About
Welcome to littlemummy.com.
Littlemummy.com is a blog about life, parenting and making a living. It is written by me, Erica Douglas. It is intended to be an archive of ideas, inspiration and discussion, readers can add their viewpoint via the comments button.
Why Littlemummy?
I named the site littlemummy simply because I am quite short (about 5ft 1inch), I wish it were more exciting than that, but I’m afraid it’s not.
Who is Littlemummy?
My ‘real’ name is Erica Douglas. I live just outside Edinburgh, Scotland with my daughter Erin, and my husband Alex.
Why should I read Littlemummy.com?
You’ll get lots of free ideas and inspiration and you can share your own ideas and wisdom with other mums. You’ll probably make some virtual friends and you’ll always have people to ask when it goes wrong and a place to brag when it goes right.
You can subscribe via RSS (How do I subscribe via RSS?)
or by email

Am a new stay at home mum and need to make friends,feel isolated at the moment.
I laughed when I read why you named your site littlemummy. I am 5’3″ but I feel much taller and have a big personality with the result most people think I am about 5’7″ and I do not wear high heels for fear of falling over…
Great site – your Chuggington Interactive review helped me decide on my son’s 3rd birthday present!
How on earth did you become a Toyologist?!
Mum2Bear – We were contacted via this blog! It’s been a lot of fun
Great blog. Useful reviews. I have those wellies too – except I desperately need fleecy liners.

Hi
My name is Theresa and I run a business called Mums and Business. http://www.mumsandbusiness.com.
I support ladies work out strategies that will make their life happier, planned, organised but most of all to be who they want to be.
I wanted to provide help and support for mums like myself who run a Family and a business. So I linked up with my business partner and we write articles and give support to mums and single dads to achieve the very best in their home life as well as their business.
We run workshops titled ‘Balancing business and babies’
However I a new to blogging.
This site looks like a great place to start.
Any tips and advise will be received with great thanks.
All the best. Theresa
