A vital part of being 'More than a Mum' and remembering that you are also a 'woman' is to safe guard and nurture your relationship with your partner.  A new report by the relationship charity OnePlusOne reveals this morning that nearly a quarter of parents in the UK are no longer with the partner they had their first child with. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today I read an article that stated that a 'good mother gene' determines how much effort you put in to raising your children.  Really? Now I am by no means saying that I am the world's best mum, in fact some days I feel like the worst! But, on the whole I don't think I do too bad a job and ...

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;  ...

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 - ...

A summary of the talk by Esther Newall on Attachment and Bonding at Ethical Mums coffee morning 24th May 2012.   To be completely in tune with your baby, understand their cries and be able to respond to them – this is what new mums often strive for, or expect of themselves.  This kind of ‘perfect bond’ is idealised in our society.  ...

On the 21st June we were invited to the launch of the pop-up Museum of Motherhood London, an event which took place, very appropriately, in the Museum of Childhood. The Museum of Motherhood London is the first of its kind in Europe. There is a whole museum dedicated to motherhood in NYC, but we in Europe seem to be behind ...
