Because you are more than just a mother, Mums and More 'meetings' were created to cater to your ‘other’ as well as to your issues and concerns surrounding motherhood and about raising happy and healthy children.

Alongside meetings focusing on relevant aspects of child development, such as toddler tantrums, bullying, and health and nutrition, Mums and More meetings are an opportunity for you to focus on you as an individual, as a woman, as someone who has an identity and interests outside of motherhood.

Mums and More is NOT:
-  a parenting course
- a moaning free-for-all about the kids
- a girlie get-together
- a WI meeting

Mums and More IS:
- an interest group with meetings which are intellectually stimulating,  informative, promote well-being, and will expose members to new ideas and thinking
- a supportive, fun, friendly, and vibrant community
- for women who are interested in exploring being more than just a mother, alongside their passion for raising happy and healthy children.

Find out here, for where and when your local meeting is held.

I look forward to seeing you there.

What will it take for you to look after yourself? What will it take for you to put yourself at the top of your list? What will it take for you to commit to your future?

Heavy questions. Heavy answers: a heart attack at 35 yrs old? Chronic fatigue? IBS? Migraines? Depression? Rage? Anxiety attacks? Chronic stress? Insomnia?

It is human nature to always push boundaries, to strive for more, to learn more and grow more so it comes as no surprise that just to be happy, doesn't seem to be what people want anymore. Not that we want to be unhappy either. The next quest in personal development is not for happiness, of the 'cheery demeanor' but a more rounded and complete sense of happy- in all facets of life; a sense of total well-being. But to put it in the more luscious terms of the father of 'positive psychology' Martin Seligman: we want to be 'flourishing'.

Can you be stressed and still have a very good work/life balance?  Do you think that if you have one, that automatically cancels the other?  It may be that you are very familiar with stress in your life and feel that your work/life balance suffers because of it. It may be that you feel your balance is tilted more to the stress side and you'd like things to even out a bit.

Whatever your current situation with stress and work/life balance at the moment, there are a few key elements we can understand to help keep the stress at bay and the balance, balanced.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. 

 ~Hugh Downs

This adage has been proven in so many circumstances and in so many research studies.
