Amazing Kids Furniture From Sue Ryder Online

I am sure many of you will be familiar with Sue Ryder and the incredible work that they do providing hospice and neurological care for so many facing a frightening and often life-changing diagnosis.  I am also sure that many of you are familiar with their shops in high streets across the country.  You may have even donated to them yourself. But how many of you knew they also have an online store?  I didn't. I was recently approached by them and offered the chance to review an item of furniture from this incredible Sue Ryder online store and I was utterly taken aback by the ...

Children Need Support After Natural Disasters

October 25, 2013 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

The following is brought to you by Plan UK.  It is NOT a sponsored post. Children Need Support After Natural Disasters A natural disaster is a truly devastating event and it will have a significant effect on all members of a community, but especially the children. Young people need security in their lives in order to feel safe and when their community is torn apart by the effects of a natural disaster, this security disappears. The adult role models in their lives will likely be traumatised and stressed out after the event, which will make it more difficult for children to feel safe. ...

A Christmas Wish…

December 13, 2012 By jbmumofone 6 Comments

'Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la...... Up until today my main feeling regarding the upcoming festivities was one of stress. Stress about how I am going to manage multiple bedding changes to accommodate various relations coming and going and whether or not there will be a Marks and Spencers food store open anywhere on our route back from deepest, darkest North wales on Christmas Eve. Then I read this post by Kate Takes 5. And I felt like a prize turkey. This post has stayed with me all day. While I am wasting energy worrying about essentially nothing, there are kids ...

Save Syria’s Children

Save Syria’s Children

In June 2012 a small group of bloggers wrote about the terrible atrocities occurring in Syria, with particular regard to the effect this was having on the children of Syria.  A large number of fellow bloggers also got involved to help to raise awareness.   Sadly we are now three months on and the atrocities are still occurring.  Can we really continue to just look away and do nothing?  Perhaps this post will make no difference at all but even if it makes just one of you do something, anything, you can to help then it will be worth it.   Horrific crimes against children ...

Lymphatic Cancer Awareness Week: 10th-16th September 2012

Lymphatic Cancer Awareness Week takes place from 10 to 16 September, and aims to raise awareness of lymphoma, the UK’s fifth most common cancer.

Mum of One Will Race for Life: Cancer Research UK

Every two minutes someone in the UK is told they have cancer.  Every TWO minutes.  As long as it takes to boil the kettle.  For the lucky ones those minutes might mean a cup of tea.  For the unlucky, the unthinkable. Cancer Research UK are continually striving to prevent, diagnose and treat all forms of cancer, and they have saved millions of lives.  But they need our help.  They need funding. Race for Life is the UK’s biggest fight against cancer and the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK. Since Race for Life started in 1994, an incredible six million participants have ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
