We were given the task by the lovely people at Swinton Insurance, who have some great competitive home insurance quotes, to host a 'Perfect Night in' for mums.  What with the seemingly endless winter weather and distinct lack of relaxation in mummyhood, we jumped to the challenge.   Any regular readers will know that our ethos here at MTAM is ...

Last Monday I wrote about me-time and made a link-up badge. That was an achievement.  As our belief that me-time is massively important for Mums is also one of our key values here at More than a Mum, we thought we'd see if we could make Me-Time Mondays a regular feature.  We will write something about me-time every week and add ...

I am sitting here on the first day that I have had all to myself in a long time.  I am 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant.  Munchkin is at nursery and hubby is at work.  I was looking forward to having this day all to myself, but now it’s here I am unsure how to fill it.  This, I ...

As you know we are big advocates of 'me-time' at MTAM.  We believe a happy mum means a happy child and what more could result in a happy mum than a bit of relaxation and pampering?!  So, we were delighted when the lovely Dina (@KensingtonMums) invited us to a pamper morning she was hosting at the wonderful Neal's Yard in ...

I LOVE the theatre.  Half my degree at University was theatre based.  I enjoy the experience of pretty much any type of performance just as I love going to exercise my critical appreciation.  And I am really loving passing this on to Munchkin.  I am lucky we live in London. There are so many venues with so many shows aimed ...

Yet again in the press this week a new study confirmed that modern mothers are constantly wracked by guilt.  Apparently this time, not earning enough money or being able to give the children the attention they crave top the list.  The research was commissioned by babycare company, NUK and Joanne Evans, their Head of marketing asserted that most of the ...

After Loretta’s inspiring New Year’s resolution post I thought I’d write a blog post that has been mulling around my head for months.  Loretta suggested some great things we should all do – take up a hobby; go to a spa; do some exercise.  In short, find some ‘me-time’, but where exactly do you find that precious time? I first thought ...

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 ...

So, who knew?  The love of all things chocolate is legitimately celebrated this week.  Excellent news in my book. Today is officially the start of Chocolate Week 2012 and it seems that there is a lot going in to help us get in the choco-love mood! I don't know about you, but I love chocolate.  I'm not sure I know many ...

You may have seen last week on our More than a Mum FB page that I posted the status : Today's Maths: 1 grumpy child with a cold + 1 tired Mummy = awful day... HOWEVER... 2 grumpy children with colds + 2 tired Mummies + 2 good lattes = enjoyable day.  Loretta and I (both fighting colds) spent the ...
