Power of Music with Jennifer Cockcroft
It all began - as so many musical journeys do - with learning the recorder at primary school, then having flute lessons which eventually resulted in passing my grade 8 exams at the age of 17. Throughout secondary school I was in pretty much every ensemble going, from the chamber and main choirs, to the wind band and orchestra, and even led a flute choir for a while.
Guest Blog : 10 Things Motherhood has taught me: Sophie Spiegler
We live in a world that talks about support but the hidden messages always point to celebrating the self sufficient person. Sadly this sets us parents up to FAIL! Despite being a time when resources and energy are low, our need for human contact, connection and empathy is at our highest. We’re truly vulnerable. Building a support network before and after my baby came, and making time and effort to invest in those relationships has reaped rewards.
Guest Blog: A day in the Life with Lauren: Flexible Working Mum and Founder of Mumming.org, Co-working and Events Community
set up my brand new biz which is a co-working club for work-from-home mums with a pop-up creche called Mumming. We come to work together on our dream businesses and share ideas whilst having a proper good coffee! As well as that, I’m also training to be a Social Media Consultant with my other Biz Social Chocolates. Just a bit on my plate then!
Guest Blog: What life is really like as a Mum on (a Music) Tour … with Miriam Allan
I’m also the Mum who misses her children with a pain that crushes her chest. I have the very best husband who could possibly exist and hate the patronising question “who’s looking after the children”? He’s not a superhero, he’s a DAD. And he is awesome at being a Dad. As good as any Mum. Certainly as good as I ever could be.

Guest Blog: A day that changed everything for Caz and her family (all about Hydrocephalus)
Shortly after, we found ourselves sitting in the room. the room was a little white ‘Counselling Room’. I had walked past it on several occasions during this pregnancy and each time it had made me go cold. In the little room they gave me a tissue and a glass of water. Loss of brain function was mentioned, specialists were mentioned, unknown outcome…
Guest Blog: A day in the Life with Lisa Few, Woman’s Health Physiotherapist
So about my day, it generally starts with an early morning wake up call from my favourite little person whispering in my ear “is it 6 yet Mummy!!” The next 45 minutes generally are spent running around breakfast, teeth, packing school bags and asking 100 times for school shoes to be put on. I’m sure you can all relate to this part of the day! Once school drop off is done my 2nd job starts.
Guest Blog: A day in the life of a Small Business Owner…with Kat Heath, founder of 2.4 Blogzine
My typical day varies so much. I have an eleven month old and a four year old who is in reception so I cram as much as I can in between baby groups and school pick up. After school I stop working until the kids are in bed.
Guest Blog: Day in the life of a Small Business Owner…with Ellie Kelly, founder of Buttons Parties and Explore Play Create
Bar the washing up and dusting I love all the elements of my days. I find joy in playing and getting to spend so much time with my daughter, I love and enjoy my work, I find great satisfaction in a hover and I find peace, calm and joy getting out of the house for a dog walk.
Power of Music: Guest Blog with Suzy Reading
I think musical means an affinity with music - whether that’s appreciation, the ability to make it, or a sense of rhythm. My 4 year old is an incredible beat boxer, that’s musicality to me :)
Power of Music with Stacie, Awesome Mama Illustration
I sang to Fox when he was in my belly and the first thing he heard when he was born was me singing the Mamas and the Papas to him. He now sings Dream A little dream to me as I get him ready for bed.
