Getting enough sleep is crucial to our well being: it helps reduce stress, increases productivity and attention, as well as helping us maintain a good immune system and even increase life expectancy. Despite this many of us don’t get enough hours or quality sleep. So what can we do? Some people go to their doctor looking for sleeping pills. But this isn’t the answer. Studies have shown that...

We don't often realise how much we use our backs until pain appears; back pain can severely impact on quality of life making it difficult to move, bend, dress cough, sneeze or even laugh. In 2010, it was estimated that 395,000 adults had experienced back pain in the previous 12 months. 27% of those who claim income support do so for back pain. It occurs most commonly in those aged 30 to 50 and...

Between Mother's Day and International Women's Day, it's been a massive week for us and the fellow ladies in our lives. Unsurprisingly, like many others I'm sure, those two particular days got me thinking about the women who have helped me navigate the highs and lows of my story thus far. And while there are dozens who have helped to shape me into the woman and mother I am today...

Like Dusty Springfield once sang: "I Just Don’t Know What to do With Myself" , I find myself like that whenever my daughter and hubby go away together. Which is very very rare. Or even if I have a full day on my own, what did I do before I became a mum? The other day I spoke to a new mum on my radio show. Her baby had just turned nine months and she was off for a pampering girly night away...

It’s International Women’s Day today, and what better time to celebrate being a woman? There’s enough statistics, inequality and gender imbalance to give us women something to shout about, but instead of focusing on the negatives, we wanted to take today to focus on all the positives that come with being a woman. 1. We are better listeners Women tend to have a better approach to expanding...

I did it this morning. The Weetabix had it coming but still what kind of example am I to Littleboy3 and Littleboy6? You could say the carry on of Littleboy3 and 6 started it all, but still. In my defense there's the hormones raging through me from Bump14weeks. Not helped by horrific tonsillitis and disgusting flu. But really couldn't it have been anything but Weetabix? Any child will tell you...

Tarring all mothers with the same brush is a fool's game because just like fathers, brothers,sisters, aunts and uncles, we all have a dfferent approach to our role. Some mums are hands-on, some are helicopter mothers and some are much more reserved, but I think it's fair to say the vast majority of us in a relationship stand firm on the following and abhor being asked a certain question on...

When I was growing up, I remember constantly being sent to the neighbours to borrow a jug of milk or return a cup of sugar – errands I would never even consider asking my children to do these days. Things were different back then; neighbourhoods were more close-knit and residents were much more involved in each other's lives. It was nothing to spend half the day in a neighbour's house...

Spoiler alert: I'm ending on a cliffhanger this month... I think this story and the one I want to tell next time are natural companions, but I want to give both the time and space they deserve. On with the show. AJ surprised me last week. It was coming up on dinner time and I was staring into the fridge trying to see if I could figure out some form of telekenesis that would have dinner make...

Parents are often much maligned for over-sharing their family life on social media. Some share the highlights - the foreign holiday with glowing tan lines, little darlings playing tea-parties with teddies, the autumn walk through the park. Some go for the warts and all - little Johnny coated in poster paint after an over-enthusiastic bout of finger-painting. I’m guilty of sharing both such type...
