A Modern Mother

See you at #CyberMummy

I'm heading over to CyberMummy today. See you soon!

The working mum guilt tax

As I went through my emails on the train to London on Friday, one sent a wave of panic through me:

Cake Sale on Friday!

Evening All,

I hope that you have had a relaxing week away from school!  Need to set the alarm for the morning - argh! Just to remind everyone that it is our cake sale on Friday, so any donations of your lovely home baking and any help for the frenzied sale would be fantastic!!!

Thanks 
Mrs H

What fabulous timing. I had back-to-back meetings set for the day, with just enough time to arrive back at the school gate and pick up the girls. There was no way I could fit in baking a few cakes. 

The Help (official UK trailer) and book giveaway

I'm so excited! One of my favourite novels, The Help, is coming out in film this autumn!

*squeal*

I wrote a while back about who should be cast in the film, and the preview looks like it won't disappoint.

 

If you haven't read it yet, Dreamworks have donated 5 copies of The Help to giveaway on my blog.

If you would like to be entered in the competition to win a copy -- please leave a comment below before 30 June that contains the phrase "The Help".

Good luck!
