in first 18 months can shape our love life!’ I should probably say it was in the Daily Mail which helped me not to take it too seriously.  However, the article was based on research ...

So, do you want to know a little more about the taster sessions?  Well, here's a bit more about what you can expect on the WOMAN part of the course... The session on the 3rd March the Mum is entitled: Rediscovering you . In this section we'll be gently encouraging you to have a little dig around beneath the nappies, ...

I read with interest yesterday an article on the updated findings of a landmark report published three years ago by the Children's Society – ‘A Good Childhood’ which I blogged on some months back – here.  The previous study warned that young people's lives are being blighted by Britain's selfish society.  However, the updated findings say that 'half a million ...

Today’s post is part of a clever little linky dreamed up by Maria of FeistyTapas.com. She is a very hard working lady, juggling an 18 month old and a fulltime work-from-home job as a translator, oh and blogging about it all. (I bow to her superior abilities!) Her linky  is all about working with children. The only real guidelines are that ...

In this time of New Year’s resolutions and making promises to “do better this year”, don’t forget you.  You are probably aware by now of the mission of More Than a Mum (if not, click here!) and therefore I’d like you all to look carefully at your New Year’s resolutions and check that you’re not using them as a stick ...

I must admit, personally I change ...

Firstly I would like to apologise to Not Just a Mummy for our tardiness in addressing this very worthwhile post.  The idea of this post is to list the things that you'd like for Christmas, that money can't buy and it's a tough one to do without sounding trite or hackneyed, but here is my attempt. 1) Smiles.  The thing that I am ...

This week is anti-bullying week and thinking about it made me recall a conversation I had with a mummy-friend a couple of weeks back.  She had been pulled aside by the nursery staff when she went to pick up her son and was told her son had been caught ‘bullying’ another child – a child with Downs Syndrome.  The whole ...

I am going to share a little more about me than I ought to in this post.  (I’ve had a few glasses of wine!) This evening I have realised that the phrase, “you must have pissed yourself laughing” can only have come from a woman... Yes, I am talking about the lack of pelvic floor muscles I have post baby.  Yes, ...
