Seven Books I Haven’t Read Since Becoming A Mum

notanothermummyblog — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:55:38 +0000

My name is Alison Perry and I haven’t read a whole book since becoming a mum. This wouldn’t be so bad if I was a mum to a three month old, or even a nine month old. But I am, in fact, a mum to a two-and-a-half-year-old. I haven’t read a whole book in two [...]

The Secret Reason I’m Obsessed With Pinterest

Back in April, I had a meeting with Lauren Michaels from Pinterest. She’d come over from Pinterest HQ in San Francisco with a team of others, to meet with UK bloggers. When she contacted me, asking to meet with her, my inner geek exploded. It was fascinating to meet Lauren. She was super nice and [...]

30 Things My Toddler Refuses To Do

notanothermummyblog — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 05:59:04 +0000

It’s a DAILY BATTLE. No, not between good and evil, but between parent and toddler. Our toddler – and I imagine every single toddler who ever toddled – just loves to say “no”. The things she says no to? They’re not consistent. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to her refusals. It’s [...]

WIN A Personalised Mug For Fathers’ Day

Is it just me, or has Fathers’ Day crept up, out of nowhere this year? I’m usually so organised with some carefully planned gift, like a photo book or a personalised leather travel card wallet. This year (oh, it’s on 16th June, in case you hadn’t realised) I’m going to be looking around online for [...]

On-Trend Maternity Clothes: 50 Amazing Buys

notanothermummyblog — Fri, 31 May 2013 19:37:21 +0000

When you’re pregnant, dressing can be a bit of a nightmare. Do you just wear your normal clothes for as long as you can? Buy slightly bigger sizes in loose-fitting styles? Or embrace the whole thing and buy lots of maternity clothes? It totally depends on your body shape and what you can get away [...]

10 Child-Friendly Holidays That Look Amazing

notanothermummyblog — Tue, 28 May 2013 05:58:49 +0000

Child-friendly holidays? I’m obsessed. I make no secret of the fact that I love holidays in general. I’ve always been a fan of a posh hotel and I can’t get enough of a mini break. But since becoming a mum, the criteria I look for in a break has changed (ever so slightly). Before, the [...]

Why Music Is So Important For Babies And Young Kids

notanothermummyblog — Fri, 24 May 2013 21:20:05 +0000

From around the time my daughter was seven weeks old, I took her to weekly music and sensory classes. I’m always singing to her, and encouraging her to sing. Watching her make the ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ hand movements as a nine-month-old was one of the loveliest mum moments ever. Music is so important to babies and [...]

The Never Ending Quest To Find The Perfect Jeans

notanothermummyblog — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:58:30 +0000

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? No, not being a parent (yes, that’s knackering too) but what I’m talking about here is finding the perfect pair of jeans. I don’t know anyone who enjoys going shopping for jeans. It’s such a depressing experience. It seems like it doesn’t matter what your body shape is, you have to [...]

Are Micro Scooters Really Worth The Money?

notanothermummyblog — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:40:02 +0000

Every weekend, when we visit the local park, I can’t believe how many scooters we see. They’re everywhere! Our park even has a couple of little scooter stands where kids can park their scooters while they play. When our daughter turned two, we suggested to one set of grandparents that they might want to get her [...]
