How on earth do you do it?

This week, Emily does the big reveal on her ‘secret’ behind surviving juggling three very young children… Previous columns have alluded to the lack of originality apparent in remarks from well-meaning, yet mis-guided passers-by. (If you missed my thoughts on this, here’s a quick summary: DON’T ask me if multiples run in my family, DON’T [...]

Emily our multiple parenting columnist recently reviewed a copy of Myleene Klass’ pregnancy diary on her own blog, More Than Just a Mother, and we had to share it here at BG as it’s hilarious! I wanted to like this. I really did. Not least because I so wanted those nice people at Virgin to [...]
