Mother Love…
It would seem only right that today's blog is about Mother’s day. Mothers. The glue that binds everything together. When I thought about Mother’s day, I thought...oh joy. I might get some toast brought up to me in bed or perhaps a ten minute lie in. I think both [...]
Hands up for Strong Woman
Guilty Mother was delighted to be the opening guest speaker at Women’s Enterprise Kent event on 2nd March 2016, in partnership with Kent County Council. They offer a range of events for Kent businesswomen and I think this is incredibly useful and important for female business owners and start-ups. [...]
Parachute Pants
It’s official guilty mothers. Thongs are out and big pants are back. Don’t just take my word for it, in the UK the sales of thongs which soared through the Nineties to meet the demand for hipster jeans is now in the decline. M&S, which sells 60 million pairs [...]
The Art of Winging It
I recently posted a fun ‘winging it’ message on the Guilty Mother Facebook page and I was overwhelmed with the response. 1,489 likes, 24 comments and 542 shares. In fact the response was #mothermazing. Mothers (yes, that’s us) and when something is 'amazing'. I know what you’re thinking. Genius. [...]
‘Being in the moment’. Easier said than done?
I was recently reading on Mashable about an elderly woman who attended a red carpet event for the film Boston Black Mass. Normally with these kinds of events, everyone automatically pulls out their camera or smartphone to capture the moment in real time. Many people cannot wait to film [...]
Are Kids Parties getting out of control?
Yay! It’s your child’s birthday and a time to celebrate another special milestone. As loving parents it’s important to celebrate a child’s birthday but is there a little feeling that these parties are getting out of control? Don’t get me wrong, I have my hands up. I am to [...]
Has anyone seen my shoes?
After collecting the kids from late class at 4:30pm, we went straight from school to the local gym where my six-year-old daughter will have her swim lesson. I know swim lessons are important but my logical head tells me this is an impractical time for a lesson. The kids [...]
Do Mums Actually Sleep?
As days often seem to merge into each other, do you often wake and feel like you haven’t actually been to sleep? Did I actually sleep at all? I thought I had just nodded off. I often wake with a fuzzy head, dry eyes and a dull headache. Or [...]
Pants down for Security…
Guilty Mother followers. I salute you. Friday is here and I was so overjoyed to reach 1000+ followers on my Facebook page in just seven days, I wanted to post a funny blog to say thank you. Every time I reach another major milestone, I will post, what I [...]
Guilt Free Villa Holidays with Kids Club!
How do you choose the perfect family holiday set-up? If you choose a large hotel, you will have the benefit of (possibly) all inclusive, choice of restaurants, two or three pools plus; and most importantly, a good kids club, so you can enjoy a few sacred hours to yourselves. [...]
Roll on…Wet February
Ahh, new years’ resolutions. I am not entirely sure what happened, but after a major blow out of wine and cheese on a very jolly Christmas ski trip, I made the decision it was time for dry January. I have never done this before, nor do I believe in [...]
Facebook was bad for me, so I quit …for 30 days
Tap. Tap. Scroll, Scroll. Like. Scroll. Like. My poor little fingers are getting more exercise than any other body parts. I think my Facebook finger has a six pack by now. Please tell me I am not alone when I say that I find myself logging into my smartphone [...]
Guilty Mother Advice for Family Skiing
1. The best thing about family skiing holidays: There are not many sport activities I can think of that you can do as a family for a whole week. Skiing is one of those holidays where you can all be together on the mountain having fun every day. You’ll [...]
Not a Guilty Mother…
Guilty Mother readers. OK, let’s take a moment to define what the word guilt really means. ‘Guilt is caused by thinking that we have done something wrong. We think we have done something wrong because we judge ourselves or someone else judges us.’ This definition is very interesting as [...]
Yay! Guilt Free Family Skiing
Thinking of going skiing this winter? I've written about our amazing Christmas ski trip with friends. We count ourselves as being one of the lucky, (slightly smug) few who managed to get some snow this Christmas. My husband, who reads ‘Where to Ski and Snowboard’ pretty much every [...]
