I’ve been so excited this week about winning the Business Start Up Award (yes, I won!) at the Business Mum Awards that I completely forgot about number 46 on my 100 things list!
So to fill you in last monday I headed down to Birmingham on the train (no direct flights from Edinburgh), well more accurately it was three trains. I was planning to be super productive on the train and write my 2500 word essay for Uni, all I managed was far too many tweets. The lovely Tara …

Guest post by Emma – Reflection on my school days now I’m a mum at the school gate. Has anything really changed?
I wish, or do I?
I was never cool enough for school, well not for the social aspects of school. I liked school, liked learning, loved reading, adored maths problems, hated PE; getting the picture yet?
I was NOT a cool kid, I wasn’t even an acceptable kid; I was the geek, the swot, the teachers pet and I was excluded and bullied mercilessly for it.
I dreaded play times when …

Being a work at home mum is extremely difficult at times, but can fit in very nicely around your family.

However, since the birth of our daughter six months ago it has tipped our whole world upside down and we?ve had …

For me, one of the many small joys of pregnancy was the excuse to buy more books! I wanted, I needed, all the information I could get. After asking for recommendations, scouring the shops and reading five-star reviews on Amazon, I had quite a library. Here are the five books I couldn?t have done without.
1: The Pregnant Woman?s Comfort Book
My copy is literally falling apart, I referred to it so many times. It’s about self-nurturing and may be a bit too touchy-feely for some, but I found …

Hello littlemummy fans and welcome to my ‘intro’ post. Being an avid follower of Erica’s blog I was thrilled to be asked to join the new team of guest writers so here is a little bit about me and what I do.
My name is Julie Gibson and I live in Somerset with my hubby and my 7 year old son. I am an avid reader, blogger and maker of lists but my true passion is baking. I learned to bake as a small child with my Nan who was a …

Back in the day, when I was a mere teen (think bad perm and cheap cider to a background of Snap?s Rhythm is a Dancer), I was properly hard core when it came to fairground rides. The town I live in has a huge annual fair, and in my prime I had been on pretty much every ride going. Upside down, round and round, miles in the air, I could take it all.

I have a particular memory of the fair one year when I was 15 years old. I was …

I’m Kizzy, 30, mummy to three strong-willed and energetic children 10, 5 and 2, wife to 1, mobile beauty therapist, blogger and mumpreneur! I love good food, a small amount of wine and a good gossip!
I have been in the beauty industry for over 12 years and recently restarted my mobile beauty therapy business. I love beauty and enjoy helping people relax and feel comfortable with themselves. Beauty is more than just looking good and I think a lot of people just see the superficial side to it but …

On 27th March this year, the Office for National Statistics (in England and Wales) will collect approximately 30 pages of information about you and your home which will then be collated and analysed to determine how Government funds will be allocated across the country. This will also be done in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Yes, I know, what a dull way to open a post! But I’m not going to go into detail about the Census and its importance for Government …

Over at my blog I?ve been compiling a series of posts about Ulcerative Colitis and the many complementary therapies I?ve tried over the years and my journey with it so far. One such therapy I became involved in is Reiki.
I?d been to a psychic one day at a craft fair, and she?d told me I had healing hands. I didn?t pay too much attention to her to be honest, but something did click in my head and I ended up thinking, well what if I …
