Recent research has emerged which suggests that a happy childhood will lead to a healthier cardiovascular system in adulthood. Yes, you read that right - mums now have something else to feel worry and feel guilty about. The study, which was carried out in Finland, basically suggests that if you grew up in a perfect home, experienced a perfect childhood and went to sleep on a satin pillow every...

Shopping used to be a pursuit of pleasure. I could have spent days meandering around clothes stores, content to wait until that one perfect piece jumped out at me - but then I got married and had children. Shopping is now an activity which must be carried out with military precision if myself and/or the kids want to make it out alive. Lists are employed, rules are implemented and good humour is...

They don’t call them the ‘January blues’ for nothing: saying goodbye to friends, dealing with empty pockets, opening and closing bare cupboards, a constant grey sky and absolutely nothing to do. But surely that’s not all there is; there has to be a few good things about this month, right? Well, last night, I was determined to find something positive about this time of the year, and I...

Some people are lactose, some people are gluten, but me, I’m cringe-intolerant. I can’t shake off an embarrassing or awkward moment like other people can. I wear the humiliation like a rash for weeks, which is why I’m still seething with my daughter for her latest stunt. There’s nothing I loathe more than being put on the spot by my pre-teen girl in front of her friends. I don’t know how...

Did anyone else balk when they heard about the party that US dad, Jeff Lake, threw his teen daughter? If you’re not familiar with this story then let me fill you in on how 'totally awesome' this particular man is. *sigh* Dad-Of-The-Year Jeff thought it would be a stellar idea to throw his daughter a Playboy-themed, alcohol-laden celebration for her 18 th birthday and unfortunately just...

Isn't it bizarre that we call a child-free night out with our partners a 'date night'? But it's important, that night that we set aside for each other and only each other, with no small people or other people invited! It takes planning ahead - sometimes weeks - and lots of preparation. Out comes the wax, the fake tan, the new nail varnish and then the polishing and buffing begins...

Us mums are notorious for worrying, over-planning and fretting about the family when we deign to take a break away from work and domestic responsibilities. Endless lists are made and distributed, meals are cooked and frozen and demands that everything keeps ticking over followed by hurried promises to be back soon are uttered before we take a short break from our normal routine. And then, as we...

So there I was sitting on the loo (as you do) scrolling through Facebook (as you do) when it suddenly dawned on me - I was alone. Completely and utterly solo. For the first time I could recall in almost a decade, I had managed to do what a person normally does in a bathroom without a single interruption. There was no small person there demanding I intervene in a row, or pour a juice, or change the...

So it’s over. Did you make it through unscathed? It’s been a long time since Christmas fell in a way that resulted in a large portion of the working population having two full weeks’ holiday, just as it did in 2014 It seemed like a great scenario on the 19 th December - can you remember back that far? That was before you opened the first of many bottles of Glühwein; before you even started...

My seven-year-old tells me I am always going out and the last outing I can remember included Tesco and the bank! My son tells me I look lovely when I dress up for a rare event I need to attend and I suddenly realise how mundane I look every other day. My daughter asks me what time exactly I will be home and then says, “that’s ages!” as if I am asking her to fend for herself. I drag the bags...
