Helping Mums Enjoy Being A Mum & Feel Happier, Healthier & Wealthier

Adventure

Mums can have adventure too!

Mums can have adventure too!As part of my mid-life crisis I decided that my life needed not just more ‘sparkle’ but more adventure too!

Obviously the recession hit, plus I have 2 kids and a husband, so there might be a few practicalities to take into account.

I also wasn’t the most adventurous in the past!

However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t have a few adventures now and share them with you; then we can all become adventurers!!

So check here for ideas on how to get more fun and adventure in your life and let me know which ones you try!
