A description of my site

Today my son put me on something of a guilt-trip. After seeing a photo of my husband and I, he declared: "that must be a really old photo mum! How old were you then?""Why must it be old?" I asked."Because you look so much younger on that photo, Mum! You weren't fat then..." What?? Fat?? The photo was only taken four years ago, and surely...

My sister-in-law has a lemon tree growing in her garden, and has taught me some wonderful things you can do with lemons around the home:For washing up, fill the bowl with hot water, a dash of soap-powder and half a lemon. Wash in this solution and rinse with clean water. This will clean the dishes much better than any branded washing-up...

I found some truly great household hints, tips and tricks on the Rocks in my Dryer blog! There's everything from keeping your car "child-proof" (or rather, clean!) to how best to cope with a tornado! The author actively encourages other bloggers to contribute to her list, and has dozens of reader contributions! So many great ideas for busy...

It would be nigh on impossible for me to write this blog without mentioning my favorite TV programme: Desperate Housewives!Here in the UK, we're being treated to the third series of the show now, and what fun it's been! The children now understand that they simply MUST be settled in their beds by 10pm on wednesdays, even my young daughter...

Of course I want to promote my blog! Who doesn't? Well, after reading Seth's guide to increasing blog traffic, I realised that "social bookmarking" is one way to help me gain more readers.Adding links in the sidebar of my Blogger blog was simple enough, but I also wanted to have a bookmarklet link at the end of every post, and had many troubles...

I love high heeled shoes. Always have and always will. They make me feel more feminine and do wonders to lengthen my legs!So I found it strange when my sister confessed that she doesn't wear heels because she can't walk in them...I learnt the art of "high heel walking" the hard way: trial and error, many blunders and sore toes! But there...

I imagine every mum encounters "the nit problem" at least once. I say "at least" because I have made the unfortunate discovery that once the little buggers land, they are extremely difficult to be rid of!For nigh on three months now, we've been trying to get rid of them. So far, nothing has really worked, and I've tried everything from chemical...

Like many new bloggers, I have the uncontrollable urge to customise my blog to my own particular specifications in order to make my blog unique and work exactly as I want it to.It can't be helped, despite my resolutions to concentrate only on Glam-Mum-Ous subjects... So for the next few weeks, I'll blog a series of articles about what I'm...

I have to admit that I'm a sucker when it comes to expensive make-up. I tell myself that since I don't wear much make-up, it's worth splashing out a little more on something that will make me feel like a godess when I do wear it!Unfortunately, designer brands are not cheap. In fact, if I want to buy my favorite Chanel lippy I have to save...
