Do you remember summer holidays way back when you couldn’t wait to get to the beach wearing your skimpiest bikini, ready to impress whoever looked your way? Nowadays, do you look upon family holidays with a pang of dread, wondering how much of yourself you can hide under your sarong, sun hat and layers of Factor 40?

Of course, I’m an absolute advocate of staying safe in the sun but my point here is all about having summer-ready confidence! For so many mums, the summer months, family holidays and heat tend to mean difficult clothing choices and frizzy hair! So, how can you...

When life is already hectic and your diary seems to be bursting with things to do and places to be, finding time for yourself may seem challenging! Yet, it is vital you start making time for yourself before your health and well-being starts to seriously suffer.

The first thing you must do is identify what it is you would like to do during your time-out. Or, to put it another way, what personal goals would you like to achieve now you’ve committed to making the time to fulfil your own needs?

Time for self-care can be spent doing anything that makes you feel happy, fulfils your needs and...

Life as a 21st Century mum can be challenging and exhausting as we try to fit as much into our lives as possible. Add to that the pressures we place on ourselves to do everything properly as well as the expectations we think others have of us, is it any wonder we struggle from time to time?

So many mums I meet have little time for themselves and, when they do get to enjoy some time out, it is considered an indulgence, leaving them feeling guilty for having time away from their family and ‘usual’ responsibilities. The issue for many mums is they don’t consider self-care to be a major priority yet it must be at the top of the list of these ‘normal’ duties!

Depriving yourself of vital self-care will have a dramatic and detrimental effect on your health and well-being. Emotionally, you will feel frustrated, resentful and under-valued, potentially...

So many mums disregard the importance of finding time for self-care and the benefits it can bring to their health and well-being. Yet, allowing yourself time to fulfil your own needs can be life-changing for you and it can have a positive impact on your children and others around you.

A mum can be defined as The Carer. You care for the health, education, development, success, shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses of your children. You care about the needs, happiness and worries of your partner. You care about the well-being of your extended family members. You care about the cleanliness...

Do you often feel that when it comes to getting your child or children involved in household chores, you might as well be pulling teeth! Here are some great ways to ensure your child understands the value and importance of working together as a team to help maintain a happy family life.

Encourage your child to get involved in cooperative tasks. Not only will this help them learn how to work together but it will also boost their self-esteem. Acknowledge the great job they are doing whether it’s making their beds each morning or helping a younger sibling to get dressed.
