Motivation & Inspiration for mums in business
As we creep ever closer to the end of 2009, I thought it would be nice to note down for posterity some of my highpoints of the year. And to make it more fun, I thought I’d turn it into a game and get some of my blogging friends to share their best bits from the [...]
When I was young, as soon as the Christmas festivities were over, I was made to write thank you letters. Whilst still around, thank you letters are becoming less common and are more likely to be replaced with an email, text or phone call. But despite the change in appearance the sentiment is still there [...]
I find New Year a strange mix of emotions - a time of reflection on the year just ending and the promise and potential of the year to come. 7 years ago I started a little personal tradition of writing myself a letter on New Year’s Eve. I have usually started to think about this in [...]

We wrote a couple of weeks ago about our honour at being invited by Sarah Brown to attend the Downing Tweet Christmas Party on 4th December. Honour quickly turned to excitement, trepidation and a full scale shopping and pampering spree the like of which neither of us had never seen before! And now the party is just a memory [...]
As the list of business books we receive, read and review grows, what I am always keen to find is something a little bit different or something written from an original angle. The main focus of this book – Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs: How Ten Leading Business Women Turned a Good Idea into a [...]
