Tuesday 8th September I was offered the opportunity to review a great website, Precious Parcels, owned by Natalie. She set up her business after becoming a mum, and spending some time making gorgeous plaques, which she first sold on Ebay. After her initial success there, she set up a website of her own, and the [...]

I have seen a few of these types of posts lately, and thought it might tell you a little more about me if I were to answer the questions (or maybe not, who knows?) This specific set of questions is shamelessly pinched from Muddling Along Mummy – hope she doesn’t mind! The only rule is [...]

On Friday, after a hard week at school, SnugBoy#1 brought  the class bear, Barney, home to stay for the weekend.

I have been nominated for awards! That’s right, plural! I am nominated for the Best Online Business award, and the Inspirational Business Mum award. I am quite excited, to say the least. Here’s what it’s all about… The Mumpreneur Awards recognise the achievements of our nation’s business mums, and inspire more women into business. The [...]
