Talking Puberty with Teens – #TeenTalk

by mentalparentals, in category Health

Even as grown adults, it’s not polite to talk about periods.  It is such a taboo subject, but why?  It’s a perfectly normal bodily function – as are all changes that teenagers experience during puberty.  Oh, that awkward couple of years with more hormones and grunts than pregnancy and childbirth.  Well, maybe. But, Celebrity mum… Read More

kids addicted to tablets

It all began, many years ago, with the invention of the television.  An incredible innovation, bringing the cinema into your own living room, providing entertainment for the family.  Fast-forward a handful of decades, and we’re living in the 21st century.  For every person, there’s at least one screen; and many of those are classed as… Read More

Losing Weight on a Budget

I’ve recently returned to work after 11 months of maternity leave, a whole dress size bigger and decidedly unhappy about my body shape.  I have challenged myself to lose a certain amount of weight before Q’s 1st birthday, but I’m in this for the long haul to lose weight and get back in shape.  However, with… Read More

How to Lose the Baby Weight

How to Lose the Baby Weight

My first and second pregnancies were quite different in the effects that they had on my body. I put on more than my fair share of baby weight when carrying O, but less so with Q. However, a long period of maternity leave and a love of baking has left me with a rather wobbly… Read More

Taking Care of Your Digestive Health for New Mum’s

by mentalparentals, in category Health, Pregnancy
digestive health new mum

Going through pregnancy, labour and birth has a dramatic effect on a mother’s body.  Postnatally, our own health care is often neglected because our attentions are so fixed on protecting and caring for this little person that has just been brought into the world.  My first pregnancy had little effect on my digestive health, but… Read More

New Frames with Specsavers

Specsavers

A few weeks ago, I received a letter from Specsavers reminding me that I needed to go for an eye test.  For the last two years, I have gotten used to wearing a pair of Red or Dead frames for most tasks – driving, reading, using the computer and watching television…  So for a blogger and busy mum,… Read More

At the start of your child’s journey through school, as a parent or guardian you are asked to sign a document to state that you are happy for your child to be subject to health assessments inside school by the local health authority.  I signed that form as O started his Reception year last September… Read More

Laura Trott Keep Playing #LAG_1

How many times have we heard comments like “girls shouldn’t play that sport” or seen girls’ teams playing in half-filled arenas?  If you’ve been following Wimbledon over this last week and a half, you may have noticed the lack of crowd in Centre Court for the Ladies Singles Quarter Final between Cibulkova and Vesnina yesterday.  What impact… Read More
