Being a work at home mum is extremely difficult at times, but can fit in very nicely around your family. I started out quite laid back and worked whenever I had time, mostly in the evenings once my son was in bed. This suited us very well and didn?t encroach on family time. However, since the birth of our daughter six months ago it has tipped our whole world upside down and we?ve had …

I have quite an interest in small businesses, especially when they are run by parents, you can read about businesses like this in my mumpreneur series.
I’ve made my points about PR people contacting me with various promotions, and it isn’t the PR people themselves but their approach that has been the issue. On a more positive note I’ve had some great direct communications with small businesses with which I’ve done interviews and promotions with, like my recent relationship with Frugi.

Today I’m wondering if there is a sea of change in the world of work for mums.
A very rudimentary timeline;
Pre-1980′s (?) Mums stayed at home to look after children, whilst father earned the ‘daily bread’.
1980′s – Noughties Mums managed careers and family simultaneously. Supposedly ‘having it all’.
The Future
