Helping Mums Embrace Gentle Living & Easy Journaling

Are you a stress junkie or got your stress habit under control?

Radio show about stress

So last months LifeStyle feature with Radio Verulam and the lovely Dapper Danny Smith on his Drive Time show was all about stress. Sorry for the delay in posting it, my life has been a bit stressful!! The big question is, when should you do something about being stressed and when is it just normal […]

My ‘Healthy Eating For Rubbish Cooks’ has been featured in Woman and Home Magazine

Woman and Home Food Bloggers

Ok, so don’t choke on your coffee, but I’ve been picked as one of Woman and Home’s BEST FOOD BLOGS! Yes, I know that’s a bit ironic as I’m a rubbish cook. And I really hope the other foodies aren’t upset, as I know that food blogging is a serious thing in the UK! But […]

I’m in The Times … squeal!

Mummy Whisperer in The Times

Little Dimples and Curly Headed Boy are very unimpressed that Mummy is in a posh newspaper, but I’m chuffed and rather surprised that Mumsnet suggested me (thank you!). However, newspapers being what they are, The Times obviously only added the one sentence that worked for their story, so I thought I’d finish the story.   […]

I love the idea of being the best at something

augmented reality 3D book

It’s not that I’m ambitious; or maybe I am.  But I love the idea of being the best at something. I was always a ‘generalist’ at school.  A bit of a geek, good at everything, but not ‘the best’ at anything, so that’s probably where it comes from. I think this is why I love […]

How two young blokes larking around on the stage works

Andy Day and Mike James

A couple of years ago I went to see Andy Day (The tall skinny one with curly hair from cbeebies) and his mate Mike James in ‘The big box of bananas’, which Curly Headed Boy loved. So when we were invited to review their new show ‘The Tick Tock Time Machine’ I jumped at the […]

Don’t Cut The Easy Ones Mr Osborne, Cut The Right Ones

Don’t Cut The Easy Ones Mr Osborne, Cut The Right Ones

Today I’m not here! I’ve over at Britmums talking about Welfare cuts (if you haven’t read the story of Tamsyn Woods story of her fight for her husband, please do click over there) and how whilst we need to deal with this recession, we seem to be picking on the vulnerable and weak who can’t speak […]

What I really want is a cuppa and a chat!

What I really want is a cuppa and a chat!

  I loved going to Britmumslive where I learnt loads and went to the awards ceremony. The MAD Blog Awards was wonderful. We’ve even had a couple of blogging get togethers here in St Albans and the #BlogItForBabies event.   But there is something missing …. The chance to chat properly with people I’ve met […]

Am I a big fat loser?

What is success and failure

So I lost the bid to defend my title from last year in the Small Business Blog award for the Mums and Dads blogging awards *sad face*. Question is, does that make me a big fat loser? And therefore all the rest of the people who lost and all those who didn’t get to the […]

How to easily build a family budget that works and reduces your stress!

Now stay awake! Remember I told you in my previous post about why budgeting is fab, that having a budget will reduce your stress, improve your relationships and give you a better sex life? So now I’m going to give you some tips on how to build a budget, because it’s not always that obvious. […]

Is this potentially the best family festival in the UK?

Fairy

  This is a mammoth review of Just So Festival 2012, so hold onto your socks! Because I reviewed it last year and wrote a pre-post explaining all the different areas and my plans, I thought that this year I would do a quick interview with some other people and get their perspectives. They’ve all had […]
