YUMMY MUMMY I Christmas Cheer: Non-Alcoholic Mulled Wine Alternatives When Pregnant and Breastfeeding

PrevNext
Coming up to Christmas, I usually like to spend much of December eating mince pies and drinking mulled wine with friends. However still breastfeeding my 11 month old , I am not drinking any alcohol, which makes Christmas just a little less merry than it should be! So, to try to keep spirits high with Xmas Cheer, I thought I would test out...

HIP MUMMAS | Getting my sexy back - thank you M&S

PrevNext
I wrote recently about the back-to-work wardrobe I was planning, inspired by watching Suits on TV. But despite much careful planning and plenty of dithering over what to wear every morning, I've still somehow managed to feel pretty mumsy most of the time.  The women and girls I work with (yes there are both species) are for the most part very stylish and...

GLUM MUMS | Pesky Hairs

PrevNext
ECome forth hairy chinned mothers, or forever hold your whisker peace. For many years I've watched and observed my mum plucking away at her Worzel Gummage-esque chin hairs, thinking gawd all mighty don't ever let me get like that. But on falling pregnant my once fluffy blonde chin hairs now seem to be reminiscent of black wiry cat whiskers.  Ok, probably not that...

HOT MUMMAS | Getting my caveman hair under control

PrevNext
Early on during my maternity leave I posted about the wonder of discovering that 2-in-1 shampoo conditioner is actually ok for my hair, and especially great considering how little time I had to actually have a shower. And it was great, up until about a month ago. But almost overnight my hair just started getting dry and fuzzy and looking generally shite. As it...

GLUM MUMS | Why I know being a working mum is (hopefully) right for me

I start back at work today and I'm mostly excited but it's really hit me how different life will be. On Friday Lucy had her second settling in session at nursery which she took to really well. She didn't even cry when I left! So I'm both relieved and slightly upset about that. Leaving Lucy at nursery is going to be tough, but I...

Our water is normally fluoridated and fluoride is contained within many toothpastes. There has been much discussion recently about the dangers of fluoride. However, the NHS says that fluoride actually protects teeth in the following way: "Fluoride disrupts the process of tooth decay by: changing the structure of developing enamel, making it more resistant to acid attack - these structural changes occur if...
