Posts about the summer
Don’t make the mistake of putting yourself last this summer! It’s so easy to do – and I have totally been there. But come September there are loads of mums who have put their health, happiness and businesses on hold and end up feeling frazzled, disgruntled and sad at the lack of happy memories. Don’t […]
A confess – I’ve been beating myself up loads for not quite achieving what I had wanted to achieve by now. Are you in the same place? Then please watch my video and do the exercise I mention below …. Sit down for 20-30mins and think about this year. Look through your diaries/schedules […]
It’s school summer fair season again! That means I’ve been approached by a LOT of schools in the surrounding area, for either adverts in their brochures or vouchers for their raffles. Realistically, the vouchers do not really help me with my business. I don’t get a lot of visibility from them and I don’t get a lot […]
Here are my Top Tips for finding things to do in the holidays to keep those kids of yours busy without breaking the bank! 1) The Library There is a summer challenge every year. This year is the ‘Creepy House Challenge‘ where the kids read 6 books by the end of the summer holidays […]
Life’s still hard with the recession and we all need some fun and adventure in our lives, so for this month’s Lifestyle feature over on Radio Verulam with the lovely Danny smith on his Drivetime show, I talked about festivals and camping.

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 […]
I’m so excited, because I’m off to review Just So Festival this weekend (In Cheshire at Rhode Hall: doors open at 2pm on Friday and we get kicked out of the campsite on Mon at 11). Last year was brilliant, but it was my first ever festival, so I had no idea what to expect. […]
Hmmm a Ferry and a mobile home? I wasn’t sure what I was going to think about that. I have fond memories of staying in a caravan in the South of France at about 5yrs old and it being a crazy fun holiday, so we decided to take a chance and accepted the offer to […]
Travelling with kids is generally considered a nightmare. The question is, which is less of a night mare; Ferries or Aeroplanes? I was really nervous of trying a Ferry out considering the disaster of the Costa Concordia and that last time that I went on a school trip and puked the whole way. I’ve had […]
