    Help Your Kids Make Friends Without Talking About It

    November 10, 2016 /

    Learning how to make friends is something all children go through as part of their development. But not all children get the cues that another child wants to make friends. No parents want to see their children grow up without friends, so it’s natural to make an effort to help them along. Here are ways to help your kids make friends. As a general rule, the worst thing a parent can do in this situation is to talk about it openly. It’s rare that starting a conversation about their children’s lack of friends or pressuring their children to make a change will help shy or reluctant children. Here are some…

    Nursery education campaign – Save the Children

    November 1, 2016 /

    What does nursery education mean to you? What did your little one learn at nursery today? I am supporting Save the Children’s nursery education campaign. I remember nursery as a really positive thing personally. I had this great teacher called Miss Bun who had the hairstyle to match. Mum got a break and I learned new things. That was in the days when you did not need to worry about paying for nursery education. When my parents were unable to care for my son any longer due to caring for a poorly relative, I found a brilliant Montessori nursery. I loved the approach to learning and how they worked to…

    Celebrity Mom fun quiz – who are you like?

    March 1, 2016 /

    Celebrity moms are always in the news and some of us aspire to be more like them. Which celebrity mom are you most like? Mums are individuals so some will want to follow a certain style icon whilst others will be inspired by celebrity moms who campaign for good causes. Do you admire a particular celebrity mom. With Mothering Sunday just a few days away, I wanted to let you know about fun quiz from My Voucher Codes. Looking at the photographs of moms on the quiz, I spotted Katie Holmes who is of course desperate to be just like me, her namesake. Are you most like Madonna, Victoria Beckham…

    Olverum Bath Oil review – the ultimate in pampering

    February 24, 2016 /

    Olverum bath oil helped to improve my day. So without further ado, here is my Olverum Bath Oil review. I was feeling a little under the weather and lethargic. The cold temperatures are getting me down a bit as this Winter seems to be going on and on. Where is Spring? This afternoon I decided I would cheer myself up with a restorative bath. I am a big fan of baths. Over the years of parenting, I have got into the habit of not taking those long ones of yesteryear with a book in hand and candles to help me relax In fact, I visited my brother and had a…

    How to be a confident parent at last

    December 8, 2015 /

    Are you a confident parent? When did that feeling kick in? Taking a new baby home is a milestone in itself. I remember the lovely outfit I had bought for my son whilst pregnant being way too big when it came to the time to put him in his car seat for the first time. Car seats can be a challenge too for sure! I am the first to admit I was not the most confident new mum having not spent any time around babies before. My husband who had children from previous relationships seemed to know how to do things so much better than I did. The first nappy…

    What is life after depression like?

    November 12, 2015 /

    What is life after depression like? I am becoming increasingly aware and joyful at how differently I find things now the black clouds of depression have disappeared. 1. Life after depression means I don’t mind the house not being clinically perfect. I don’t have the housework skills to make this happen or perhaps I do but not when a husband, children and animals are around. It does not matter. However, it did and it hurt me so much that I could not meet the standards either of myself or others. I always did housework every day but could only see what was not right. Now I focus on what I…

    I am delighted to interview Sarah today who is supporting a child with diabetes. She is a woman who juggles work, teaching, parenting, travel and blogging with aplomb. She shares a powerful story of a mum coming to terms with her son’s type 1 diabetes. What is the striking story you have to share? This is so hard as I don’t see myself as striking. I think it has to be supporting our family through Jack’s diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. It of course came out of the blue and rocked our world. We stayed strong and fought it together. What were the joys that this experience brought your way?…

    Do you pursue your dreams? What would happen if you took that brave leap of faith? Photographer mum Anna shares her story of finding the right balance for her after initially giving up on her dream to be a freelancer. What is the striking story you have to share? Since I started doing photography seriously at the age of 16 I always wanted to be a freelance photographer. I studied photography at university and got a job working as a studio assistant. However, the long, unsociable hours that were incompatible with having any family life and the financial uncertainty made me feel unsure about making freelance photography my career. I…

    Breastfeeding and IQ research study

    March 18, 2015 /

    Have you heard that a long-term study has pointed to a link between breastfeeding and intelligence? Is there really a link between breastfeeding and IQ? The research in Brazil published in The Lancet Global Health traced nearly 3,500 babies and found those who had been breastfed for longer went on to score higher on IQ tests as adults. I am not against research but sometimes I wish they would tell us why they are researching something in the first place together with who is funding the research and the gender balance in who is coming up with the conclusions. Day in and day out, mums wake up to these sort…
