Where did my waist go? Did it scarper, like my cat, once the kids arrived? And why, when I say I’m living it large, am I referring to my butt. I know there is no quick fix and as a parent I should be leading by example. Showing my kids that sport is exciting,...
My mum met the Queen outside Bedford Central Library once. Taken by surprise while holding a sandwich, she flicked tomato pips onto Her Majesty’s patent leather shoe. Now, what can you say to that? “Ketchup Betty?” (…. too much time with toddlers, you think????) Anyway, you’re not the usual hoi polloi we...
Talking and eating. Probably our kids’ two favourite things to do in life. Sometimes both at the same time. So we have been a little bewildered that so few mums and dads have linked up posts on these topics. Could be linky fatigue. Could be that not enough people know about Parentonomy yet (we’ll...
of our Mother and Child goody bag is (drum roll please) …… Kathleen from Nottingham. But don’t feel too disheartened as Mother and Child is available on DVD and on Blu-Ray from HMV, Asda and Sainsburys from today, 9 April or from vivaverve.com. Now where did I put my hankies …. Tweet
Looking back, I had so many clear ideas about being a mother. Didn’t you? Then my children arrived. And they had very clear ideas too. Now, all that I know is that the bond between mother and child may be primal, but it is far from simple which is both the premise and the...
Senora Guzman, @mamigz, is the winner of the refreshing read Stories of Motherhood for Mother’s Day. As a fan of Maya Angelou, Senora Guzman will definitely find the stories emotive and thought provoking. At the very least, they’ll be a blessed relief from the (admittedly cute but not after the tenth time… ) Gruffalo stories....
Not at the Oscars! Analysis of Oscar acceptance speeches has shown that Meryl Streep got more mentions than God in the last ten years. But 28 out of 39 Oscar winners thanked their families. And their mums in particular. So we’re delighted that Warner Bros has got in touch to help us thank our...
Chocolate. Need we say more? With Mother’s Day less than a fortnight away, you can’t go far wrong with a box of tasty treats. And they don’t come much tastier than LINDT truffles *wipes drool from keyboard* So guess how lucky we felt when those lovely Master Chocolatiers (surely the Willy Wonkas of our...
Motherhood … now I could tell you a few stories. But fortunately, dear friends, far better writers than I have got there first. Diana Secker Tesdell has selected and edited a wonderful selection of short stories. Featuring great authors like Amy Tan, Alice Munro, Barbara Kingsolver, Willa Cather and Colm Toibin, Stories of Motherhood...
We’ve written in the past about Beko Mum’s United, an online community helping mums (and families) to have fun through football. Recently they got in touch to tell us the inspirational story of six year-old striker, Aidan Smith, who has convinced family and friends to sponsor every goal he scores this season, to raise...
