Ever since I was little I admired street artists and Guinness record breakers performing the art of plate spinning, years later my daily life feels just like that. I have many commitments up in the air.. trying manically to keep them all turning - a 2 yr old, a 1 year old, work, husband, animals and the house... Dashing to and fro, hoping to just keep them all turning!

About 21st Century Mum

I'm a work from home mum to a gorgeous son, currently 8 months old. Working around our baby my husband and I sit down on a Sunday and timetable our week carefully to meet our work needs and ensure our boy gets to all his playdates etc.

Writing is something I've always enjoyed and when I was recently asked if I would write a column for an online magazine at home I leaped at the chance and also decided to expand on it here...

Now please don't think I sit around all day with nothing better to do that while away hours writing: life is very busy, between work, raising our son, he wears cloth diapers, I make all his food at home (honestly I've used one jar of baby food so far!) But this I guess you could say is either my hobby, or at least my sanity time.

I hope you enjoy reading this, that it may provide at least some mirth, maybe some guidance. Do feel free to provide comment too - preferably constructive, or advice for other readers etc.
