000 When there are so many hair removal treatments available, it becomes tricky to choose the right one. Well, most people get confused if they should go with the advanced laser treatment or other ones. Here, we are going to share how this new-age cosmetic treatment is different from other treatments. Let’s understand through the […]

000 Happiness is a strange thing at times. It’s something that should come to us all so easily, and yet, a lot of the time, it’s so difficult to acquire. Sometimes that feeling of sheer contentment hits us, and we wonder why we weren’t this way before. Then, without warning, it can leave us, and […]

000 A very long time ago I created an office at home for my business. Before I wrote this blog and started a career in digital publishing, I used to run a virtual assistance business, providing PA and marketing support to my clients. To be effective and provide a professional service, I needed some dedicated […]

000 Once you become a parent, everything changes, especially the way in which you see your house and home decor. In fact, while you still want everything to look decent, some of the most pressing concerns are that your home is both child-friendly and safe. A topic that you can read more about in the […]

000 Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all, asks the evil queen in Snow White. And, even though children shake their heads at the prospect of someone being so focused on their own beauty that they’d go as far as to poison potential competitors, when they grow up they can […]

000 Are you planning a family day out or two in Cambridge? The city might be famed for its historic University – but there’s plenty to see and do for little ones too. Whether you’re planning a midweek adventure in the school holidays or a weekend of fun, Cambridge is the place to be! Planning […]

000 It’s all very well and good treating the little ones over the summer. After all, they’ve earned their summer break as much as you have! But once they’ve had their fill of ice creams, day trips to the beach, a trip to a theme park and plenty of BBQs and picnics thrown in too […]

000 Everything has its time and throughout life we move from one immersive situation to another – each with its own challenges and happiness, until you find that all of a sudden you are in a new life stage. This is me now. When I started this blog ten years ago (Yes – TEN! I […]

000 A kid’s birthday party can be hectic to plan sometimes. Organising the theme, sending out the invites and choosing the children’s fancy dress costumes can all become potential headaches if not planned properly. With many options available, you should try the variety and make the party as colourful and happening as possible. Make sure […]

000 It’s almost Christmas – a time of year when our figures are toward the back of our minds as we look forward to festive food, booze and a more relaxed state of being for a few days! But I’ve recently been trying out So Shape – a company who provides easy, quick and tasty […]

001 There’s a saying, ‘keeping mum’. It means not saying anything, staying silent. I thought it was apt as I have been keeping mum on this blog lately. What was once a several times a week posting schedule has been slowly getting longer between updates, and I haven’t had the headspace to be able to […]

001 I have certain holiday must haves – from my noise cancelling headphones for the plane to a small bottle of concentrated squash for my son who dislikes fizzy drinks and fruit juices, but when I really thought about my absolute essentials – what must be present without fail to have the BEST HOLIDAY EVER, […]

001 This blog post is my entry to the Mark Warner Blogger Ambassador Programme For the 4th year running, the holiday company Mark Warner is inviting UK based parent bloggers to apply for their Family Ambassador Programme, and become a #MarkWarnerMum or #MarkWarnerDad! As you can imagine, competition for the five coveted spots is fierce, […]

001 I can’t get the Youngblood soundtrack out of my head for some reason! I don’t know why but something recently must have triggered an old memory and now my brain is playing “Stand in the Fire” along with the rest of the movie trailer from this 1986 film. I went to YouTube to find […]

001 When my kids were pre-school age I would have loved to go to the gym but young kids and time for yourself to exercise don’t always match up. I did buy a sturdy buggy with good suspension that enabled me to go running with the baby along for the ride, but I could never […]

001 When I started blogging seven years ago, no-one knew what it was or why I was doing it! These days people ‘get’ blogs more but they don’t always realise what it is like behind the scenes, so I thought it’d be fun to show some real ‘behind the screen‘ shots to show what the […]

001 Mum = boss. Da boss woman, the ninja, the juggler and doer of all family things. Curator of the finely tuned juggle that is keeping everyone fed, watered, transported, safe and loved. Mums juggle – fact. We are damn good at it – fact! So I wanted to celebrate the sheer awesomeness that is […]

001 “Come as you are Don’t bring your airs and graces Just your open, welcome faces Take a seat, stay awhile Share your heart, share a smile You’re welcome to be who you are And join my friends from near and far The only rule is this And it could be hit or miss But […]

001 It’s been seven years…. seven! Seven years since I was at home with my second baby, trawling the internet for company, inspiration and a way to express myself. Seven years since I saw the American bloggers talking about their lives online and providing a fun insight into who they were and what they did. […]

001 Broadband: The right to wi-fi? There’s a scene in one of my favourite movies, ‘This is 40’ where the parents say they don’t spend enough time together as a family so they’re going to “get rid of the wi-fi” and have a hard line in the kitchen that will be allowed daily from 8- […]

002 Several years ago I applied to be a contestant on Deal or No Deal. They didn’t want me (*boohoo!*) however one thing I remember from filling in the application form was a question: if you could have any dream job in the world what would it be? I think I said ‘Victoria Beckham’s personal […]

001 Did you know that I’m a record breaking mummy? Last weekend at BritMums Live, myself and the 599 other bloggers who attended are all record breakers after completing and winning the Guinness World Record Attempt for ‘most number of mummies wrapped in 3 minutes!’ It looks like the apocalypse! Sounds random but as a […]

000 Love is… Being married for 16 years today. Sharing our lives together for a quarter of a century. Producing two beautiful, smart, talented children – the best thing we ever did. Laughing at the same things. Being brought a cup of tea in bed each morning before work (me). Having your dinner on the […]

000 I’ve been married to my diamond geezer for 16 years which I can’t quite believe, especially as I don’t feel old enough to have been married that long. (I’m 40!) When we got engaged, we were living in a one bedroom flat in London and didn’t have much money, so although we wanted a […]
