When S was still very small and orange, and I was still very unsure of what this mothering lark was all about, a friend lent me her copy of Naomi Stadlen’s first book, What Mothers Do. I loved it and so I was delighted to receive a copy of How Read more…
Yesterday evening, S was watching Peppa Pig for the first time in a while. First of all she told me she wanted to go to the shop and get some glasses, and then she said she wanted us to have a yellow car. The glasses comment was easily remedied: she Read more…

It was a fantastic couple of days of meeting bloggers, chatting to brands and attending informative, interesting and inspiring talks and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I’ve been suffering lately with a terrible case of parental guilt. You see, I’m writing this from my hotel room at Brit Mums Live. I’ve left S overnight, for the second time in her life (the first time was for Brit Mums Live last year). I don’t necessarily feel guilty Read more…
I really love Ted Talks. I have the Ted app on my mobile, and watch talks while I do the washing up. I watch them on Netflix in the evenings (now that I’ve finished Orange Is The New Black). I find them informative and inspiring and challenging and often more entertaining Read more…
