Video: 5 Clever Steps to Mummy Me Time

September 20, 2011 //  by Uju//  6 Comments

So BritMums, the biggest UK community of parent bloggers, set a topic for its Video Bloggers asking what we do with ‘Mummy Me Time?’ in September – that supposed free time we get now that the kids are back at school.

The real question is: how do we get the ‘Mummy Me Time’ in the first place? I don’t claim to have all the answers but I did come up with a handy checklist in this, my first official BritMums video. Check it out!

    Well done Uju! Fab to put a face to the name too. I had to laugh when you said ‘preferably no wine in the morning’. I haven’t reached those levels of despair yet! I desperately look forward to the day when I can lock that bathroom door again.

    Hey Mari, thanks so much – great to hear coming from a vlogging star like yourself! I was held back by the whole technical aspect of video blogging, but hopefully things will run a bit smoother now and I can get a few more up :-)

    Hi Nomita, ha ha, you haven’t reached the pit of despair? Just you wait, he he. Only joking (or am I?…) And yes it’s a real milestone when you can lock the bathroom door. Then you can enjoy the interesting rhythms of your child banging on the door ;-) Glad you liked the vid and thanks for watching!

    I love the tips! And your new look! Will pass this link on to my sister, who’s a new mom, so she can start making time for herself now.
