It started out as something really easy so how did it all become so difficult? A few weeks ago, after months if not years of procrastination, I felt I ready to write my first script. I was hoping it would be a comedy but it’s really a drama. In fact the process has become a [...]

We all have been hearing the updates throughout the Monsoon floods in Pakistan and we can make a difference. Just post this on your twitter feed and ask for a retweet – we’ve had a few already and word is spreading #bloggersforpakistan raise money for flood disaster & donate to DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) here [...]

My gallery contribution is inspired by one of the most wistful books I ever read.   It’s by Antoine de St Exupéry and called The Little Prince (or Le Petit Prince to those of you who have read it in French). For those of you who know the book you might find this picture resonates [...]

I went to see Eclipse; in fact I was lucky enough to be at the London gala premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square. I fell in love with the whole Twilight saga and swiftly caught up on the other two movies from the series. Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart are the new Johnny Depp and [...]

We’re a bit cheeky at times so when I was asked if we wanted to meet Lane Merrifield, the founder of Club Penguin this week, I thought, No, I don’t but I know someone who does, and that someone being my daughter, I asked if it would be possible for her to interview him. And [...]

I have to say the word Cybermummy has raised a few eyebrows as I’ve chucked it around for the last few months – it’s made me giggle a bit to be frank. I confess that on occasion, I’ve imagined giant Michelin Man style Dr Who baddies crafted in metallic silver suits with high pitched voices [...]

Isn’t travel great – it broadens the mind, challenges the palate and gives life new meanings and for me and my daughter, in more way than one. We’ve just returned from France. Learning to speak like a local has been part of the journey, well, supposedly it has. In fact, it’s been more of a [...]

This magazine wants everyone single one of us lovely ladies to get involved with it and is calling on all women – whatever your size, shape, height, or age to join in. When I posted about this on my facebook page, a friend of mine piped up ‘What do you mean? Real women? That’s a [...]

Motherhood to be is all made worthwhile by the shared laughter that comes with it. What I love about these photos is that they make me laugh every time I look at them. Much as you think it would be Christmas day, this was one of the year’s that Miniminx had spent Christmas at her [...]

The World Cup-silly-season has arrived it seems and with it a ‘Lock up your daughters’ scare story. We are going to hear more about early onset puberty and as parents it’s something that’s going to worry us all. I urge you to do your own research; speak to your doctor, look at trusted sources and [...]

There are over 250 elephants around London at the moment which means if you are taking your camera out with you, you are more than likely to snap something on the fly. I’ve have taken lots of shots out of cabs. Including this fun looking Polo Elephant and these two around the Albert Memorial at [...]

I’ve watched two teen dramas this week and I’m stunned at the issues they’ve both managed to pack into the hour long slot they occupy. I found Skins ruthlessly gritty and with it’s smattering of precocious post adolescent sexuality, perhaps a little too gratuitous. In fact, scrub that, nihilistic. Gritty dramas like Shameless have humour [...]

Funnily enough these images are both taken in Ibiza. The first is on a yoga retreat which was brilliant and a month later I started my blog. I use this image for my screen saver on my laptop because it’s so calming. It’s a shame it doesn’t look so good against the page colour but [...]

Summer in England is amazing; but only if it actually happens. So this weekend has put it into gear full throttle.

I don’t have to shiver in the morning. I can remember what it’s like to go on holiday. I have tan lines again. This is wonderful. The world is happy.

If you’re a blogger there are some things you should know about how brands view you…and not just in travel either. Your blog can make for a rich and rewarding experience through the communities you engage with which will without any doubt include brands.

And what makes me so qualified to write this post? I’ve been a corporate blogger for over four years and a parenting and lifestyle blogger for nearly two. My advice is for bloggers who are finding themselves approached by brands, pr agencies, digital agencies and advertising agencies who are all trying to get a piece of this new blogging bubble.

Do anti cellulite creams work? You need to use it for one month morning and night and apply it from the ankles up to the waistline. It smells exotic and contains caffeine, menthol, camphor and salicylic acid plus ginseng and biloba. On first application, I was expecting to be glooped but the serum-like gel dries quickly and the tingling sensations do last a while.

Now I still haven’t learned how to post this into the side bar but it’s obviously not going to work on this template anyhow, but for all that, here’s my Tots100 badge. Well done to all the new blogs too, seems there are oodles these days! x

Is election fever winding you up? Has the last four weeks been a white knuckle ride or has your blood pressure risen on sight of certain politicians? I admit it, the whole thing has been for me and I’m glad I’ve voted. I grew up in a very political household. My very Conservative Mother believed [...]
