The Problem I received an email from a Mum a week or so ago that reminded me so much of what many of us feel at times in our lives: I feel like I’ve lost myself and really can’t do anything, be a good mum, work or even decorate our house which we moved in […]
I’ve got that typical Bristolian healthy pink cheek look, which along with my curly hair and mighty 5ft 4 1/2 inches, does have the tendency to make me look like a hobbit. The problem is that those pink cheeks can easily descend into Rosacea, especially in the early years when I didn’t know much about […]
The Lorax By Dr Seuss Last weekend I felt really chuffed because due to my blogging I was able to give the family a big treat. First we went to see the family premier of ‘The Lorax’ by Dr Seuss. I was unsure as I’ve never been convinced by Dr Seuss (I just don’t get […]
I’m sorry, I haven’t been here for a few days. ‘Where’ve you been?’ you might ask? Well I was over at Nickie’s place on the fabulous IAmTypecast blog discussing my predictions for the UK Mummy Blogging Community for 2012.

I’ve heard people talk about Probiotics for years. I bet you’ve seen them on the TV talking about yogurt that has this special stuff in it. You might even have heard of Prebiotics as something slightly different. The main thing I’d heard was that you should take them after antibiotics, but when I went to […]
I’m extra mega chuffed today. Last week I found out I’d been nominated for the BiBs (BritMums Brilliance In Blogging Awards) for ‘Inspire’ AND ‘Outstanding’; which are rather wonderful things to be nominated for. (vote here) Now I’ve found that I’m also nominated to defend my title as ‘Best Small Business Blogger’ in the MADs (Mum […]
