Dr Phil

A friend of mine, publisher Marieke Hoogwout (of publishing agency REUNION in the Netherlands) recently pointed out something Dr Phil had said to a mother. It stuck to my mind: "if you love your children, take care of their mother".

Worth remembering...

New mom of the month

To-day is All Saints Day, a day that has been described in Malcom Lowry's book Under the Volcano in a particularly haunting way. A day for special thoughts for loved ones who passed away. A day for visiting graveyards.

On a somewhat lighter note it it also quite simply the first day of a new month, which is why there is a new 'mom of the month'. This time it's Belinda Fallaux, mother of two and freelance journalist. She considers the combination of freelancing and motherhood to be ideal. I tend to agree with her (on a part time basis...).

Have a look at www.businessanddiapers.com, both at the home page and the download section, to find out more about Belinda, how she juggles play dates and deadlines.
