Keeping mums fun, fit and fabulous
In the last two weeks of the school summer holidays my daughter asked me on an almost hourly basis, exactly which school locker I thought that she might be allocated (a very exciting new addition to her year 3 privileges). She was just so very excited to be going back, and yet after her first […]
Summer is coming (hurrah!) and like always at this time of year I find myself scouring online retail in search of the ultimate swimwear solution. You know – the one that makes your bum miraculously lift from halfway down the back of your legs, flattens your tummy and makes your boobs look like the perky, […]
Here is a much need bit of me time for all those mama’s out there surviving the Easter school holiday’s.. Sing out loud, dance around your house, or just have in the background whilst pouring that first Prosecco of the day. Love KOKOKALM xx
This Christmas was to be the great escape. No overspending, or running around the country to see people that you could see at any time of the year and most importantly, no ceremonious over consumption of food and alcohol; the remanence of which would leave you sweating in the depths of a cold dark gym […]
We paid a fleeting visit to one of my favourite places in the UK this weekend. My university days (and maybe a few beyond) were spent in the wonderful city of Bristol. Full of creative energy, beautiful surroundings and positive people this place always inspires. This playlist takes me back to the endless summer Sunday […]
Last Saturday, my mum came to over to our house to look after Toodles over night. I can’t tell you how exciting that was. No 3.5 hour round trip to drop her off (inc. courteous cup of tea with grandma), no packing for her, and no travelling for us. Win-Win. We were also both equally […]
Going back to, or joining for the first time the masses on the daily school run can be a daunting time not only for the kids, but also the parents. I think men take a more laid back approach, but I certainly know at my kids school that there are always those mums that seem […]
In the previous article: Why have I still got a mummy tummy, and what causes it? I touched on the topic of diastasis recti (aka diastasis split/ abdominal split/ abdominal separation) and the huge physical impact that this condition can have on our bodies, particularly on the tummy, both during and after pregnancy. A diastasis […]

The Summer Solstice Watching the sun rise at Stonehenge on the Summer Solstice has been high on the wish list of things to do for some time. This year, as it’s my 40th year, I decided to make it happen. (also see: ‘40 Things to do in your 40th year’). The Summer Solstice (also known […]
Summer: aka ‘festival season’ is almost upon us, so it’s time to dust off those muddy boots, dig out the fancy dress and head to the nearest field to embarrass the kids with a little mum and dad dancing. Festival are great fun. They are overgrown playgrounds for adults and children alike, full of music, […]
Summer is definitely on its way! As are the many festivals and carnivals that the summer months bring. The sunshine always makes me think of festivals and music, and one of my favourite festivals is Nottinghill Carnival, full of amazing music, costume and dance. Here is a just a selection of some of the amazing […]
