Be a fun mum. That’s what I called my blog.  But what does it mean? Well, it’s going to be different for every person but I’m suggesting some fundamental qualities of a fun mum. Believe me, I’m not claiming to have all these qualities, especially number 6, but it’s good to have ideals to ground me in this parenting journey.You don’t have to paint all day, do craft all the time or play a constant game hide and seek to be a fun mum. Sure those things are fun but I believe in the value of sharing who you are with a child and discovering ways to Live-with-a-capital-L life together. If you...…Be a fun mum.

I started the Love the Moment Challenges back in 2011 as an achievable way for mothers to weave connection into their lives, because it’s not about waiting for life to slow down or change.  Instead, it’s about capturing, noticing, celebrating and enjoying moments as they happen. For example taking the time to feel the roughness of tree bark, stopping to smell a flower, chasing butterflies or caressing your child’s soft cheek. As I came out of a blur of depression, these challenges became a new kind of normal for me, and the little things I...…I started the Love the Moment Challenges back in 2011 as an achievable way for mothers to weave connection into their lives, because it’s not about waiting for life to slow down or change.  Instead, it’s about capturing, noticing, celebrating and enjoying moments as they happen.

I don’t subscribe to the generalisation that every single moment needs to be amazing or that you have to love and celebrate every moment with your kids. That’s not what the Love the Moment Challenges (I developed as monthly challenges in 2010) are about.Rather it’s about connection and weaving significance into the moments you have. In our modern lifestyle, it’s tempting to put family life into a box for the weekend or Friday night. I’m a huge fan of planning family time — for sure — but it’s easy to weave moments of connection into the everyday, and as I look back, it’s the...…I don’t subscribe to the generalisation that every single moment needs to be amazing or that you have to love and celebrate every moment with your kids. That’s not what the Love the Moment Challenges (I developed as monthly challenges in 2010) are about.Rather it’s about connection and weaving significance into the moments you have.

My name is Sharron and I’d like to share my passion for buying and selling second hand and new items online. For me, it’s like having an online antique/speciality shop, where I am able to find items that people often have hunted high and low for and connect them to new happy owners. I am also sought out as an agent for finding hard-to-find things for people with specialised requests, because I know where to look. Now we have the capacity to do trading online, it really has opened up this avenue, so items aren’t just limited to chance and location and if you are lucky enough to pop into a...…My name is Sharron and I’d like to share my passion for buying and selling second hand and new items online.
