It's social media week which means the CyberMummy founders (me, Jen and Sian) are going to be very, very busy. What's social media week? It connects people, content, and conversation around emerging trends in social media. And it's global. We're going to be speaking at LBi and at a few other venues across London. …
As a blogger, lots of really interesting products come my way. But by far the one that I have been given to try and loved the most is the Three Mifi.
It's a small black gem that fits nicely in the palm of my hand. But it's not just sleek and pretty; think dongle on steroids! It's a mobile broadband modem that connects up to five devices. It turns your handbag into a mobile hotspot!
Mifi has become good friends with iPad (the basic Wifi one I bought while in the US). It really comes into its own when I'm on the go and on a train to London or in between meetups and in a coffee shop. I've even used him on long haul trips in the car on the way to visit our Scottish relatives. It turns down time into productive time. That's good when you are a mum and time on your own is limited.

My garndener just told me this joke. I couldn't resist posting it. “Hi. This is Sarah Palin. Is Senator Lieberman in?” “No, Mrs. Palin. It’s Yom Kippur.” “Well, hello, Yom. Can I leave a message with you? That woman scares me. PS — here's the background if you don't get …
The most wonderful thing has happened to me. I've been mistaken for someone else. The Four Seasons has been in touch and they want me to write for their new family blog Have Kids, Will Travel. The best part is that we have to try out a resort!
We get to spend the weekend at their Hampshire property and pretend we are Mr. and Mrs. Muck, with mucky kids. Get this, we even have an itinerary!
Staring down at the radiology request, a few handwritten words seemed to jump upwards off the page to the sky: Gritty. 8 mm. URGENT. Surely this wasn’t about me. A month earlier I found a lump. My GP couldn’t feel it, but she sent me to get it checked out. I wasn’t that worried at …
