The Life and Trials of a School Mummy

Tuesday June 15th, 2010 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

SnugBoy#1 has almost completed his first year at school, and is doing stupendously well. He is very settled and enjoying both his lessons and the more social side of his academic career.

I’ve said before that I am an utter Daddy’s girl, so for Father’s Day here is a little story about my dad. When I went off to university, I hadn’t realised but my dad, being the sentimental old thing that he is, had written me a poem. I am not sure he even intended to [...]

As you may know, I went down to very sunny Birmingham yesterday morning (very early yesterday morning!) to go and help out/socialise on the Mumsclub stand at The Baby Show, promoting mums in business, and encouraging mums to think about starting their own business.

I had a lovely day on Tuesday. On Monday evening I had confirmation that a SnugBaby would be included in The Baby Show fashion show, so I was busily packing up the sling and bits and pieces to go with it, when I spotted a tweet from the lovely @MumsTheBoss, aimed at me, saying I [...]
