Resolutions Check-In: Doing Good in 2012
Yesterday was the 1st February. We are a whole month into the new year. How are you doing? Did you make some resolutions and/or goals for this year? I did. I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish in 2012 and under each one, I made an intention statement about how I would make it happen. I am proud to say that I am well on my way with one of them. My goal: In 2012, I will be much more outward...

Today on Facebook one of my childhood friends posted one of those ‘status update chain letters’ that are so popular these days.

It all...

Do You Pay Your Kids for Chores?
The kids were getting restless today, as were Chris and me. The house was a mess and no one wanted to pitch in and get it done. I saw the day slipping away and in a slightly desperate moment, I blurted out to my younger two, ‘OK kids, if you wipe down the (leather) sofa, I’ll give you 50p each.’ They looked at me for about a split second and couldn’t run fast enough to ask Daddy for...

How I Transformed a Cramped Office Into a Beautiful Work Space For Less Than £50
Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I’ve been a busy bee! A lot of things have happened since my last post: The girls participated in their first dance recital and I was a parent volunteer. (An amazing time was had by all.) My daughter received a Headmaster’s Award and school ended for the year for both girls. I went to London for a Christmas in July press event hosted by UKMums.tv and got...

How I Got My Mo-Jo Back with 22 Hairbands and 30 Handbags
Over the last few weeks I have been setting up a brand new gluten-free project with a good friend of mine. This has meant that I have been working flat-out and probably far too much. (I’m pretty sure getting to bed at 2am for weeks is a baaaaad thing…) As you might imagine, other parts of my life have taken a back seat and this weekend, I was feeling a bit worse for wear. OK, I’ll...

How To Blast Through the Monday Blues
It’s Monday morning. It’s gray and cloudy. It’s cold. You wouldn’t believe it, but I actually had a good morning. The kids got up on time and there was NO YELLING this morning. No pleading, begging, cajoling…It did not take two hours for the girls to eat their breakfast. They got dressed with no fuss. It was a CALM Monday-morning. (No, I am not describing a dream, this...

Mummy Bloggers, Mumpreneurs…Mum’s the Word (Or Not…)
I was on Twitter this morning and saw this tweet: It immediately resonated with me. I’ve heard the term ‘mumpreneur’ banded around the internet recently. I presume it means mothers who have their own businesses. If the truth be told, I don’t really understand the need for the term. Is ‘entrepreneur’ not good enough? Why is it necessary to add the additional label of...

No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake- Good Enough for a Prince
OK, so, this is the long awaited post all about….Chocolate. Biscuit. Cake. During the run up to the Royal Wedding, I received a tweet from Clarence House saying that Prince William had requested a chocolate groom’s cake. Not very original, you say? I thought so too, until I read that it’s was a NO-BAKE chocolate cake. Are you kidding me? THE PRINCE is having a refrigerator cake for his...
