Problem solving

When people ask me what kind of skills a work from home mompreneur needs I tend to put 'being good at problem solving' first. Indeed, when the computer is down and you have work to do, you'd better find a creative solution fast.

I've just returned from a few lovely days in France, but am now facing various IT 'issues'. It's important to be pragmatic in such situations and not let these troubles spoil the weekend. There usually is some solution, and putting things in perspective is key.

Having said that, I've got to go, got to do something about the computer.

The Yummy Mummy Manifesto

OIver the years it has happened more than once that I've picked up a book, read it and thought 'wish I had written this'. The feeling was strong when reading the diary of Bridget Jones, many of Nigella Lawson's great cookery books and more recently when I read Anna Johnson's book: THE YUMMY MUMMY MANIFESTO.

A great read, well written, with beautiful drawings by Anna Johnson herself, funny anecdotes and sound advice on what is a delicate balance between enjoying motherhood to the full on the one hand and retaining your identity and sensuality on the other.
Recommended reading for all mums!

Unsurprisingly,Anna also has a site:
