Pregnant? – Win a stem cell collection and storage package with the UK’s largest Stem Cell Bank worth over £2000

Stem cells are fast becoming the future of medicine, a way to fight disease and to repair damage in the human body. I’ve believed in their potential for a long time and have stem cells from umbilical cord blood of my eldest already stored, a no-brainer for me. In fact, it’s an insurance policy for both him and his brother and to a lesser extent, even myself and my husband. By storing stem cells from cord blood, you are giving your family the possibility of fighting future disease. Continue Reading

Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited along to the UK launch of Mothercare’s long-awaited App and what a pleasure it was. Hosted, by the too-yummy-for-mummy Myeleene Klass at the swanky Charlotte Street Hotel.  I would have been foolish to turn down the invite. That said, me being one of the 74% of mums who ‘agree that they would be lost without their smartphones’,  I am always interested in the technology arena, especially if it’s more than a simple shopping opportunity!

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah. I have a baby starting to cry in the background, well, I did. He is now in his Baby Bjorn bouncer and is being ‘good’ for the minute and I mean the ‘minute’!
It’s been a while again and I’m so sorry but it does just go to show how a newborn baby takes over your life. He is gorgeous though. Even if I do say so myself! Any minute now…..no, he’s still quiet. Quick, quick, type more quickly! Ok, hubby returned, I have some respite but that doesn’t mean a long post. Oh, no! It means I might have a few more minutes to do something else like have a bath, brush my teeth, go to the toilet. Motherhood is HARD! Nobody tells you. You wonder how these teenage mums on council estates cope (bet that will get a few people going). I’m an extremely capable woman and I’m just hanging on to my sanity. It is getting easier though. After nearly weekly visits to the GP (got to be done with a firstborn!), a circumcision, a frenotomy (tongue-tie release), a visit to A&E for a rash (sent by GP no less-turned out to be viral and went within 48 hours) we’ve had it all. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH though, of course. Who wouldn’t.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to one and all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
