The day Erica called and asked me to blog for Yummy Mummy Club was a turning point in my journey from blogger to book author. Have you ever wanted to blog? Write a magazine article? Get your book published? I went from being the Activity Mummy here on YMC, to writing magazine features, to becoming the published author of Boredom Busters.
Here are a few tips on how to turn your posts into pages:
Sometimes you just have to put the laundry aside and enjoy some giggles and family-time. It’s good for the soul. This weekend, I put out some Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons candy and the kids et moi got creative. And had fun. Yummy fun.

Cinderella
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Aladdin
Pocahontas (we can call the daughter of a chief a princess right?)
Tangled
The Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast (the beast was a prince right?)

There is only so much one can do with a babe on the breast (or hooked up to a pump or busy with a bottle). Just when you get the baby latched (or machine attached or water boiling) the big kids have instant needs. "I'm hungry" "I'm bored" "I need to pee". Here are some "mom-hands-off activities" for big kids; keeping them occupied while you feed baby.
