Looking for bloggers who run their own businesses…

We’re hosting BusinessPlusBaby‘s Business Mums’ Blog Carnival for September – if you’re a mumpreneur with a blog, you can submit your own favourite post of September to the carnival. We’re looking for posts that add value in some way, so maybe they inspire, inform or make us smile. It’s OK to talk a little about [...]



Hi Honey, we’re ho-o-ome…

Well – sort of. The children are still off, the uniform still has no name tags, the cupboards are bare and hair is still to be cut. But… the scary inbox has been glanced at, the 573 kind invites to ‘check her titties’, ‘add 2 inches to my size’ and exchange links with Wild Flowers [...]



We’re not here, we’ve…

(and walking and climbing and boating and playing and… everything else you do on holiday.)     Normal service will resume in a couple of weeks. Ish.  



Port Eliot winner!

Hurrah! We managed to raise £166 for the Joseph Salmon Trust, and in the process the (very lovely when I spoke to him!) Mr Adefope gets to take his family on a surprise weekend away in Cornwall. Win-win-win! Thank you so much to the original winner Claire from BeingAMummy for so sweetly offering up her [...]



Bid to Win Port Eliot Festival Family Pass

We recently ran a competition to win two family passes to the Port Eliot family festival (worth over £360). The oh-so-lovely Claire from www.beingamummy.co.uk was the winner of the Twitter comp, but sadly she can’t make the festival. Now, being oh-so-lovely as she is, she had a brainwave, and decided to donate the family pass [...]



Happy Birthday to ME :)

I’m not really here – I’m on my way to France, thanks to Monsieur KeyCamp, and heading into two weeks of jolly ‘olidays. But as Katy is In Charge, she’ll never remember to blog such a small thing as my birthday, so I thought I’d tell you all myself. Gifts, Champagne and Cake always welcomed [...]



We’re all going on a…

…summer-holiday-courtesy-of-KeyCamp doesn’t have quite the Cliff ring to it does it? But we are, next week, as the lovely people at KeyCamp have offered us a fine getaway. Now before we hear the bellows of disapproval at us going in term time, let me explain a thing or two… Almost exactly one year ago, my [...]



we do a lot of competitions…

… and give away a lot of prizes. Some big, some small, but all carefully sourced by us to be interesting and appealing. But we get very few lovely mails like this one… Just to let you know prize arrived today and my 6 year old daughter is having a whale of a time with [...]



Message for Small Businesses – yes, we’re talking to you…

(other readers may move along now, nothing pretty to see here at the moment…) We thought you might just fancy getting your hands on a copy of our newsletter especially for small businesses, which tells all of our latest news along with tips and advice from Clever and Useful People (there’s no need to be [...]



OMG! Keris!

Keris is one of our favourite reviewers (and the author of our brilliant Slopsville series last year, her week by week success-by-disaster weaning diary), so we are naturally excited that her first book is finally on the shelves. And just look – this (very excited) image taken just today in WH Smiths proves it! ‘Della [...]
