It’s Fathers’ Day today and in the few days leading up to it there have been some interesting reports released in relation to fathers and the way that they are perceived and the roles they take in their childrens’ lives.  Normally in this blog we focus on the representation of women and in particular Mums, but today we are looking ...

On Wednesday last week, Loretta and I headed out to meet the lovely Dina from Kensington Mums.  She was running an event for Mums intended to provide Mums with a space to discuss their perceptions of Motherhood and to collect footage for her Motherhood exhibition which takes place online and at Beaufort House, Chelsea on the 7th June. Loretta and I ...

We're now up to part 5 in our series about mums that have made money from their hobbies.  Today's post is provided by Chelle McCann from Social Sparkle... 1) What is your hobby? Blogging, tweeting - love anything social media 2) Was this a hobby you started when you became a mother or something you have always done? It started when I was ...

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.

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 ...

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.  ...

Anna-Marie Wayne is an actress, presenter and mother to two under fives.  With all that under her belt we thought she was more than worthy of a MTAM interview slot. It’s a really exciting summer for Anna-Marie as she is fronting a new-launch UK YouTube channel from Maker Studios - the brains behind hugely successful US network The Moms View - ...
